Cole accepts FA charge over Twitter comments

West Ham striker Carlton Cole has accepted a charge of improper conduct in relation to comments he made on Twitter during England’s game against Ghana last month.

Cole caused outrage during the 1-1 draw at Wembley when he tweeted: “Immigration has surrounded the Wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahaha. The only way to get out safely is to wear an England jersey and paint your face w/ the St. George’s flag!”
