Burnley’s Andre Gray has been charged with misconduct in respect of social media comments made between 9 January 2012 and 11 March 2012.

It is alleged the comments were abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute contrary to FA Rule E3(1).

It is further alleged that these breaches include reference to an "aggravating factor", namely, sexual orientation and/or gender and/or colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3(2).

The player has until 6pm on Wednesday 31 August 2016 to respond to the charge.

Pathetic, yeah the comments were terrible and all that but digging up stuff from the past, some loser has too much spare time.

Burnley should petition the RSPCA to charge Aldo in retaliation.

Will he get a match suspension or a fine?

Will he get a match suspension or a fine?

The RS beauts will come out and petition that he get the same length of ban as what Suarez got, then when he doesn't, they will start crying of the injustice against them, and how they would have won the league if Suarez hadn't been banned, then someone on RAWK will write a poem about it all that will have grown men in tears.

He wrote an article, yesterday I think it was, stating how ashamed he was and how he realised what he had done and how sorry he was. It was four years ago and the guy sounded genuinely remorseful.

They have some nerve castigating anyone.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Was one of those "football twitter" accounts. Think he was an Everton fan as well

Imagine someone taking the time to read someone's old internet posts and vaulting them ?

I'm glad it would never happen on here.

I suppose, in their head, Saturday's result doesn't count then seeing as Gray should never have been on the pitch after his comments.
Another 3 points for their alternative league results.

Where did the kopites moan about him?

That's what I was wondering.

I hope they just fine him

Said some awful things, but he sincerely apologised and it was 4 years ago

I'm sure you could find something to ban three quarters of Premier League player Twitter users if you go back far enough
