\"\"<\/a>West Ham United\u2019s player Carlton Cole has accepted a disciplinary charge by the England FA over comments he made on his tweeter page over Ghanaians who witnessed the Ghana-England game at the Wembley Stadium on March 29, 2011.<\/p>\n

The FA charged Cole with improper conduct.<\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/a> reports today April 14, 2011 that the player is likely to face a fine.<\/p>\n

\u201cCole is likely to face a fine, although there is no precedent for allegedly racist comments expressed via Twitter\u201d, the report said.<\/p>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> also reports that Cole can be fined in a region of \u00a310,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cCole is likely to escape a ban but can expect a fine in the region of \u00a310,000\u201d, the Daily Mail reported.<\/p>\n

When the match was ongoing, Cole tweeted \u201cImmigration has surrounded the Wembley premises! I knew it was a trap! Hahahaha\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only way to get out safely is to wear an England jersey and paint your face w\/ the St. George\u2019s \u2018flag!\u201d, he posted.<\/p>\n

The player later apologized for his comments, twitting that it was a joke and not racist after being criticized by fellow twitter users.<\/p>\n
