Mason Holgate

Not seen a thread on this but since last nights match a load of old homophobic tweets he made have arisen. Lets hope that he also gets a similar ban to Gray did last year.

Bitter Liverpool fans digging old social media messages up from years ago to try and retrospectively get a player banned???

Nah don't believe you.

Apparently, Firmino said he uses his mum to wash his teeth. But realised he was called Holgate and not Colgate

It was an Everton fan who dug out the Gray ones wasn't it?

Pretty sure it was an Everton fan, I remember seeing his Twitter profile and the abuse he was getting and reveling in.

To be charged by the FA for the tweets.

The main difference from what I read is Holgate was 15 and not a professional footballer.

Was Gray actually professional when he did his tweets / posts? I thought he was still in the depths of the non-league? Happy to be corrected!

I thought he was. Also a bit older. Also happy to be corrected.

It'll be interesting to see what the verdict is from the FA on this one.

Apparently, Gray's remorse and apology did not warrant any leniency.

Let's see how Holgate gets on.

PS: Can't believe clubs aren't checking their players accounts and that the players themselves aren't doing this. He could even have a paid a mate to go through and warn him if he'd posted anything stupid years ago. I doubt he's short of a few bob.

I asked burnley about checking accounts after the gray incident, Bentley replied that they wouldn't do it, unbelievable

I believe Ings paid one of his mates to do odd jobs for him, must be nice!

SSN saying FA are aware of homophobic tweets made by Holgate aged 15 whilst at Barnsley but has not opened an investigation.

Whenever I hear his name I always think it sounds more like the name of a tube station, or perhaps a sleepy village in Midsomer.

No action to be taken against him.
Not surprising, would possibly open up a real can of worms punishing a person for doing something whilst essentially "a child"

Letting a professional footballer have a Twitter account is like giving a monkey a shotgun!

Sure I read it, or heard SSN, saying no further action will be taken. As i remember thinking, Andre got a harsh punishment, although I didn't see either tweets as I'm not on tweeter

He wasn't a professional footballer at the time. He was a schoolboy.

1/. Was Andre a professional at the time of his tweets?
2/.What is the age of criminal responsibility in this country? 10?
3/. This whole law and the ability to remove previous social media comments does need to be looked at.
Not just for footballers I might add, many professionals are having their social media posts checked.
Think before you post. I wish I did.

Are we all agreed that you generally shouldn't give schoolboys shotguns, and professional footballers social media accounts?

He was at the time his Twitter account was displaying the homophobic tweets, just as Gray was a Burnley player when his account was.

10 in England and Wales, 8 in Scotland but the prosecution age up there is 12 oddly.

Everton defender Mason Holgate has been given a formal warning by the Football Association after posting allegedly homophobic tweets in 2012. (BBC)

Think the people here who should be flogged are those that work at these clubs looking after these idiots and don't tell them to either clear their whole social media history when signing a contract or don't make them get a new "official" one.

Typical FA to sneak this appalling decision out while most fans are more concerned about the National team.

Holgate looks a bit of a troubled young man - body language-wise.
