Football: Oyston faces FA charge for abuse

BLACKPOOL chairman Karl Oyston was charged by the Football Association yesterday for text messages in which he called a supporter “a retard.”

Back in December it emerged that Oyston had sent a series of text messages to fan Stephen Smith, who he told to “enjoy the rest of your special needs day out.”

Oyston later apologised but the FA said that the messages constituted five breaches of its rules and the Tangerines chief now has until 6pm on March 30 to respond to the charge.

He has come under fire from fans of his own club as well as anti-discrimination group Kick It Out, while the local Blackpool Gazette scrapped his weekly column immediately.
