Joe Kinnear escaped any charge for appearing in the tunnel ten minutes before half time on Sunday, but the FA are still considering what to do about Joe’s tirade of 53 swear words in his press conference at Newcastle’s Darsley Park training ground last Thursday.
Joe Kinnear – still not in the clear with FA
A spokesman for the FA said.
“There will be no charge in connection with him appearing in the tunnel at Goodison Park but he has been written to by the FA just reminding that he was serving a touchline ban,”
“As far as the Press conference is concerned, the FA’s football regulation department is still considering the matter so that is still ongoing at the moment.”
Kinnear, who is 61, could find himself charged with bringing the game into disrepute, and after all the publicity of the event, where the sound recording and written transcript of the press conference was all over the internet, we’d be surprised if Joe is not charged.
Comments welcome.

Comment #41Disillusioned – absolutely agree with you 100%
There’s so much crap written on this blog these days, and it was a breath of fresh air to read something sensible for a change.
Well done mate.

Comment #42rooks – I absolutely agree with you as well.
Kinnear did act like a complete dick, and it’s a shame that so many people on here don’t seem to understand that simple fact. As our disillusioned friend rightly pointed out, even Sir Bobby said he thought it was wrong.
We may be in the minority on this one, but least we’re in very good company.
