FA release statement confirming NUFC player has been charged with improper conduct

The FA have released a statement confirming Isaac Hayden has been charged with improper conduct following a social media post he made after our 1-0 defeat to Chelsea earlier this month.

After the match, Hayden posted the following on Twitter, suggesting Newcastle were playing against '12 men' after VAR failed to give us a blatant penalty and refused to send off Kai Havertz for his elbow on Dan Burn:

"Some performance from the boys against 12 men today. Proud to be associated with the club is an understatement."

The FA have now responded after investigating the matter, stating that the midfielder has breached FA Rule E3.1 and has until March 23 to provide a response.

Here's the statement they released just a few moments ago:

Interesting that a player looks set to be fined for such a comment, yet there seems to be nothing said or no punishment for referees making clear and costly errors on a weekly basis.
