A STATEMENT ON THE USE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING WEBSITES

 

> (issued by the Football Association)

 

The FA has issued clarification to participants relating to the use of social networking sites including, but not limited to, Twitter, Facebook and internet blogs.

 

Participants can be defined as anyone actively involved in football as a player, manager, coach, referee or working within the game as an administrator or official of a club, league or other body.

 

Participants should be aware that comments made on such sites may be considered public comment, and that further to FA Rule E3, any comments which are deemed improper, bring the game into disrepute, or are threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting may lead to disciplinary action.

 

Comments which are personal in nature or could be construed as offensive, use foul language or contain direct or indirect threats aimed at other participants are likely to be considered improper.

 

Participants are required to act in the best interests of the game at all times and should be aware of this when using social networking websites. Furthermore, participants are reminded that postings on social networking sites which they believe to be visible to a limited number of selected people may still end up in the public domain and consequently, care should be exercised with regards to the contents of such postings.

 

In addition, we would remind participants that social networking postings could also lead to civil proceedings being brought by affected parties.
