Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has been given a one-match suspension and £50,000 fine by the Football Association in relation to a social media post.
Alli, 24, was charged back in February over a joke made on social media regarding the coronavirus pandemic. The Spurs star joked about the outbreak and appeared to mock an Asian man.
Alli will now miss Spurs’ Premier League game against Manchester United when the campaign resumes next week.

The 24-year-old was charged back in February over a joke made on social media regarding the coronavirus pandemic and appeared to mock an Asian man.
He later deleted the post and released a video to apologise. He said: “I let myself down and the club.”
The FA have now handed Alli a one-match suspension the £50,000 fine and the game against United at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium next Friday.
Their statement read: “The Tottenham Hotspur FC player denied that a social media post breached FA Rule E3(1), as it was insulting and/or improper and/or brought the game into disrepute, and constituted an “Aggravated Breach”, which is defined in FA Rule E3(2), as it included a reference, whether express or implied, to race and/or colour and/or ethnic origin and/or nationality.
“However, it was subsequently found proven by an independent Regulatory Commission.”
United’s game against Spurs will be their first since football was brought to a halt as a result of the global crisis.

This guy is not properly raised. He allowed fame & fortune to enter his head. He cut off from his father who took very good care of him as a child in Lagos. Two years ago, he refused his own biological mother to enter the Club gate to just say hi to him in London. The mother is an English woman who have not seen her son for a long time. Dala Alli is an outcast and the instability will continue to shadow his life.
Brother Edoman. Please get your fact right. Accepted, we should always forgive but it’s never an easy thing to do but God’s Grace helps us to do that. Dele Alli is only expressing the pain of not truly enjoying biological parental love/care, for he was abandoned by money chasing Nigerian father n a druggy mother. Only to be looked after by another English family. He is someone that love his root if not his childhood experience could easily have got him to change his name.
Edoman, I stand with you on your rights to express your views as you see them. I am at a loss as to why a self proclaimed pompous pride ridden rabid Guardian of Morality will have the guts to tell you to get your facts rights. What nonsense. But something we have come accustomed to from fools like him.
Reading through your write up @Petersides tells of someone that never saw the four walls of school otherwise, understanding the word please word “please”,should not have been a problem. Please is an expression of politeness. And in the context I used it, I only politely disagree with my brother man Edoman. Anyway pityside LolZ, I understand your misplaced n empty vessel vertuperation, which has no correlation with anything said above. Please; again not sure u understand yet the meaning, humble yourself n stop disgracing yourself here by struggling to use words/phrases borrowed from other forumites. Lol. Your brothers in the zoo are about carrying a placard to stage a protest that you are missing.
Hahahaha… Whao just heard a big baby of over 40 ngai ngai ngai cry. Sorry dear, not your fault to be an orphan. Trust me you shall do your orphanage zoo proud. Say yes I can Pityside or Peterside. Odeeniyene…lolz
What an anticlimax. I thought you were made of more solid stuff but one should not be surprised. Afterall, the quality of your response can only be consistent with your level of education, exposure and reasoning faculty, you fool.
I got a piece of advice for you Mr Gorilla Glory. don’t even bother attempting to obtain that certificate to train children on football because, if the quality of the gibberish that you come out with on this platform is anything to go by, you will fail.
A word is enough for the wise. Come to think of it, that doesn’t even apply to you because you are foolish.
Nincompoop.
Fooooolllll @Peterside@ over 40. LolZ. A written statement is a write up. Equivocal has more to do speaking. I am not surprised anyway. Na bad market wey don press you as Dem don employ Rohr make you dey show the world where you truly come from. Show me your certificate, then I will give you 10 naira to go buy another 10 of it from Iya bonlanle pepper shop. You may never in your life comprehend how exceedingly happy I’m to join in frustrating all u lots criminal business with SE by writing to support Rohr. Nothing you or anyone of you thieves will say that can ever feel a pinch. I n others have achieved our goal. Hip hip hip hooray. Loolzz. Continue going beggarly for friendship, I understand, always expected of an orphan. Well I sail on.
That’s better. More content this time around but one thing is constant. Write it long or write it short, it will still be full of rubbish as usual. Let me enlighten you. Equivocal is something that is open to multiple explanations be it in written or spoken words, you fool. What you have just managed to do is to show the world the depth of cognitive impairment and mental depravity. You don’t need to be on this site, you need a doctor and fast.
They have employed Rohr to earn millions of naira to which not 1 penny will touch your hand and you are here gloating about it and wasting my time? You are mad. Let Rohr enjoy his contract and I will enjoy the labour of my hard earned Masters Degree. And as for you, continue typing in broken English because that is what low life illiterate lost souls know how to do best.
I can scan my Degree and send it to you like you requested. But I guarantee you, what will be produced in your Bolanle Pepper Soup Joint will land whoever produces it in any reputable establishment in jail. This is because it will be a forgery. I guess you didn’t know that either, dude. Again, your stupidity has been laid bare for all the world to see.
Well over 100K people visit this site at any one point. They are all now aware that Mr Gorilla Glory knows where to forge Certificates. As if that is not bad enough, the stark illiterate does not know the implications of forgery. You reprobate.
Haba… @pitysight or peterside, your mumu over ripe shall. Every of your line tells of a monumental idiot that you are. Coming to a public forum to boast of presenting a so called Master certificate tells of a crass personality that you are. Everyone’s talking about Masters you self dey talk. Lolzz . That means all market women/agbero don get PhD be that now. Man your foolishnes is boundless..
Chineke. On one thread about Sadiq Umar you are mentioning God up and down like a mad man in need of healing and deliverance. Now you are here exchanging Insults. Your pastor will be very proud of you, idiot.
I keep saying it that you are a first grade hopeless hypocrite and you never fail to deliver.
Listen, I would rather boast about having Qualifications rather than boast of NOT having qualifications like you Lol. Also I will rather boast about having certificates rather than boast about knowing where to produce fake certificates, you dumb ass nitwit. If market women and agberos are having masters and Doctorate degrees is that not a sign that our society has made significant progress? I will rather be associated with agberos and market women that possess higher education rather that find myself in the company of egg head empty barrel low life scumbag like yourself who doesn’t know that he is guilty of what he accuses others of.
Buffoon like you.
This guy’s brain is skewed in the direction of some pumpkins about to commit sucide. LolZ. He is so angry. Lolz. O boy there is hope after the life threatening blow of 2.5 years Rohrs new contract,just say the magic word ” yes I can” n I bet you receive some light.
@pityside/peterside, can’t just stop laughing. You have made my day. Many thanks. Oh boy you dey vex o. Looolz.
@peterside calm down.
My Gorilla Glory, the other day someone thought you were a woman and called you Aunty Glory. Tell me something, are a transvestite, a hermaphrodite or just gender confused ha! ha! ha!
Listen chimp, I am not angry at all. I am actually as cool as a cucumber. Pumpkins about to commit suicide is a new one. Whatever next? . But only you can surpass your own stupidity.
I do get vexed when I see hypocrites. I just can’t stand them, most especially illiterate hypocrites.
I am glad to have made your day. I aim to please ha! ha! ha! ha!
All you do is just blather like a bubbly jock. Jokes apart, I m struggling to make some sense out of your lines .All,parallel lines most probably indicative of your head shape, which if I must say, a parallelogram. So no surprise you not making sense, as the lines travel forever never meeting at a point. Something you can say with one short paragraph, you write an encyclopedia on it. Man grow up, there is a different between making a sentence n communicating. Which university award you your masters self? Village town crier using his gong to pass message make more sense than the abracadabra you come pack full here. Hope you ve said the magic words. LolZ. You posting what other forumites said here, struggling to get assistant to fight this jolly good fight eeh. Abeg area make come help pityside oh sorry Peterside. E need some help. L
Illiterate better pass you. I dey shame to read wetin so called nigerian master’s degree holder dey write here. Other nationals dey come read stuff here. Stop disgracing us equomor. Humble yourself, we know n understand the language of an enlightened mind.
Illiterate better pass me how, because they can produce the sort of jazz that you come out with, fool.
So Nigeria is the only place to obtain a Masters degree. You continue to show the readers here of how low your IQ is. You know and understand the language of an enlightened mind??? If I am to make that sentence in from of 14 year olds, they will be like, what? Your sentences are meaningless, your presentations are worthless and your case is hopeless. And you are useless.
Those 14 years of course are your kids. What else to expect. Lolzz. Man go back to primary school n stop fooling yourself.
Man dem, guess you never saw this coming, hahahaha…. Just how we roll man. We banter down d time however we want, no panting . Just good fun, throw some banter is the game. Take no offense n come of your old stone age mentality, then sleep with those magic words ; yes I can like Bob d builder, then my light will shine over you n your household. Trust me man, u gonna wake up understanding that certificate is paper n knowledge divine n stop being stupid, for whatever you have, loads have got them n even higher but brag not about such. Grow up man.
Hmmmm. I am speechless.
@stan, pls allow the market women to do ther stuff
Hahahaha…Surprised anyway to read you bringing my trusting in God into our conversation. That just gives you away as not happy with my comments about you. So sorry if my words hurting you, never intended but just enjoying the conversation, apologies for that. I take no offense in whatever anyone say, cos I honestly take these things as fun. That being said you are a big let down to proper men folk. Learned people don’t come out to public forum to blow their trumpet about their qualifications, take that in, going forward. It shows your proportionate ratio of brain to your head size is 0.00001 to deca million. Please it’s just conversation, take no offense. Your sons mate is giving out £10 million to support BLACK LIVES MATTER, you are here talking about Masters degree in how to turn on the umbrella. O boy, boyo, infact your mumu come sooo over ripe sotey e come busrt dey leak everywhere you go. That box I have got loads of goodies to serve your dead brain, hopefully that it comes alive at some point. Man you are overtly welcome to party. BE MY GUEST. LOLZ.
It is increasing to see that a fraction of what I wrote is just starting to make sense to you. The slowness in how you grasp things should be a worry to your children who unfortunately have a deadbeat for a father. It is not their fault, they didn’t choose it. One can only hope that you haven’t passed your hopeless, baseless and worthless approach to life to your poor kids.
Again, let me enlighten you. There is something known as context. Remember that word and repeat it to yourself 10 times in the shower, that is if you ever see the inside of a bathroom, you dirty stinking pig.
Since you fail miserably to grasp the context of my qualifications and references to God in this dialogue with a pathetic pig like yourself, then your case is more hopeless than I thought. It is actually irredeemable.
My son’s mate is giving out £10 million for black lives matter and yet you are here gloating about Rohr’s contract and boasting that you know where to obtain fake certificates. Mad man.
You are this you are that; repetition repetition repetition. Masters degree holders na so.? Tired of reading same thing. Would have made more sense you spent those wasted years breaking kernel. Atleast your life would have been meaningful doing that. Abeg na joke oo.. lolz
If you had gone to school you would know that repetition is the mother of all skills. It is a very simple principle, apparently not one you are able to grasp.
Also, you will also know that you joke with those who would find your jokes funny. I don’t find you funny. I find you pathetic.
Tired of reading the same thing you say. I think it should be tired of reading, full stop. That is why you dropped out of school and now incapable of obtaining the certificate needed to train children on football. You are nothing but an absolute waste of space.
Hahahaha… Ooooboy my guy dey vex. Take am easy, enjoy this unbelievable fun I have been looking for many days now. No be armed robbers motor u enter. Na Omo boy Glory dey drive you on. Lolzz.
You talk of context. You only managed to ask someone to help you smell that word I can vouch,forgetting to ask the meaning from same person. If you understand the meaning “Masters degree holder” you would have understood the context of my response to My brother man Edoman before running your foul breathe laden mouth in the first place. Even emekpe go one day come tell us say e get masters degree. God help us.
Dude, you need help. Yes I talk about context. I should ask someone help me smell context you say, so words now can be smelt!!! Your case is hopeless and you are beyond redemption.
Finally, it is like you are starting to try to think but the art of rational thinking is beyond you so don’t even try it.
Before opening my breath laden mouth,you said. Time and time again you continue to make a fool of yourself. When you open your mouth is it not laden with breath? If you stop breathing don’t you die? That is basic biology. Are you that thick? Are you that dumb?
Masters degree holder haba typos refuse you to learn am all through masters program. Na waoh …LolZ Talk small small o make u nor cause some investigation into that #1 Iya bonlanle master degree oo . Hickiaaa.
This exchanges have lost steam. I wish I could say it was a pleasure. But I can only shake my head.
I leave you with this,when you point one finger at another person, the remaining 4 fingers are pointing at you.
If you give respect, you will get respect. You are equally guilty of what you accuse Elder Odegbami Mon and Taribo West of. When people don’t agree with your views it is not a license for you to rain insults on them. If you don’t like someone like Odegbami because of their views, they may not necessarily like you too. The world does not revolve around you so please, learn to get off your high horse.
Let this be a lesson to you, there are people out there who will stand up to you, people who will stand up for their rights.
Humble yourself and certain dirt will not come your way.
I leave you in peace.
Oboy leave Odegbami, Taribo alone. Those guys football wise remain my heroes but in other issues that belies what is expected of them, I will latch out at them n whoever, nothing personal but everything to do with matters arising. Oboy let’s not bring them into this our game. You dey mad you dey craze, who dey mad? Onya next…
Pityside, ooooo.are you there? Being Waiting.. please no repetition yeah.
Gentlemen, lets stop please. l beg unaa.

Mikel was simply a bad influence. People can go blinded about Mikel. Never me. Mikel always like to cover the light of a rising star just so only him can be noticed. That was d reason I never wanted him at d last AFCON. But bless Gernot Rohr for standing his ground as he showed he had learned from d mistake he may have made listening to same Mikel at 2018 world cup.

All matches SE played without Mikel right from 2019 AFcon qualifiers,through to the Finals proper in Egypt and now our friendly with Ukraine clearly has proven Mikel was actually contributing nothing to the team but instead slowing the pace of that team. Thank God he retired. All the facts are there. Iwobi played, Ighalo became highest goal scorer . Just shows why it was unfair to critisize Ighalo,for not scoring at world cup: slow midfield. Nothing personal toward Mikel but I will always attack anything negative not minding who that person is and don’t give a hoot whether anyone likes it or not.

Edoman my Comrade. I salute you from one fellow tolerant Nigerian to another. Long may your days be. Please, see what I put above is what Glory wrote about the great Nigerian Legend John Obi Mikel some months back.
Just go through that post and digest the incendiary, mendacious and toxic language that he used against Mikel in that ‘write up’. No wonder the ‘write up’ led to him exchanging abusive words with those who were both horrified and deeply offended by what he wrote.
Among other things, he said Mikel will always cover the light of a rising star. He said Mikel is a bad influence.
Imagine if someone had written such against Aribo. Imagine if it was Honorable Odegbami or Taribo West who had made those statements, trust me Comrade Edoman, we will never hear the last of it. He will insult the living daylight out of these people. He will call them all sorts of names, he will say they are enemies of the people, enemies of progress, he will call them evil people with evil intentions. He will seek to ridicule their personalities.
Yet he can come to a public forum and claim that Mikel always covers the light of a shining star.
This Glory is someone who claims that he will never talk ill about any Super Eagles players in a public space.
Now we know he is a liar as well as a hypocrite.
Comrade Edoman, I apologise if I have caused you any offence. I promise you, I will try not to respond to this Glory guy anymore. Not just out of the huge respect I have for you, but because simply, it’s not worth it, he is not worth it.
Mr Udah,l am delighted to note that this misunderstanding is ended. Thank you. l am proud of you two guys. Lets shake hands and move on. We are all Nigerians (thanks to late President Shagarri who made it possible for me to have duel citizenship) that found joy in Nigerian football. May almighty God continue to bless you and all those who love the two of you. Amen.
