West Ham striker Carlton Cole has accepted a Football Association charge over a Twitter exchange with a Tottenham supporter.
Cole had until 6 p.m. GMT on Thursday night to respond to the charge of making a comment which "was abusive and/or insulting and/or improper and/or brings the game into disrepute."
A FA independent commission will now meet to decide his sanction, with no limit to the possible punishment, reports Press Association Sport.
The charge related to Cole's involvement in a Twitter altercation with a Spurs fan following West Ham's 2-2 Premier League draw at White Hart Lane on Feb. 22.
The former Chelsea striker has been in trouble before for previous postings on social media.
He was fined 20,000 pounds by the FA in 2011 for an insensitive tweet he posted during England's friendly against Ghana.
