FA apologises for Kane/Smalling pocket tweet

The Football Association has written to the club apologising for any offence over a tweet sent after the FA Cup semi-final between Spurs and Manchester United.

A tweet on the official Emirates FA Cup feed showed United defender Chris Smalling replying “Harry Kane” to a mocked-up question which read “Chris, what’s in your pocket?”

The tweet came in the shortly after United’s victory and It was retweeted by thousands of Twitter users and was only removed from the feed on Monday morning.

This is the second time recently that Kane had been put in the social media spotlight having previously been the butt of jokes over claiming a goal that was initially credited to Christian Eriksen during their clash with Stoke City.

What are your thoughts on it, are the Fa right to apologise or was it just a bit of banter that is again being taken out of all proportion.
