Oyston branded Stephen Smith a retard among other things, as the FA released the text messages which caused him to be found guilty

Karl OystonShamed: The messages which Oyston sent have been revealed

The FA have revealed the content of Karl Oyston's offensive text messages which resulted in the Blackpool chairman being banned from the game for six weeks.

Oyston was slapped with a £40,000 fine alongside the ban, after being found guilty of abusing supporter Stephen Smith in an exchange last November.

He will also have to take an education course.

The full details of those comments have now emerged with the FA publishing statements Oyston sent in their written reasons for the charges.



They included..

"Well I am doing pretty well for someone so clueless. You on the other hand clearly haven't a lot of any worth in your life so take to sending retarded texts to people you don't know judging them ...


"... Sorry your life is so s*** but that's only your fault not mine. Enjoy the rest of your special needs day out.

"Are you sure we have met, I would have remembered such a massive retard. Business is great thanks and awash with money ...

"... Impossible to have a meaningful conversation with such a f*ctard as you. The day you ever advise me about anything other than paint colour will not come.

"I do ask for help just not from an intellectual cripple like you. When and if I need it. You are hilariously stupid as your type always are. Done f all, got fall, full of ideas how other people should spend their money. Get real you thick t***."

The texts were sent after Oyston's number had been published on a social media website last season during a time when supporters were becoming increasingly irate at his handling of the Seasiders.

Smith had contacted Oyston first and, during their exchange, he assured him that a group he was a member of would "crush you", accused the Blackpool chairman of being a "financial retard" and made a personal reference to one of his sons.

That provoked Oyston to react with a string of expletive-laden messages which eventually resulted in the FA charges and subsequent ban from the game.

In the findings, it was also revealed that Oyston's ban had been delayed until next month to allow him to devolve power to someone else, allowing the club to run during the transfer window in his absence.

He has got a way with words. But joking aside the Oystons have no place in football and are a despicable family one with a history of rape. I thought general dictator Tan was bad but he has nothing on that horrible lot.

Nukes, The football authorities should run him and his family out of football, I thought we had problems,but they are nothing compared to Blackpools.

Namecalling...whats happened to blokes in this country, carrying on with girlie spats via text.

They'll be wearing ankle socks next..

To be fair why did the Blackpool fan refer to his son?

He sounds a tw*t too.

To be fair, Tan is nowhere near as bad as this guy, Tan had a lot of abuse but handled it well, especially compared to the oystons. They are far worse than Tan

What an absolute c**t.

Same bants as Malky

So in standard media fasion that's one side of the story, what was the fan saying to him?

Mentioned he spoke about his son. Also called him a financial retard,

Deserved to be called a retard.

If the fan has sent an abusive text first then I don't really see what's wrong, especially if the text spoke about his son.

Is the fan actually disabled? If so then forget that first sentence.

He has completely run Blackpool into the ground, and good enough for them after the way they behaved after the final whistle at Wembley
