Cole gets away without a ban because he said sorry. Fuck me it wasn't calling the FA the bunch of twats that was the bad thing (disrespectful but painfully true), it was that he was adjudged by a senior barrister, a solicitor/ex-player and a local FA member to have lied to cover up racism and responded with typical arrogance and non-repentance.
