In a move that may produce some heated reaction, the Football Association of Wales have decided to take no action against Cardiff City following the Mike Dean coin-throwing incident that marred a live Sky tv howitzer of a derby versus Swansea City. The incident was magnified and blown out of proportion by being beamed nationwide but is no action at all appropriate???
“We have had full and written confirmation from the FAW there will be no further action,” said Bluebirds chairman Peter Ridsdale, probably relieved and clearly happy at that outcome after the FAW acknowledged City took all possible steps they could reasonably take to ensure that type of incident did not occur.
Swansea will have a moan - they can't stop themselves, can they? - but they had no action or investigation into the naughtiness at their place this season which I would argue was worse when Cardiff went there.
The club acted immediately and banned the thrower for life and saw him convicted and are still working to do the same with others - I'm not even sure Swansea took any action against their pitch invaders for example.
However a ref was still injured, it was an ugly incident and overshadowed a fantastic game. Think there could have been a suspended fine or warning - in line with what happened to Newport a couple of years ago. It's as if the FAW have lost sight of that.
