Swansea face FAW rap over insults

Swansea face FAW rap over insults


Swansea are being investigated by the Football Association of Wales and the police for taunting Cardiff City after Sunday's Football League Trophy win.

Lee Trundle, captain Roberto Martinez and Alan Tate brandished a flag bearing graphic insults aimed at Cardiff.

Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins has apologised for the players' actions but the FAW may take disciplinary action.

"I'll complete the investigation and decide what action, if any, should be taken," said the FAW's David Collins.

Secretary general Collins was at the game, but said he did not see the offending material.

He is awaiting reports from the match referee and the police, and hopes to complete the investigation on Tuesday.

Trundle, 29, struck a spectacular opening goal in the 2-1 win over Carlisle at the Millennium Stadium.

But he and his team-mates could now face a fine from the club and a possible ban from the FAW after being photographed brandishing insults towards Cardiff City.

South Wales Police are also investigating the incident, with superintendent Bob Evans saying he took a "dim view of what happened".

Swansea chairman Jenkins said Trundle's actions were inexcusable and believed it "could be something that Lee lives to regret".

Jenkins added: "It's certainly something I can't defend. We regret any offence that occurred.

"Maybe it was a heat-of-the-moment thing. Lee will probably wish that this hadn't happened. I just hope that it doesn't cause any animosity between the two sets of fans.

"I'll be taking this seriously, we'll have to deal with it."

The Football League also condemned the actions of the Swansea players.

"We absolutely deplore these actions," said Football League head of communications John Nagle.

"One would hope that it was just over-exuberance on the part of the players, after winning the Football League Trophy. However, that is still little excuse.

"League clubs are working hard to encourage more families and more young supporters to matches and it is important that players recognise their wider responsibility to the game when they are in these situations."

Later on Monday, Swansea placed a statement on the club's official website saying Trundle and Tate wished to apologise to those offended by their actions and stressed there was "no malice intended".

The flag had "F*CK OFF CARDIFF" on it, there is a few pics of it on the Getty Images editorial site. It was Alan Tate who brought the flag on the pitch but Fee Bundle, being the tw*t that he is, is getting the press for it, particularly as he also had a t-shirt of a Swansea player p*ssing on a Cardiff shirt.

Anyway just put a bit of history in a short sentence so that you understand what the pollaver is about, Swansea City and Cardiff City have been fierce rivals for many years, and both clubs have got a notorious hardcore element amongst their supporters who hate each others guts. Whenever the two sides faced each other in league games they were always fighting each other, but the situation has worsened over the years to the point where they'd go to each other's matches, regardless of who they were playing, just to cause trouble. Even worse is that they also pick fights at Welsh international matches and Swansea fans have been parading Union Carlos and NI flags, singing sectarian chants and even chanting against their own country just because of Cardiff fans in the Welsh support.

Apparently the two teams have tried to work together to stop all the fights but this incident will do nothing to calm the situation down, all it does is incite further violence.

Anyway the police have launched an official investigation and the FAW have already stated that the flag and Fee Bundle's t-shirt were of "an extremely offensive and insulting nature" and that the behaviour of the players was totally unacceptable. They will deal with the disciplinary procedure once the investigation is finished but no doubt Swansea City FC will be charged with misconduct and the players themselves will get fined and banned.

I hope Fee Bundle gets the book thrown at him for being such a tw*t. Or better still, let the Cardiff Soul Crew deal with him how they see fit. :ewan:

There's just no justifying that sort of thing. Ban the players for quite a while and take away the trophy. Harsh, but it'll teach the lesson.

I'd better correct you there matey, he is actually ENGLISH, he was born in Liverpool. Then again having spent 3 years at the Carlos scum he's now probably a seasoned sheep shagger amongst the caravanning gyppo's down there. :ewan: :ewan: :ewan:

Anyway I saw something on a Cardiff fans' forum (tbh their fans are no angels, Soul Crew anyone?) and it was pointed out that a few years ago the FAW fined some player and banned him for 6 games in a Welsh Premier League match for taking a flag of the opposition (who happened to be their local rivals) and mocked wiping his arse with it. So surely Fee Bundle and his cronies should get a bigger punishment for brandishing a defaced Draig Goch with the F-word on it. :kader:

Why is it the FAW tho? I thought both teams were in the English system, or are they both?

Swansea City are a Welsh club and are members of the FAW, therefore all punishments are dealt with by the FAW as it falls under their jurisdiction, even though they play in the English league. Same applies to the other Welsh exiled clubs in the English league system.

PMSL Fee Bundle and Alan Tate got arrested today for "public disorder offences" by the South Wales Police, the pair of rimjobs have been bailed until the end of the month. On top of that the FAW have given the club 10 days to respond to charges of bringing the game into disrepute.

Give them a lengthy ban and a big fine, that's the way :ewan: :ewan: :ewan: :ewan: :ewan:
