Cardiff punishment

[Snowball]

Are we ever going to find out what he actually did?

Keeping in mind that Craig Bellamy has no morals, no boundaries, he will stop at nothing, there probably is no limit in regards to what he potentially could have done. Anything from throwing a punch to a full rectal fist insertion or biting someone's scrotum.
He's an animal. End of.

Shame he doesn't play for us then

[TFF]

What time do we hear something then?

[Svlad Cjelli]

By the end of the afternoon.

[Snowball]

WHICH ONE?

[Svlad Cjelli]

Today!

[TFF]

Colours to the mast Dirkers - your predictions?

[Snowball]

They may make Bellamy live in Newport for a week. If they do, I suspect he'll appeal.

[TFF]

I'm going for a "warning as to his future conduct" and a small fine for the club

I think it depends whether the majority on the panel support Cardiff or Swansea.

[roadrunner]

Not expecting much from today. Just enjoying watching them implode as they always do at the end of the season.

Cardiff are normally dealt with leniently, Swansea harshly.

[URZZZZZZZZ]

It will be a fine, and no ban for Bellamy. There's no way those backward, sheep shagging bastards will hinder their hopes of getting one of their teams in the Premiership.

I'm happy to bet whatever sum of money you like that Bellamy will get a ban.

I think he will get fined and a 3 match ban

[Svlad Cjelli]

The relevant section from the FAW Discipline Handbook says :

15. The decision of the Disciplinary Panel will be announced either at the hearing or notified to the parties in writing within the next 10 days (or in cases of Assault, written notification will be sent to all parties within three days). In any event, the decision of the Disciplinary Panel will be confirmed in writing and, if appropriate, will advise the Defendant of his or her right to appeal.

I'd be amazed if the result doesn't come out by the end of today, but it may not according to this.

I don't even know what he did.

[Elmer Park]

Bellamy is not the most loveable of people but not having seen the incident and given that it was apparently completely different to the Ledge one I will find it hard to comment on the FAW decision even though they are notorious for leniency towards Cardiff.

I will be waiting with more interest on the decision on the failure to control players charge where Reading and Cardiff were guilty of pretty much identical behaviour. Will have to take into account of course that part of our punishment was down to a suspended fine from a previous charge.

This thread really takes obsession to another level.

Yes, of course, it doesn't.

[Z175]

In Reading's case, they admitted the first charge of failure to control their players and were fined £25,000 and "warned as to their future conduct."

The club denied the second charge but an independent regulatory commission found the charge proven and fined Reading a further £10,000.

They were also ordered to pay a £5,000 fine suspended from a previous hearing, which was to be invoked if the Royals committed a similar breach before the end of next season.

This makes more sense now as £25,000 seems more appropriate.

I wonder what the second charge was though? We need better lawyers!
And can anyone remember the previous breach?
