SHELVEY IN TROUBLE FOR 'SWIMMING AWAY'

FA to consider Jonjo Shelvey punishment in next 48 hours after South Wales derby 'swim away' gesture to Cardiff City fans

The Swansea midfielder could face sanctions from the authorities after making a 'swim away' gesture to Cardiff fans

Swansea City star Jonjo Shelvey will discover in the next 48 hours if and how he will be punished for his controversial 'swim away' gesture to Cardiff City fans following yesterday's South wales derby.

FA chiefs will discuss the matter in the next two days after Shelvey's actions were caught on television cameras as he passed a group of Cardiff fans just minutes after the 1-0 defeat.

The gesture is a reference an incident which took place in 1988 where Cardiff fans allegedly retreated into the sea after the two sets of supporters clashed.

Shelvey's actions capped a dismal day for the former Liverpool FC man who was at fault for Cardiff's winner as he left the post he was supposed to be covering at Cardiff's corner.

There had been concerns over potential trouble betweens fans at Sunday's game, but South Wales Police tweeted on Sunday evening that no arrests had been made at the ground.

The tweet read: "No arrests at the Cardiff City Stadium today. Great to see both sets of fans being passionate & well-behaved".

Thought it was funny TBH and just showed how p***ed off he must have been feeling inside after the game ended (just in case anyone missed it ) in a comfortable...

1-0 to Cardiff City FC (Capital and No.1 team in Wales)

Footballs to soft these days.. So what if he did it.. fans give players shit through games and players should be allowed to have a go back its all fun and banter..

Do you think him doing a swimming impression was anything to do with him being Duncan goodhew's love child!!!

SCFC should be punished. Every time a new player signs from them he's incouraged to do the swim away which glorifys hooliganism.

I personally don't care that he did it, just goes to show what length he will go to, to endear himself to the Jacks cos it sure ain't for his football skills

I agree. Players doing the lip to mouth after scoring etc is fair enough,but the swim away has nothing to do with football
If wed have lost this would of caused uproar

Couldn't give a toss

Bit like Trundle and Tate with that flag. Shelvey just looks a bit silly this morning. Who cares? We're Cardiff City, we can take it. Just move on.

dont forget the Fk off cardiff banner they did which was pathetic aswell.'' when they got promoted with trundle...
it had nothing to do with us and they publicised imature gestures towards our club...

its the type of thing you would expect from 15 year old one parented kids. Disgraceful stupid cliub

massive over reaction in my opinion i thought it was because the ugly tw*t was indicating he was out of his depth all afternoon

Just leave him be but when he ends up with some lunatic throwing a coin at him and possibly blinding him in a future derby game he'll only have himself to blame for incitement. If you play with fire then its your own fault when you get burnt to be honest.

To me it was just a desperate attempt to win over the Swansea fans because he knew he was to blame for the goal!!... Made himself look like a bit of a prick to be honest!!... Even the jacks can't stand the ugly fucker!! ha ha... Complete bonehead!!

Voldermort is feeling very much the prick that he is. Crapajackaramus.

Voldermort looked like a mental patient doing the front crawl quite funny really, what an idiot.

his bad defending cost them the game, just made him feel better inside, all we can do is laugh at him

Well he made me a little bit of money......

Got my picture published in the Daily Mail

The sad thing is that Swansea fans loved Tate after defacing the Welsh flag.

The fact he done it yet they never won is quite strange.

should get a fifteen game ban.....Just for his face

He should be charged with bringing the game into disrepute for impersonating a premier league midfielder

Good point

If his swimming is anything like his football skills he'll feckin drown

If he gets charged for this it'll prove how far down the pan the game has gone.

I agree. fans give it out players should be allowed to get involved with banter.. paddy kenny gives it back and freestone loved it. Twice over the years freestone called me a bald c**t during a game

Total tosser with a close resemblance to Gollum from Lord of the Rings and totally devoid of any attributes of a professional footballer personally I just laughed at his swim away antics because it was us celebrating an ever so sweet victory
