Cardiff's Bothroyd fortunate to escape ban
Cardiff City’s Jay Bothroyd has escaped a three-match ban from the Football Association of Wales following his horror tackle on Luciano Becchio.
It had been feared hot-shot Bothroyd would miss the clashes against Norwich, Reading and south Wales rivals Swansea City after referee Michael Oliver failed to punish him for the studs-up challenge on Becchio during Monday’s 4-0 win at Leeds United.
Television cameras picked up on the first-half incident and, although the FAW, studied the footage, they claim Oliver saw the clash so have decided to take no further disciplinary action.
An FAW statement read: “The Football Association of Wales has reviewed the footage of the Jay Bothroyd tackle on Luciano Becchio during the Championship game between Leeds United and Cardiff City.

News - FAW Statement - Jay BothroydPosted: 27 October 2010
The Football Association of Wales has reviewed the footage of the Jay Bothroyd tackle on Luciano Becchio during the Npower Football League Championship game, Leeds United v Cardiff City, played on 25th October 2010.
Retrospective action can only be taken where an incident has not been seen by the match officials. If the match officials have seen an incident such as the coming together of two players in a challenge then it is not possible to intervene retrospectively.
FIFA's clear stance is that incidents seen at the time should not be "re-refereed" – even where it is perceived by others that match officials have made an incorrect judgement of an incident.
As the result of relevant consultations the Football Association of Wales has decided not to take any further action against Jay Bothroyd.
