Sol Bamba will not face action from the FA despite admitting to deceiving the referee during Cardiff City's win over Brighton on Saturday.

The defender scored a late winner for the Welsh side at the Cardiff City Stadium, and celebrated by removing his shirt - an action that would normally result in a yellow card.

However, referee Martin Atkinson failed to produce the card, instead asking Bamba if he had committed the offence.

Bamba admitted after the match he had denied removing his shirt to avoid punishment, leading to Atkinson restarting play without punishing the Ivorian.

FA rules state yellow cards cannot be given retrospectively, meaning Bamba will not face any disciplinary action.

He could have got one at end game if he said he did take shirt off!

I know you can be booked or even sent off for an incident occurring after the whistle but can you be booked at the end of the game for anything that happened at least five minutes before the final whistle went?

Technically, yes. The referee is in charge from dressing room to dressing room

My belief is that the referee simply missed it (a bit surprising given Sol was half naked for at least 30 seconds) and assuming the question was actually asked, he asked it in just as tongue in cheek way as Sol responded

Sky must be on a slow news day, if they want to make more of it than it is is when only 7 days before they thought a yellow card was somewhat harsh on the Leicester City player on the same ground

The simple difference was that the referee actually saw that one, so had to act!
