Craig Bellamy (Welsh footballer) will be facing a suspension for around three football matches because the Football Association has filed a charge of violent conduct against the Cardiff Forward.

The violent conduct took place in a match of the Premier League that was held on the 8th of February, 2014. The match was between Cardiff City and Swansea City. Craig Bellamy actually clashed with Jonathan De Guzman during the 2nd half of the football match. The Football Association confirmed on 9th of February, 2014 that the violent incident did occur and the association was aware of it.

Andre Marriner (referee of the match) did not see Bellamy punching De Guzman. However, FA (Football Association) set up a three member disciplinary panel to investigate the incident. Through the investigation it was noticed that the violent conduct displayed by Bellamy was captured in a video though no match officials had witnessed it.

Though the performance of Cardiff City was not that impressive, Craig Bellamy was playing pretty well during the match against Swansea. But his bad conduct just spoiled an amazing performance. Cardiff City lost the match against Swansea City.

Bellamy is planning to retire after this season. But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (manager of Cardiff City) is trying his best to convince Bellamy to continue playing because he is fit enough to play football even though he is thirty-four years old.
Another violent incident took place on the same day (8th February, 2014) in a match between Manchester United and Norwich City. Yaya Toure (Manchester United) had kicked Ricky Van Wolfswinkel (Norwich City). However, the panel which charged and banned Craig Bellamy for violent conduct could not take a unanimous decision against Yaya Toure.

Although, Van Wolfswinkel wanted FA to take a strict action against Toure, the Manchester United player was able to walk away without getting punished.
