The FA To Investigate.....................

<p class="big">The Football Association has confirmed there will be an investigation into the incidents that followed Barnsley's 1-0 victory over Birmingham on Easter Monday.</p>

Friction between Birmingham's on-loan striker Nicklas Bendtner and Barnsley centre-back Antony Kay led to a brawl involving several players from both sides after the final whistle at Oakwell.</p>

Referee Mike Russell dismissed Barnsley's Bobby Hassell and Birmingham substitute Neil Danns for violent conduct, which could lead to three-match bans, but the investigation opens up the possibility of further punishment for the sides.</p>

&quot;The incident was reported by the referee and we are making further inquiries,&quot; said a Football Association spokesman.</p>

&quot;We will be looking at footage of the incident.&quot;</p>

Birmingham boss Steve Bruce admitted he was 'disappointed' with events.</p>

&quot;We'll have to wait for the referee's report and review things when we've had a good look at the whole incident.</p>

&quot;Obviously there can be frustration on both sides in a highly-charged game and I'm disappointed with the reaction from some.&quot;</p>
