Aston Villa defender Micah Richards has been charged with improper conduct after an incident in the tunnel at the end of Saturday's game with Swansea.The tunnel was seen to be shaking as stewards rushed to calm tensions after the Swans' 2-1 Premier League win.The 27-year-old has until 18:00 GMT on Thursday to reply.However, no action will be taken over a clash between Richards and Federico Fernandez.The incident, which happened during the game, was missed by the match officials but captured on video and referred to the three-strong former elite referee panel.It was Villa's sixth straight league defeat and was followed by the sacking of manager Tim Sherwood on Sunday.
if he pleads guilty now and gets a 1 match ban, isn't that tomorrows match?
And no action to be taken on the initial incident.FF must be pissing himself with joy

Fernandez threw his arm across the face of Richards causing Richards to confront him. The fact Fernandez then appeared to headbutt him obviously counts for nothing with the FA. Maybe if Richards had rolled around on the ground in a Robbie Savage bitch style they might have had to act but considering Fernandez didn't even get a yellow card, never mind a red, tells you more about how poor the refereeing level is at the moment.
