"Referee Mike Riley has informed the FA that, while he did not see the incident himself, it was seen by his assistant Mo Matadar. No action was taken against Bosingwa by the officials.

"Under the FIFA Laws of the Game, the FA is prohibited from taking disciplinary action when incidents are seen at the time by the match officials."

This whole thing is crazy. This will be one of those games that will be talked about for years to come.

Just saw the slo-mo and lampard gets the ball first. Terrible.
