Trundle and Tate's post-match celebrations caused outrage
|
Swansea's Lee Trundle and Alan Tate have been handed one-match suspensions by the Football Association of Wales.
The pair brandished a flag bearing anti-Cardiff City obscenities after the Swans' 2-1 win over Carlisle at the Football League Trophy final in April.
The pair had already received police cautions for public order offences, and have now also been fined a week's wages and warned as to their future conduct.
The club were also fined £2,000 by the FAW disciplinary panel on Monday.
Striker Trundle, 29, and defender Tate, 23, are set to miss Swansea's opening game of the new League One season - at home to Cheltenham at the Liberty Stadium on 5 August.
A previous statement from the FAW said the images paraded at the match, which took place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on 2 April, were "of an extremely offensive and insulting nature and such behaviour is totally unacceptable".
As well as carrying the flag, Trundle was also seen wearing a T-shirt with an image of a Swansea player urinating on a Cardiff shirt.
