Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli will face no further disciplinary action following his challenge on Arsenal's Alex Song, the FA has confirmed.

Balotelli was guilty of a dangerous lunge on the Gunners midfielder during the first half of City's 1-0 defeat at the Emirates on Sunday, which went unpunished at the time.

The Italian, who was sent off for a second bookable offence in the dying minutes of the match, will face no further punishment as the incident with Song was witnessed by the match officials.

A statement on the FA's wesbite read: "Retrospective action in relation to the incident involving Mario Balotelli of Manchester City and Alex Song of Arsenal, which occurred in the 20th minute of Sunday’s game, will not be taken.

"Where at least one of the officials has seen the coming together of players retrospective action is not taken, regardless of whether they have seen the full extent of the challenge.

"Retrospective action can only be taken in scenarios where none of the Match Officials saw the players coming together. The normal scenarios in which retrospective action is taken are for 'off the ball’ incidents.

"Retrospective action was introduced for off the ball incidents where there was no contest for possession and could not be deemed to be re-refereeing an incident.

"In agreement with FIFA, this is how 'not seen’ incidents are dealt with retrospectively in England. It is a policy that is agreed with all football stakeholders."

Balotelli could have faced a nine-match ban had the FA ruled against him for the challenge on Song.

A charge of violent conduct, combined with punishments accrued earlier in the season and his ensuing red card at the Emirates, would have seen the 21-year-old miss out on the remainder of the campaign and beyond.

With manager Roberto Mancini suggesting after the match that Balotelli could be sold over the

Balotelli is already facing a three-game ban following his late dismissal in the clash at the Emirates.

The automatic one-match suspension has been increased to three due to his sending off against Liverpool earlier in the season, and the post-match punishment levied against him for stamping on Tottenham's Scott Parker in City's 3-2 win over Spurs at the Etihad.

I've never really understood that. Having lived through and played on 9/11 doing the same on the Hillsborough date doesn't seem disrespectful to me. I understand people do this big memorial thing, but footie could easily be a part of it.

You're the wisest Liverpool fan I ever seen.

It seems to me playing the match is just another way to honor those that died.

Anywho, there have been some terrible penalties given in the Prem as of late. FA won't sort it out.

Exactly! Maybe the team can play in a special shirt, have special scarfs and make it an event that no one shall forget, a perfect day to honour the lost.

Yeah, not only penalties, but also decisions, look at Chelsea's last two games, they should've lost against Fulham and drew with Wigan, but they got two wrong goals for their favour.
But this penalty is different, Derry doesn't deserve a red card, it was not even a penalty.

Another proof that the FA is a joke, Balotelli is not going to get any punishment, while the likes of Rooney get banned for swearing in front of the camera.

He's suspended for three games. According to FA rules since one of the officials saw the challenge and decided not to do anything about it, they cannot step in and give him a retroactive red card for it. It makes sense and I'm actually rather relieved they have such a rule. Otherwise it could be madness with the FA constantly deciding cards in the days after a match when the match official had already decided one was not needed.

Ivanovic is being charged with violent conduct for punching a Wigan player on the weekend. How do you explain that?

The match officials didn't see it, I assume.

2 goals in 3 minutes for Maxi. With a midfield trio of Spearing, Shelvey, and Henderson.

My point was that they (FA) can do something about it.

Insane to think that, but the stats are compelling.

In the 11 games Gerrard has started, Liverpool have scored an average of 1.00 goal per game while conceding 1.36; without him it is goals for 1.24, goals against 0.90. They have taken 1.67 points per game without him, just 0.73 with. Project that over a season: without Gerrard, Liverpool would get 63 points, which last season would have seen them finish fifth; with Gerrard, they would get 28, certain relegation form.

Those stats mean practically nothing. And the "conclusions" are even more ridiculous.

Also, Agger got injured a few matches after Gerrard came back. That probably has more to do with the GAA going up.

No, they can't:

An FA statement read: 'Retrospective action in relation to the incident involving Mario Balotelli of Manchester City and Alex Song of Arsenal, which occurred in the 20th minute of Sunday's game, will not be taken.

'Where at least one of the officials has seen the coming together of players retrospective action is not taken, regardless of whether they have seen the full extent of the challenge. Retrospective action can only be taken in scenarios where none of the match officials saw the players coming together.

'The normal scenarios in which retrospective action is taken are for "off-the-ball" incidents. Retrospective action was introduced for off-the-ball incidents where there was no contest for possession and could not be deemed to be re-refereeing an incident.

In agreement with FIFA, this is how 'not seen' incidents are dealt with retrospectively in England. It is a policy that is agreed with all football stakeholders.'

I guess that makes sense.

What a match. Doni gets a red card for giving away a penalty, Jones comes in and saves it. Bellamy almost scores.
