Cardiff City seek fan accused of racist gesture towards Lincoln City captain Tendayi Darikwa


Lincoln won the game at Cardiff City Stadium 2-0 to overtake the Bluebirds at the top of League One.

However, the game was halted for four minutes after the opening goal, with referee Tom Reeves speaking to both dugouts.

In his post-game interview Skubala told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: “There were allegations of a supporter making racist comments to Tendayi Darikwa.

“We have to follow the due processes.

“The referee did everything right, he went straight to Tendayi and then spoke to us. Tendayi was happy to carry on, but now it goes up higher.

“There is no place at all for it in the game – from fans, players or anyone.

“Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it. The referee was very professional, did the right job and hopefully we can sort this out.”

When asked after the game about the incident, Cardiff head coach Brian Barry-Murphy said: “The referee said there was an incident involving the supporters and the captain of Lincoln when they scored.

“They said it would be dealt with after the game.”

The referee will also have submitted his end-of-game report to the Football Association, who will then determine if there is any further action to be taken.

This latest incident comes a month after the Football Association charged Cardiff City after the club’s fans allegedly aimed homophobic chants at Chelsea.

Cardiff, who say they await further dialogue with the Football Association over the incident have also revealed there was a further report of anti-social behaviour in which an object was thrown at the Lincoln City goalkeeper during Saturday’s match.
