Both the FA and the FAW have been quick to levy charges against the Swans for the handbag bashing that erupted during the second half of the 0-0 draw at the Liberty.
Three yellow cards were produced after the incident which highlights the severity of it although it was pretty inevitable that the associations would ask both clubs to answer for their actions.
A statement on the FAW website read "The Football Association of Wales has charged Swansea City FC with the Disciplinary Offence as set out under FAW Rule 24.2.12, for the alleged failure of its players to conduct themselves in an orderly fashion in their Football League Championship match, Swansea City FC v Reading FC played on 18th August 2009."
While the English FA statement read "The FA has charged Reading FC for failing to control their players."Reading FC have been charged following an incident of mass confrontation in their recent match against Swansea City FC at the Liberty Stadium on 18 August 2009.
"The charge relates to a breach of FA Rule E20 (a) for failing to control their players.
"The club has until 8 September 2009 to respond to the charge.
"Please note that Swansea City FC are under the jurisdiction of the Football Association of Wales and not The FA."
