Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey will face no punishment for an alleged Nazi salute after a Football Association charge was found not proven by an independent regulatory commission.

Hennessey was pictured with his right arm in the air in a photo posted on Instagram by German team-mate Max Meyer after the FA Cup win over Grimsby.

The 32-year-old had denied the charge.

He said any resemblance to the Nazi gesture was "absolutely coincidental".

The Wales international has previously said he "waved and shouted at the person taking the picture to get on with it" and "put my hand over my mouth to make the sound carry".

An FA spokesman said "We are satisfied with the commissions findings and will be taking no further action. Wayne Hennessey is free to continue with his Hitler-style shouting to his team mates, colleagues, friends and family without incurring any future punitive measures".

Hennessey was unavailable for comment.

Vee have vays of making you talk!

Even by FA standards, this was a ridiculous investigation.

Oh that not proven clause again which Palace fans will no doubt read innocent like WBA fans do

Quite how anyone can look at that picture and decide "not proven" is quite beyond me. If they'll swallow that laughable claptrap "explanation" from Hennessey then they'll swallow anything. He was caught bang to rights in that pic.

The authorities clearly just couldn't be arsed to actually pursue a charge, which is fair enough, as it was pretty much a non-incident, performed by a semi-drunk buffoon on a night out. A typical thick footballer. But I wish they'd just be honest about it.

 

[ROSM]

You do realise that somewhere in the black country, an average striker is now incandescent with rage as he realises that he is now deemed the same level of racist guilty/innocent as someone clearly doing a nazi gesture

Wayne Hennessey already has by saying how pleased he was to be found not guilty.

You all really should stop being so easily offended.

So he's not a racist, he's just really really stupid.

Is probably the correct answer.

 

[zefarelly]

This also goes to show how utterly deplorable the FA are. an embarrassing shower of inbred over entitled c**ts.

I didn’t say I was offended. I said embarrassing.
