Swansea's Gorka Pintado (sitting) is shown a red card during the melee

Derby County have been fined £50,000 and Swansea £15,000 for failing to control their players during February's clash at Pride Park.

Both clubs denied the charge, which followed a mass confrontation sparked by Swansea's Gorka Pintado who was sent off for a lunge on Robbie Savage.

Derby's fine was so severe because it was the third time in eight months they had been charged with similar offences.

Half of Swansea's fine is suspended until 31 December 2011.

The Football Association and the Football Association of Wales held a joint independent regulatory commission to discuss the charges because Swansea falls under the FAW's jurisdiction.
