Bradford City duo Stuart McCall and Andy Myers will not face trial by video over their bust-up at Leeds because there are no TV pictures of the incident.

The fuming team-mates had to be kept apart by other players as a heated argument got out of hand in the City penalty area in yesterday's 6-1 derby drubbing. McCall had a deep cut below his left eye which needed stitches, although he later claimed that was caused by an elbow in a challenge.

Referee Andy D'Urso did not see what happened and after checking with the nearby linesman, who also missed the flashpoint right on half-time, decided against taking any action.

And unless the official mentions it in his match report, the FA will not order a probe as Sky Sports have no film of the off-the-ball clash.

Myers was determined to play it down afterwards and said: "It was nothing and we are still the best of mates.

"We didn't want to sour the season, it was a big game and we didn't do ourselves any justice. There was a lot of pride at stake and we were just frustrated."

Both players appeared again for the second half and boss Jim Jefferies said the club would not be taking the matter further.

"They know it shouldn't have happened but there were reasons for it," he said. "We weren't doing things right and maybe the frustration boiled over. The passion got a bit out of hand.

"It wasn't down to one or two players causing problems, it was an accumulation that defensively we weren't good as a team. The first half was a nightmare.

"I saw the pushing and shoving and there was some close contact with heads pushing back and forward. There were a few heated words but we sorted it out at half-time and there isn't a problem - there certainly isn't going to be any club action."

City's problems had begun before kick-off when goalkeeper Gary Walsh broke down in the warm-up and joined stopper Robert Molenaar on the sidelines.

Jefferies said: "We defended so badly in the first half that if we had gone on the way we were we could have let in double figures. Some of the goals we let in were a nightmare.

"In terms of going forward we passed the ball well and their keeper made some good saves. But we were always up against it at the back.

"At least we regrouped for the second half and looked much better as a team and played with a bit of pride. But the first half had done all the damage.

"But against quality teams like Leeds you have to be at your strongest and to lose Gary Walsh that late was a huge blow.

"He had been doubtful all week with his knee and although he trained on it all right on Saturday, he just felt it return as he practised his kicking."
