Scott sorry for actions

West Brom skipper Scott Carson has apologised to fans and team-mates following his sending off against Cardiff on Tuesday.

Carson will serve a three-match ban for headbutting Michael Chopra following his late challenge towards the end of the home defeat to Cardiff.

Carson, whose place will now be taken by Dean Kiely, has now delivered a full apology for his actions, he told the Birmingham Mail: "I'm captain of the team, a role I take very seriously, and I shouldn't have reacted in the way I did.

"It was a really frustrating night and that came to the fore with my red card.

"A cross came over and I got caught by their player, who got nowhere near the ball.

"I should have just let it go and I'm disappointed in myself for getting involved.

"Having said that, I believe I was provoked and am disappointed in the way a fellow professional reacted.

"But I apologise to the players, the supporters and everyone connected with the club for the fact I was sent off and left us a man short.
