The Black Country side have been criticised in some quarters for their approach this season, with Fulham captain Danny Murphy naming Wolves among a trio of clubs whose managers, he claimed, sent their players out too pumped up.
However, they were on the receiving end as Arsene Wenger and Fabregas apologised for the Spain midfielder's tackle on Edwards during Arsenal's 2-0 win at Molineux.
McCarthy felt the apology brought an end to the matter and would not join the chorus calling for a crackdown on tough tackling.
He said: "Fabregas has gone for the ball. It is one of those when two blokes are running at full tilt and you slide in and he has got a cut on his leg. Fabregas has been in to apologise and Wardy has accepted it like a man and I wish everyone would stop whingeing about tackling and complaining. It wasn't a bad tackle. I've no problem with it at all. It happens.
"What I can't do with is everyone bitching at my players and my team when we tackle. Just stop whingeing and accept it. Fabregas has been in and Wardy has accepted it and isn't it lovely? I said to Arsene I've no problem with the tackle and I really appreciate the apology."
