Mick McCarthy has said that he has accepted Danny Murphy's apology after criticising Wolves' style of play last season. Last season Murphy criticised Wolves' style of play after Fulham teammate Bobby Zamora suffered a broken leg following a Karl Henry tackle.His words implied that the Midands club were overly physical in order to get results and McCarthy felt this was labelling them as aggressive. The former Liverpool and Spurs midfielder has now admitted he was wrong, but, despite accepting, the former Republic of Ireland boss still insists that it was wrong of him to give them their aggressive tag.McCarthy said: "I have had an apology from Danny Murphy before the last game."So there is no agenda there. I think he is a good player. I like Danny Murphy, I always have and he apologised for his comments."When people say things publicly then I think that apology should be in public as well. But he apologised before the game."And I certainly don't think what happened last season was anything to do with Fulham in general. That was fuelled by the Newcastle game here and then poor old Bobby Zamora gets a broken leg."As we all know, and it has been well covered, it was a good tackle."What I felt a little annoyed about is that a lot of other people ran with that, whether it be other teams, players, coaches, managers, fans, they were using it and it did affect us."We had a spell where we didn't put a tackle in because I thought we were scared of getting booked."We were wrongly labelled and it was a bit unjust. It was nothing to do with Fulham. It was a general thing that went through the league and people were using it to glean an advantage."
