Steve Bruce accepts Alan Pardew's apology for headbutting David Meyler

By , Staff Reporter
Hull City manager Steve Bruce reveals that he has accepted Alan Pardew's apology for headbutting midfielder David Meyler.

Hull City manager Steve Bruce has revealed that he has accepted an apology from Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew regarding the headbutting incident at the KC Stadium two weeks ago.

The Magpies manager has been banned for seven matches after the Football Association charged him for headbutting David Meyler during Newcastle's 4-1 win over the Tigers.

"As far as we're concerned we accept his apology," BBC Sport quotes Bruce as saying. "All of us in the heat of the moment could look back at times and think, 'what the hell have I done that for?"

Pardew has been ordered to stay away from stadia for three matches, while he will be absent from the touchline for a further four fixtures.
