Bocanegra Apologises For Tackle

Last updated : 12 February 2004 By Mad Reporter
Bocanegra was shown an automatic red-card for his actions but manager Chris Coleman confirmed that he had apologised to Delaney for the tackle during the second half of the 2-1 defeat at Loftus Road.

"Carlos went and apologised to Mark Delaney so what more can I say to him?" said the Fulham boss.

"He went on to their coach afterwards to shake hands with Mark.

"I went to see him as well and there's no bad feeling. The most important thing is Mark's okay.

"Carlos isn't malicious or a bad boy and plays the game the right way. It was a rush of blood and a badly-mistimed challenge."
