Pards was sent to the stands in the second half of Toon’s 2-1
win over Spurs for laying his hands on Burt.
The angry Toon boss had claimed his side was due a throw-in
after Spurs defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto had dragged the ball over
the line.
The Newcastle manager admitted he was stupid but Wembley chiefs
are set to punish him with a ban of at least three matches
following the 57th minute flashpoint.
Pardew went mad at Burt, leaving ref Martin Atkinson with no
option but to send him to the stands.
FA chiefs will examine Atkinson’s report today and Pardew said:
“I’m still embarrassed about what I did. I’ve never done anything
like that before.
“I’ve apologised to him and I can’t really do any more than
that.”
