Wigan Athletic midfielder Lee McCulloch has been charged with
violent conduct by the FA, following his weekend clash with
Sheffield United's Chris Morgan.
Morgan ended the Blades' 1-0 victory with a badly swollen right
eye, but confirmed that McCulloch had apologised straight after the
final whistle.
However, with referee Peter Walton having not seen the incident,
the FA have decided to act on video evidence.
Morgan himself had wanted a line drawn under the clash, saying
after the game: "Lee was man enough to come and knock on the door,
put his arm round me and apologise.
"To be man enough to say sorry, that's enough for me. That's it.
It's finished. Let's get on with it.
"I'm sure things will be made of it because from what I can gather
it doesn't look too good on the television, but he's said
sorry.
"I'll accept that, not a problem. I don't see the point bleating
about it."
