Red-Carded Spence Apologises to Players, Staff and Supporters - Ipswich Town News

Right-back Jordan Spence has apologised to Town’s players, staff and supporters for his red card during tonight’s 4-1 defeat at Fulham.

The 27-year-old was dismissed for clattering into Aboubakar Kamara after the Frenchman had fouled Freddie Sears, a challenge which went unpunished by referee Keith Stroud.

"It does look bad having watched it back but there was no intention to hurt anyone,” he told the club site. "

"It is the first time I have been sent off and anyone that has followed my career knows I’m not that type of player or person. I would never try and hurt a fellow player.""

"I’ve gone at speed to close him down and have gone into him and once you do that, you are at the referee’s call. "

"It has affected the result and I feel terrible about that. We were right in the game until that and all I can do is apologise to the players, the staff and the supporters.”

Spence will be suspended for the next three matches, starting with Saturday’s FA Cup tie against Sheffield United at Portman Road.""
