Sorry Barton accepts ban

Joey Barton has accepted a Football Association charge of violent conduct and issued an apology for his actions against Blackburn.
The Newcastle midfielder appeared to punch Morten Gamst Pedersen in the chest during his side's 2-1 defeat at home to Rovers on Wednesday night.
He escaped any punishment at the time as the incident occurred behind the back of referee Mike Jones.
The Football Association was therefore allowed to review video footage and handed out a charge to Barton earlier on Thursday.
The 28-year-old was given more than 24 hours to respond but has come forward quickly to confirm that he will not be lodging an appeal.
Barton must therefore serve a three-match suspension, ruling him out of Newcastle's Premier League games against Fulham, Bolton and Chelsea.
He has said sorry for the way he reacted, admitting that he had been unable to control his aggression for the first time this season.
"I fully accept that I was in the wrong on this occasion and accept the charge that the FA have brought against me," said Barton.
"I would like to apologise to Chris Hughton, my team-mates, our supporters and of course to Morten Gamst Pedersen and Blackburn Rovers.
"This season, I have really been enjoying my football and although I have been on the receiving end of a few robust challenges, I have, up until now, remained calm in the face of provocation and just carried on with the game.
"But I hold my hands up, I reacted badly to the situation on Wednesday night and I deeply regret it.
"I have been working very hard to keep that side of my game under control and I think it has showed in the way I have been able to get on and enjoy my football this season.
"I look forward to trying to get back into the team once my suspension is over and helping the club maintain its good start to the season."
Hughton added that it was a blow to lose Barton but admitted there could be no argument with the charge.
"We accept the action taken by the FA, and it is of course disappointing to lose Joey for three games," said the manager.
"He has worked so hard on his game this season, but he knows that he can't react the way he did on Wednesday."
