Fulham midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi is furious over his dismissal in yesterday's draw against West Ham.
The South Africa international was sent-off after allegedly hitting West Ham midfielder Scott Parker in the face during their 2-2 draw.
But he told kickoff.com: "Parker hit me with his head and I pushed him away to protect myself. I thought it was a bit unfair when the ref showed yellow cards to both of us, but to my surprise after consulting the referee he showed me red card.
"I was very disappointed with the referee's decision because I thought I didn't deserve the card.
"My coach was also angry at half time because he also felt that the referee was unfair in giving me the red card. However he comforted me and told me that these things happen in football."
