Wolves boss Mick McCarthy says he accepted an apology from Fulham captain Danny Murphy last season but still feels his comments tarnished the name of the club.
Murphy criticised Wolves for being a 'dirty' club following a match at Craven Cottage last season in which Bobby Zamora sustained a broken leg in a challenge from Karl Henry.
Murphy has since apologised for his words against Wolves, and although McCarthy is ok with it, he feels recent criticism has certainly sullied the Molineux clubs image.
"I have had an apology from Danny Murphy before the last game," McCarthy said ahead of Sunday's clash between the clubs.
"So there is no agenda there. I think he is a good player. I like Danny Murphy, I always have and he apologised for his comments.
"When people say things publicly then I think that apology should be in public as well. But he apologised before the game.
"And I certainly don't think what happened last season was anything to do with Fulham in general. That was fuelled by the Newcastle game here and then poor old Bobby Zamora gets a broken leg.
"As we all know, and it has been well covered, it was a good tackle.
"What I felt a little annoyed about is that a lot of other people ran with that, whether it be other teams, players, coaches, managers, fans, they were using it and it did affect us.
"We had a spell where we didn't put a tackle in because I thought we were scared of getting booked.
"We were wrongly labelled and it was a bit unjust. It was nothing to do with Fulham. It was a general thing that went through the league and people were using it to glean an advantage."
