He has received a three match ban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The defender is  unhappy with his actions, which he feels were 'inappropriate'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking  to the press today, he said, 'An elbow to a Norwich striker is inappropriate.  Rather than indulge in such behaviour, I should have gone for an eye gouge and  kick to the groin. I'm hoping to get to the top of my game. I need to try  harder'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Tamas is 27 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:WordDocument&gt;   &lt;w:View&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;
