Striker Caleb Folan feels guilty that Hull will have to continue their spirited battle against relegation from the Premier League without him.Folan is set to miss three of Hull's last four fixtures after being sent off in Saturday's battling 3-1 defeat by Liverpool at the KC Stadium.The Republic of Ireland international was given his marching orders just before the hour for kicking out at defender Martin Skrtel as the pair tussled for the ball.Yet Folan was keen to stress he did not mean to kick the Slovakian, although he accepts the consequences for doing so could be costly."I didn't intentionally mean to swing out with my arms or my foot at the player," said the 26-year-old, who had been making his first start since August. "It was kind of in the moment. I did swing the leg but I didn't mean it to kick him. It was more of a frustration thing."It was a great game to come into but I just feel a bit gutted that I have let myself down in getting a red card. Potentially I could be missing some important games now which is a bit of a blow."[LNB]
