Great signing for the Saints but Doncaster's relegation battle is going to be much harder without him.

Plymouth Argyle are looking into an allegation that a Southend player was racially abused in the League Two match between the sides on Saturday.

Argyle drew 2-2 with the Essex side, who say they will co-operate fully in any investigation Plymouth carry out.

A club statement said: "We have received a number of complaints relating to crowd behaviour during Saturday's game.

"We are currently conducting a thorough investigation into these complaints."

Argyle say they will issue a full statement once the investigation has concluded.

In a statement the Plymouth Argyle Fans' Trust says it has also been made aware of the allegations.

"The Argyle Fans' Trust is aware of a small number of incidents this season involving unacceptable and often aggressive chanting or comments.

"That includes comments many would understand to be racist or homophobic in tone.


"On Saturday an incident involving abuse coming from a supporter towards the Barn Park end of the Lyndhurst stand was reported to the police by a Trust member.

"Our message to any so-called fans who cannot put aside their own bigotry for 90 minutes is simple: you are not welcome at Home Park.

"The Fans' Trust will be approaching the club to ensure that a robust system is in place for reporting such behaviour, but in the meantime we would urge any other fans who witness it to report it, in confidence, to the club or the Trust."

After the game Argyle boss Carl Fletcher praised the passionate support of the fans as Argyle came back from 2-0 down to salvage a point.

Plymouth Argyle president Chris Webb founded the Forza Verde 1886 organisation, a group of fans aiming at reigniting the atmosphere and passion at Home Park, after the club almost went out of business last year.

"We aim to support the team, bring back 'fortress Home Park' and bring a vibrancy and noise that has been lacking for too long," Webb said.

"At no time have or will Forza Verde support any anti-social, racist, homophobic or aggressive behaviour.

"Such behaviour is not welcome and has no place at Home Park or in wider society.

"My beliefs and values are such that it makes me sick to the pit of my stomach to imagine anyone being discriminated against for any reason."

There was a bit of a discussion on this on our own forum. Sad sad news if this is true, I hope the club deal with it swiftly. Racists have no place in any football club.
 
I just want this season over with so we can get back to the nitty gritty :P
 
Decent point, wasn't a spectacular performance from either team, a draw a deserved result. Should of had a penalty in the final minute though.. Also, a strange decision to leave Walton on the bench.
 
Got searched before Shrewsbury and had all 4 packets of Weetabix taken off of me. Apparently the stewards had taken loads of it.

Didn't stop me getting covered in the stuff during the game!

So the fans lose their club and all its history because of a ***** owner? I'm sure if this was your club, you wouldn't be hoping they'd go out of business. Show some respect to the fans of the club, they don't deserve this.
 
Once again a lot of people are missing the bigger picture. To lose a club like Portsmouth would devestate the City, and a lot of innocent people will suffer. This is down to the FA's "fit and proper test" once again being a load of hot air and as much use as a chocolate fireguard, and mis-management of the club. It has nothing at all to do with the players, the fans, the cleaning staff, the catering staff, the groundsman, the kit people.....so therefore they DO NOT deserve to go out of business. It's the ownership application process or whatever that needs a complete overhaul-because it's ***** to be frank.

Hope was the wrong word to use but when I've seen four years of us trying to "cut our cloth accordingly" as they say and look where it has got us. It ****** me off when teams are allowed to pay wages they can't afford but still survive.

Surely if they go into admin for a second time there should be a more severe punishment for them. Portsmouth aren't the only club that have done the same and I just think it is plain wrong.

All that's been discussed thus far is a 20 point deduction
