The FA are awaiting referee Oliver Langford's report today before any further disciplinary action is considered.

Matt will be a very lucky man if he walks away from it all without a suspension//fine, four leaf clover lucky.

The only things that may save him are that you can clearly see from some of the tv pictures that he saw the incident, and that he spoke to Matt in its immediate aftermath.

Do Mr Brent have a hotel in Portsmouth?

Argyle's squad stayed in Portsmouth to start preparing for the decisive League Two play-off semi-final second leg at Home Park on Sunday.

The players had a short coach trip to a nearby hotel following the action-packed 2-2 draw with Pompey at Fratton Park on Thursday night.

They were able to get in a good night of sleep, rather than travelling back to Plymouth immediately after the match and returning to Home Park in the early hours of Friday morning.

The first leg against Portsmouth was a physically demanding game, especially as Argyle came under heavy pressure in the second half.

It was also a very warm evening on the south coast so the decision for the Argyle squad to stay in Portsmouth overnight was a good one.

Manager Derek Adams told Herald Sport after the first leg: "We are staying here tonight in Portsmouth and we are going to get to bed early and train here tomorrow.

"We will then travel back home. I think it's important we get to our beds at a reasonable time, rather than at three o'clock in the morning.

The only thing that could save him is if the ref booked him for the said offence if not the FA are in there rite to review it and dish out punishment acordingly but if he did get booked the FA tend to go with the refs decision during the game

One thing is 100% certain - we'll be ultra shit again. Even if we're not, just can't see past a pompey win whether it's in normal time or on penalties. Big home crowd + big expectation = MASSIVE disappointment. REALLY glad I'm not going.

I think this is where the wives and Girlfriends and friend sits

So am I, a real fan can have your seat

Matt was tackled by Portsmouth midfielder Danny Hollands and there was a tangle of legs between them, with Doyle trying to drag Matt up from the ground.You can't go around man-handling players?

The Argyle striker took exception to that and television replays clearly showed he put his forehead on the back of Doyle's head. Doyle's reaction was, frankly, pathetic although Matt shouldn't have touched him really. Of course after 56 rolls and 264 checks that he wasn't bleeding he has no choice but to say 'he butted me your honour'

Referee Oliver Langford lectured Matt and Doyle but took no other action. So he saw it then?

Herald Sport contacted The FA for a comment on the situation surrounding Matt on Friday morning and were awaiting a response. So the FA were doing nuffin - so 'erald mentioned it to ensure it stayed in the news.

"The referee said it was nothing and I agree with him. We will see what happens." So he saw it then?[/or]
Not surprisingly, Doyle had a very different view to Matt about the off-the-ball clash.
Doyle told The News in Portsmouth: "The lad used his head. You can see it on the camera.
"He got tangled up with Danny and he wouldn't let him go. So I pulled his leg away from Danny so he could get up and we could go on the attack. Flaming slow attack then
"I spoke to the commentators and they thought I made a bit much of it at first but the more they looked at it the more they could see it was a red card. Weren't the commentators ex-Pompey? and why talk to them apart from trying to get Matt banned.

Hat trick Sunday please Mr Matt and then when we are 4 up with 5 mins to go then go find Doyle and give him a real head butt

No punishment for Matt

Football players have only themselves to blame, they're all lying, cheating hypocritical bar stewards, feigning injury, screaming as if they've been machined gunned, rolling about the ground and they expect referees to get it right, too fecking bad if the ref got it wrong last night, maybe if Doyle hadn't made a meal of it-- well who knows.
Watched Fabregas get his hand stamped on last week and he ends up rolling around on the ground, how the feck would a stamp on the hand cause anybody to do rolypolys is beyond me

You're always moaning Graiser. Continually. Stop it, and lighten up.
As an aside, I don't think any football person should be hemmed in with having to be a role model. Why do football coaches and players have to behave better than anyone else ? They might be paid a bit, but it's still worse than the army. Who would be an employee today if they could possibly avoid it ? When you don your work togs, expect to be treated worse than an animal.
