The latest Argyle news and gossip.

Derek Adams talks about his yellow card received during the game against Portsmouth on Saturday. ...

"Gareth Evans kicked the ball away after he was booked and he’s launched it 50 yards out of play. The referee has not booked him. He should have been sent off from that, but he chose to give me a yellow card because I protested that he had kicked the ball away after he had blown the whistle.

“The referee said to me that Evans kicked the ball as the whistle went. I’ll have to look at that on the video and slow it down. If that’s the case, then I’ll apologise to the referee. If it’s not the case, I expect the referee to apologise to me.”

Portsmouth midfielder Ben Close believes it wasn't a foul on Yann Songo'o that led to Graham Carey scoring from the resultant free-kick, he said ....

‘I think we’ve been really hard done by on that. Everyone can see so clearly the ball has changed direction. ‘He’s won the ball cleanly and the ball has changed direction. ‘It was a great finish and there’s not much we could have done after the free-kick was awarded.

'The wall was in a good place and Craig MacGillivray didn’t have a chance the way he’s bent and dipped it. ‘But we are incredibly disappointed in terms of the fact Nathan has put in a very good tackle on the edge of our box. ‘We were potentially starting a counter-attack and we end up conceding a free-kick and they score. It’s massively disappointing.’
