He's still going on about it :funny: I can't believe the FA haven't charged him yet.

Speaking to the media for the first time since then on Tuesday, Artell revealed he had spoken to Jones, who is national group director of the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) on the way back to Cheshire.
And he recounted his conversations with Nield after the game.
Artell said: "The referee did three 'Chris Porter misses' in 90 minutes. Unacceptable.
"If you miss one, it's forgiveable. Chris came in, full of remorse, said 'sorry fellas' straight away.
"But I'm sure Tom still thinks he's right to this moment in time - he certainly still thought he was right at 5.20pm (on Saturday) when I went and saw him, that's for sure.
"And he lied. Twice. Because he said he saw it (Plymouth's penalty incident) directly and having by then seen it eight times at that point, and in slow motion, I knew he couldn't see their penalty because of where Antoni Sarcevic and Michael Nottingham were.
"So I knew he'd lied. And I told him that.
"And he said 'are you calling me a liar?'
"And I said 'yes'.
"He said 'well you need to be careful'.
"But I knew I was right, so you have to shut up at that point.
"And he said he didn't give the penalty on Stephen Walker, and he should have booked him for diving - that was the feedback during the game.
"But after the game he said he was unsure whether it was a slip or a dive, and (said) that's what he told the fourth official.
"But when I had asked the fourth official whether he had heard a slip or a dive (from Nield via the officials' communication devices) he said 'no, just a dive'.
"He was just covering his own back. Don't lie!
"Whether you have made a mistake or you still think you are right, don't lie to me! He's lied to me twice.
"You're hitting your head against a brick wall when referees are that pig-headed.
"They are no better than me, no worse than me, just a human being - but he'd out himself on a pedestal and what happened in that room disgusted me as much as what happened on the pitch.
"I was perfectly calm and polite, we all sat down, I shook his hand on the way out, no problem.
"It's a tough job. But don't lie to me, I hate that."
Argyle's win, and subsequent draw at Macclesfield Town on Tuesday, has put them level on points with the Alex in the race for automatic promotion from League Two.
Artell added: "I spoke to Mike on the way home, I like Mike he's a good guy. I told him what had happened, I've submitted my report and we'll see what happens.
"(Nield) was definitely, definitely, definitely 'influence-able' without a shadow of a doubt. Tom crumbled. I told him at half time I was worried about him.
"He walked past our changing room door at half time and I said 'I'm worried about you'
"He said 'what do you mean?'
"I said 'you've missed two penalties for us and I'm really worried about you because I think you might crumble. Lo and behold, half an hour later, he has. Again."
