It was Keith Todd that sanctioned Seip’s ability to play in the game after Paul,Sturrock put Seip on the transfer list following a fall out. Below is what Keith Todd said at the time,
Plymouth director Keith Todd said allowing Seip to play against his parent club would be beneficial.
"Marcel needs to be playing matches," he told the club's website.
"While it is sometimes the case that on-loan players are forbidden from playing against their parent club, all such situation need to be consider on their own merits.
"Should Marcel be selected against us, I am sure our players will enjoy playing against him."
It was a major misjudgement for the Stapleton’s to celebrate Seip’s match winning goal as they did in the security of the Director’s Box. It is no wonder fans quite understandably took it as ‘two fingers’ up to them. It symbolised the level of disconnect at the time as Argyle were hurtling towards a financial calamity.
