Sorry, but people don't get filled in at Argyle (or any other ground) over nothing. Violence at football is brainless, but if you expect me to believe that your dad was just set upon a propos of nothing, I don't.

Did he celebrate wildly? I take it you witnessed this? But you are right about another thing not being able to sit anywhere you like without the strong possibility of being attacked just because you support another team. It's one of the main reasons some people think football supporters are knuckle dragging morons, hard to argue with that really.

Sorry I dont agree. I did the same thing at Bristol a few yesrs ago when we came back from 2 down at half time to win 3-2 I managed to contain my self until the 3rd went in, when I flew out of my seat jumping & cheering with arms flailing, with no issues what so ever. My Stepdad is a gas head so we always sit with him in the home end at the Memorial & He with us at Home Park. I have never had an issue with either set of supporters. I also do the same with freinds who are Luton supporters again never had an issue. if you are with family/freinds of the opposition you are generally accepted amongst the home fans as long as you behave fairly reasonably.
So what if he celebrated wildly. It's only a goal in a game of football, he's hardly shot Lassie or murdered anyone.
but it happens at football ,course it’s wrong.Never understood why men kicking a ball about can generate so much anger and violence between two set of fans.One game abroad recently had to be abandoned because of violence between the fans.
The thing is violence has always been a problem throughout the history of the game,maybe just rid of the sport altogether then,it’s never going to end.Same as all the abuse and swearing the players get,that won’t end either

Afternoon , just read through the responses I understand the sentiment of my father being sat in the wrong area of the ground (although we do this all the and have no trouble due to not being idiots). However my real issue lies with the cowardly attacks from behind (not the attacks which have left a black eye and split lip) and also the threatening behaviour bordering on violence towards my sister (20) and step mother (46) there is no condoning that surely.
I can't see ANYONE condoning it, far from it, I see people saying what a bunch of prats we have (as have you) within our midst.
BUT, I agree with a couple of posters that it was niave to sit where you did.
Do you leave your doors open at night? Do you leave you car with the keys in?
It's a sad fact of life that there are scumbags out there, and we should recognise that with our behaviour and actions on occasions.

When Derek Adams talks about our yobbish element, it’s precisely actions like this that he’s referring to.
So what if you’re in the home end? As long as you’re not stirring up trouble, what’s the issue?
Abhorrent behaviour, which is not condoned by any decent Argyle fan.

Yes photographs were taken, matter reported to the Rovers cooper who travels with the team. Will be interested to see what comes of this. I have had buddy’s banned for what I called “cockrelling” gesturing violence but not actually doing anything. I would like to think assault in a ground would result in a football banning order aswell as argyle looking to keep them out of home park for an extended period.
