Seip, who was transfer-listed following a clash with Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock, was given permission to play and his goal on his Blackpool debut has sparked an outcry.[LNB]His former team-mates are fuming he was allowed to play and have also lambasted the Dutchman's wife, who is the daughter of Argyle's vice-president, and her mother after a photo was published of them giving Seip a thumbs up.[LNB]Seip said: "I am disappointed the players felt they needed to react in the way they did just because I was allowed to play against Argyle and that my wife and mother-in-law gave me a thumbs up after the game.[LNB]"After every game they give me a thumbs up - even if we lose. They were disappointed Argyle lost but also happy I played well. They are Argyle fans but they are also my family.[LNB]"The fact I was allowed to play was not anything to do with my family. It was the decision of the manager and the board of Argyle. The issue has been discussed enough now and all I want to do is concentrate on my football and the Argyle players should do the same."[LNB][LNB]
