Plymouth Argyle manager Wayne Rooney has been given a one-match touchline ban and a £5,500 fine by the Football Association for misconduct during Plymouth's 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers on October 5. Rooney, 38, believed there was a foul in the build-up to Blackburn's Joe Rankin-Costello's goal in the 86th minute and angrily protested to fourth official Jacob Miles before being sent off by referee James Linington. The incident occurred at Home Park, where Plymouth went on to score an added-time winner through Morgan Whittaker in the 97th minute. Rooney admitted to the charge and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed his sanctions following a hearing. He will miss Plymouth's next match against Cardiff City on Saturday. Rooney was confirmed as Plymouth head coach in May, having been out of management since he was sacked by Birmingham City in January after just 83 days in charge. Plymouth are currently 14th in the Championship, having won three of their nine league games this season. The club's fans will be hoping Rooney's absence does not affect their performance against Cardiff City. Rooney's experience and managerial skills will be missed on the touchline. Plymouth's players will need to step up and perform well to get a good result against Cardiff City. The match will be a tough test for Plymouth, but they have the talent and determination to come out on top.
