Plymouth manager Ian Holloway saw his side all but relegate Luton and then launched a fierce attack on the Bosman ruling which he claims is putting players' careers at risk.

The Pilgrims led 2-0 in an embarrassingly one-sided first half as David Norris and Peter Halmosi found the net before substitute Stephen O'Leary gave the Championship club's bottom club a brief glimmer of hope.

But Holloway's focus after the game was on the Bosman system which caused the hosts to leave out Markus Heikkinen and the visitors to leave out Tony Capaldi, with both players looking at alternative options at the end of the season.

Holloway said: "I think it's a pile of donkey dung. FIFA should scrap the Bosman ruling and get back to the way it was where anybody who is out of contract should be owned by the club and he should be able to command a fee for them.

"What they don't realise is that players are risking their livelihoods.

"If one of them played today and broke their leg, they would be out of a job. It's not a case of them having the freedom of Europe, it's a case of them risking their careers.

"They should give the clubs power and not the agents and the players."

He added: "They have got it wrong and the committee that sorted it out should look at it and change it now.

"They have a duty of care to every player and they have let them down.

"I don't blame the players, I blame the people at the top and unless they sort it out I'm never going to be a happy man.

"If enough people talk about it something could happen - even a single-celled amoeba could understand it."

Holloway saw his Pilgrims side take the lead when Halmosi crossed for Norris to loop home a header from 15 yards in the fourth minute.

Halmosi then doubled Plymouth's advantage five minutes before the break, firing home left-footed from 14 yards after a ricochet off Hatters defender Leon Barnett.

O'Leary pulled one back for Luton when he converted from close range in the 51st minute after Chris Coyne's header had been blocked on the line.

On his Hungarian loan star Halmosi, Holloway added: "He's a very good player, but has had to adapt to England.

"In fact I took him around a car boot sale and told him 'It's an English tradition where you take all the rubbish out of your house and sell it on a trestle table'.

"He said, 'It's a supermarket to me!"'

For Luton, who are now eight points adrift of safety with just three games left, there was not much to be happy about.

Boss Kevin Blackwell failed to speak to the press, instead sending assistant Sam Ellis.

Ellis said: "The players couldn't have been any worse than they were today, and we just hope that's not the level of performance they are capable of.

"I'm not slagging the players off, but we are very, very disappointed with the performance.

"We've not given up hope yet, and we hope they haven't."
