Fantastic interview with Robbie Savage

[keaton]

Savage is a great player, any premiership manager would have him in their team and the Northern Ireland sending off was an absolutely appalling decision.
I think most hatred of him is based on those strange jumpers he wears when he's interviewed on telly which make him look like a girl from croydon.
He deserves a lot of respect for helping Wrexham and also for never letting the over-the-top abuse he gets week-in, week-out

I've had an intense dislike of him since he dived like a particularly wimpy girl to get Justin Edinburgh sent off in the '99 Cup Final. Although that is going back a fair bit. Fair play to him for helping Wrexham, mind.

 

[Rougvie]

Oh come on, most of us would love a Savage type player at The Albion (sorry Charlie but you dont quite make it).

Its guys like these that make football what it is, if they die out then the PC brigade that want to sanitise football for a global audience wiould win.

Pretty decent that he is supporting the Wrexham cause to.

 

[Fran Hagarty]

Must admit I don't mind Savage at all and think too many people are quick to jump on his back and call him a wanker because of his long hair and the generally skewed perception that he is a dirty player and liable to whinge at the drop of an alice band.

Couldn't agree more. He's my favourite non Albion player - not only because I like his hair (!) but also because he is generally known as one of the nicest people in football (off the pitch). The above article bears this out. People are too quick to judge by appearances - my aversion to men with shaved heads is well known but it doesn't mean I label everyone in that category as a "bovver boy" and equally, it is nonsense to classify men with long hair as "girlies" - makes my blood boil! Perhaps people will now appreciate that Robbie Savage is, in fact, one of the more sensitive and caring members of the football fraternity, not the "savage" he is made out to be.

It's turning into a bit of a Robbie Savage love in here.

 

[Fran Hagarty]

What a load of bollocks. If Savage had been a Brighton or an England player, you'd have been screaming blue murder. And rightly so too.

Hear! Hear! No way should have been sent off - decision was disgraceful.

 

[Gazwag]

At that precise moment Savage knew that his chance to play in what would have been the biggest game of his career had just been snatched away from him by an insane referee.

Wouldn't you have been just a little upset under similar circumstances?

I agree - Gazza did the same when a poor refereeing decision could have robbed him of a world cup final which would have been the biggest game of his career

Every fan loves a passionate player who play for them and hates the ones that don't

Respect to him for making the effort to find out about his home town club and helping the both financially and verbally.

How many other premiership players would give a toss. I'm sure some do but don't make a song and dance about it but I sure these are in the minority

Should he have been sent off for elbowing Kezman in the face a couple of weeks beforehand?

What's that got to do with the Northern Ireland incident?
Of course he should've been sent of for elbowing Kezman, that's got nothing to do with any other incident he is involved.
Your taking the side of Refs who judge players on reputations and not actual incidents i.e. why Alan Smith has been sent off so many times compared to Van nistelroy

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I hate Craig Bellamy more, the arrogant little tosspot.
Also because he looks like one of the banana splits.

I quite like Savage although he does have a habit of feigning injury

 

[On the Left Wing]

If we're going down the avenue of pick on Welsh players .. there are a few English players don't bare scrutiny ....

I loathe Keiron Chav Dyer and think Jonathan Sniffer Woodgate and Rio Ferdinand are also arseholes

Because he came out after the Northern Ireland game almost CRYING because he'd been sent off and I found that astonishing since he'd be let off the elbowing incident.

In other words, shut up Dave.

Bellamy looks more like the demented love child of Peter Beardsley by the hour with his hunchback, no neck and strangely dated haircut that does him no favours.

 

[NMH]

You're right. f*** him. Send him off every week. After all, he's got long hair.

That's not the point - he's WELSH ferchrissakes.

Send the git OFF and give him SHIT !
