Robbie Savage was never as popular as he thought he was at Filbert Street - I well remember groaning at his play-acting when he got Justin Edinburgh sent off in the League Cup final. It was obvious that George Graham would order his team to shut the game down and hope to nick one, which they did. Once he'd signed for Birmingham he wasted no time alienating his former fans, exaggerating a challenge from Matt Elliott to get him sent off, while in the game at St. Andrews he ran over to take a corner in front of the Leicester support, looked up at them and kissed his Brum badge. He is a strange character indeed. - delicatemoth Mon, 08 Jun 2009 14:46:04 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3451/38/#pc_613 Heh-heh - his tackling is 'robust', but just wait until you see Worthington have a shot... As Baker & Kelly used to say, a player who moves to his club's rivals and then has a stormer against his old club is a 'Lion Judas'. A player who feigns injury to avoid having to play against them is a 'Chicken Judas'. Example of a 'Lion Judas': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Bennett_(footballer_born_1962) Can't think of an example of a 'Chicken Judas' right now, I'm sure someone else can... - Cavalry Trouser Tips Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:49:49 +0100 http://www.wsc.co.uk/content/view/3451/38/#pc_612 In Savage's case it was surely stupid of Jewell to imagine that he would ever be accepted. But in general the problem arises from "the idiots" - particularly prevalent at ex-EPL clubs - who seem to have taken over on the terraces. Yes I am talking about the "fans" who feel that they are entitled to entertainment and success and eg somehow fail to appreciate the danger of a lunging tackle from fan favourite - " he cares" - who then gets redcarded - "there was nothing in it". The idiot is blind and just waiting for the controversial signing - Andy Marshall's move to Ipswich from Norwich for example - to slip up and then of course the next move is destroying his confidence. Is there any solution? - onedeadbudgie Mon, 08 Jun 2009 12:01:04 +0100
