Bucks_Blue Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Anyone else see Robbie Savage on Soccer AM (Sky) this morning, he was trying their new game Dart Board Challenge (Replacement for Crossbar Challenge) the dart board was in his house, i think, and there was a large photograph in the background of Savage going onto the pitch at Ewood with either his boy or a mascott. They also showed a clip of him at a Darts event in Shefield when he was still at Rovers. Down side is that Fat boy Kevin Davies was also on!

CrazyIvan Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 That picture is excellent. I still like Robbie and I don't honestly think I could ever boo him unless it was jokingly. Top fella and is showing people he can STILL play for Derby. I hope it puts one over on Fergie today too!
RibbleValleyRover Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Legend and a player we never replaced.
chocky Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Smug ###### Davies alway seems to be on that show...
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 The large picture of him in his Rovers kit on his wall looked excellent.....never has a bad word to say about the club. His enthusiasm and energy is sadly missed at Ewood.
cn174 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 The large picture of him in his Rovers kit on his wall looked excellent.....never has a bad word to say about the club. His enthusiasm and energy is sadly missed at Ewood. He'd do very well in our midfield right now too!!
Vicki Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 It's here for anyone that missed it - http://www.skysports.com/video/clips/0,237...4921836,00.html
Mc Love Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I saw that picture, his time spent at rovers obviously meant a lot to him!! Dont think I could ever boo him if he came back to play against Rovers! And is quite possibly one of my fav rovers players
Anti-Dingle-Brigade Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Agreed. His manner when he played against us for Derby showed that despite leaving, he is a Rover at heart. Clear as day. A real legend.
T4E Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I love Sav. Still think he could do a job for us, too.
DeadlyDirk Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I love Sav. Still think he could do a job for us, too. Good old Savage, yeh he probably could! Should have tried a cheeky loan
Ninjathunder Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I'll never forget the Dingles FA Cup replay when the teams came out and wandered down to the Darwen End and deliberately jogged up and down front of the screaming Dingles, lapping up the abuse. Absolutely priceless.
T4E Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I used to enjoy how Sav would practice free kicks before the game in front of the opposition fans, deliberately ballooning them over in to the crowd as hard as he could. You could tell he loved the notoriety.
John Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 How we miss his energy in our current midfield.
almuncle Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 How we miss his energy in our current midfield. Any energy!
the original david brent Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 It was remarked by myself and a few friends how well savage played yesterday against the best team in the world. Its been touched on by other posters, more so in tongue and cheek, that he could still do a job at rovers. Well I aint joking and believe he would be far more useful than some of the current crop that have played midfield for us this season. He never stopped in the 80 or so minutes he played yesterday, tackled ronaldo numerous times, played some good balls and got a standing ovation from the derby fans. Crucially his fitness looked fine, and he is still as energetic as ever. We have replaced him with far more ineffective players (Vogel, Andrews, Grella) Its not just his individual performance, but he galvanised the team and got the crowd going, something we havent had since he left. While its easy to blame Hughes for perhaps selling him prematurely, he was out of favour at derby, found himself on loan at brighton, and if Ince or even Allardyce had been a bit shrewder, we surely could have got him back for a fraction of what we sold him?
jonv Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 The Savage you saw yesterday was not the Savage that left Rovers when he did. It would have been risky to keep him in the side with his game clearly lacking in class and there would have been a heck of a lot of complaining going on through out the transfer windows for him to be shipped out. 1 good performance yesterday yes; but we got good cash for him when we did. However we most certainly didn't spend the mullah all that wisely. Not much else too say on the matter really.
