Day Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Derby County midfielder and BBC 606 presenter Robbie Savage sparked a tetchy twitter row last night, after rubbishing former England cricketer Darren Gough‘s pre-match tactical analysis. Gough, a presenter on talkSPORT, was discussing England’s options before their Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro last night, but Savage (who apparently counts himself as a bit of an expert when it comes to football’s subtleties) was not pleased with what he heard. Below is a transcript of the argument, and a good example of what happens when the immovably clueless argue with the irresistibly moronic; @RobbieSavage8: “Just in my mates car and he has a radio show on. it’s painfully bad a cricketer talking football tactics, wow I might do the Ashes.†@DGoughie: “Hi pal, I’m a PFA and PCA member. When did you play cricket?†@RobbieSavage8: “Mate 28,000 followers, well done. stick to cricket cos you no f**k all about football. All I know about cricket is you couldn’t bat!†@DGoughie: “Not interested in trading insults, I’m a team player it’s not all about me? I have an opinion like everyone sometimes I’m right sometimes I’m wrong simple. I love what I do, fact.†The thinking man’s feckless ***** then waded in to defend his talkSPORT colleague; @CallCollymore: “5 live offered me the 606 gig for this season,and I turned it down,because 606 has virtually a captive audience,and I get much more pleasure from what I’ve achieved with Call Collymore than I ever could from 606. If you’ve got it, you do your own, not piggyback on others.†@RobbieSavage8: “Yeah right I’m enjoying doing your Mirror column as well Stanley.†Following at least ten minutes of silence, talkSPORT’s gurning host Andy Goldstein also entered the fray; @AndyGoldstein5: “Why is Robbie Savage having a pop at talkSPORT? It’s like me playing for Derby and slaughtering Barcelona.†@RobbieSavage8: “Can’t be bothered with nuggets like you who nobody knows pal. 600 games later I’m still there! I’ll tune in at 3am to you.†@AndyGoldstein5: “dictionary definition of the word “nugget†: “anything of great valueâ€â€¦even when you insult me you get it wrong.†@RobbieSavage8: “mate your just a soccer am reject. 1 season wonder, do one.†…and it goes on, and on, and on – although Savage has moved to play the whole thing down with his first tweet of the morning today, saying; @RobbieSavage8: “Can’t believe people don’t no what banter is. it’s fun, that’s what twitter is about. Goughie (sic) was a gret cricketer who I respect!†http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/miscellaneous/47345/robbie-savage-sparks-twitter-row-with-darren-gough-and-stan-collymore.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think he was trying to be banterous but no-one was laughing but him. Bit harsh to say that to Goldstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Ram Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 His opening comment, his remark on Goughie passing comment on a football match is spot on. What next, Gary Lineker commentating on golf.....oh wait a minute:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Robbie just wants to be liked, but can't help himself. He has had that much stick in his career, that I think he struggles to communicate with out "getting one in" first? People then bite and off he goes, after it gets serious, he realises that he's been taken the wrong way, and it looks bad. He won't change, he is what he is. Nobodies perfect.

ladyram Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 It's all a storm in a tea cup I think and will evenentually blow over. Sav will come in for some stick the next time he goes to Oakwell though but I guess he's used to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Sav, you have to laugh. I follow him on twitter and can't believe people take him so bloody seriously. I mean, seriously. Had to laugh at the tweet the other day when he put something like 'up early for one of the most important days of the year - Highlights', next thing, it's being reported in one of the red tops. FFS - laugh people. He sends himself up - then when people have a pop, he defends himself, sometimes in quite an immature way - but hey - that's Sav. He's human and loves what he does. From his other tweets you can tell he is incredibly proud of his family and loves his dogs to bits, infact I've warmed to him a lot more lately. I know a lot bigger idiots.
