It has been confirmed today that Robbie Savage has suffered a fracture to his ankle following a hefty challenge from Watford`s Al Bangoura. There was little wrong with the challenge, in fact it is the kind of tackle Savage would make four or fives times every game, however, the disappointment lies with the Watford fans.

Savage is not everyone`s cup of tea; in fact he is a required taste that is only really appreciated by the fans of his own team. He is notorious throughout the British Isle`s as everyone`s player they love to hate, a mantle he thrives on. However, this doesn`t mean he should be booed off of the pitch whilst on a stretcher.

One thing can be said of Robbie, despite his many faults, he won`t leave a pitch unless there is something seriously wrong. This was the case last night. He had suffered a fractured ankle and all that the disrespectful Watford fans could do was continue to boo him.

Personally I feel that kind abuse when the Welshman was on a stretcher is appalling. I am not a fan of booing anyway as it is immature and far too often unjustified, a moronic response to stereotyping.

Savage is a great athlete and professional and did not deserve the abuse that was levelled at him last night. If only the Watford fans could take a leaf out of Man City`s book as their fans all stood and applauded as Andre Ooijer was taken off on a stretcher at the weekend.

I wish Savage all the best and a speedy recovery.
