Blackburn player Lilly Savage has retired form international football!!!!

Cafu01 · 14-03-2005, 21:41

Lilly has now spat his dummy out and said Wales "are a shambles" under new manager John Toshack.
Savage retired because he couldnt get in the Wales squad of 24 players.

From the Sky Sports story:

Savage admits he is still in a state of shock at having called time on his international career at the age of 30, but claims he was left with no other option but to turn his back on his country.

"I can't believe it at the moment. I will miss everything about playing for Wales," he added. "There are a lot of things I won't miss, but it has happened and I am gutted because it is not for footballing reasons.

Let's make up our mind, shall we?

wales arent a shambles, toshack is, he has a problem with a player so leaves him out, obviously his job is to pick the best team, which he has not done

he probably has picked his best team,Savage isnt that good.He just took the mantle when Vinny Jones stopped playing.Who was far better in that role than Savage.Also if you are having problems with certain players most managers leave them out,the individual player doesnt make the team.Few examples ....Paul Ince,Jaap Stam and Lee Sharpe thats just 3 but there are far more and from most of the teams going...

A division 2 player got picked ahead of him.

Says a lot then, an international manager thinks Lily isn't good enough. Could you imagine the conversation with that ex red bas7654, "Oi boss that sheeep shager tossoff has left me out of the squad see you so I told him look tossoff( I didn't tell him thats our special name for him)Marky was a lot better player then you and he played for Manu and he scored loads of goals and what did you ever do, played for Liverpool with keegy, did you score like Marky eh, eh? no hes the greatest ever and I'm going to tell him you left me out you just wait for his phone call see you.
I know he called and said see yoou mark, now I've got the job and you don't I'm not putting Savage in the squad ,see, as he's a bad influance on the much younger players now, plus Cardiff's futher away from Wrexham then Blackburn and I would'nt want him missing his family like. I said to him you ex scouse git just because you've got european medals now see you doesnt mean I don't know a good player when I see one now and Robbie Savage will fall in to that catogory when I see him.
But Marky I covert the ground you walk on can you get me back in the Wales squad, see you?
Well I asked outright if he doesn't sh*t in your bog and doesn't wind up Ryan would you let him back in,see you?
What did he say oh love of my life?
It was a Russian word ending in OFF.

Why would you want to play for a crappy team like wales when you already play for a crappy team like Blackburn?

Nice one Bazf bet the papers play up Marky and Lily.

What division 2?????

Mik Dickinson · 15-03-2005, 19:29

To be honest i think the critic is overdone.I see Savage as a hard working mid filed player living up to his last name ' Savage'.as to Rovers being a crappy team well they beat Burnley who by the way beat Liverpool.How can Savage be sucking his dummy when certain tea´ms in the Premiereship have players called ' Sissy'? I rest my case seems appropiate LOL!

Bazf · 15-03-2005, 21:31

Lets look at this logically, if Blackburn arn't crappy then Bournmouth must be superb as they beat you and on Wedensday you should beat us about 4-0 as you beat Burnley and they beat a Liverpool side. Oh Rovers supporters they are always good for a laugh. Talk about laughing I nearly pee'ed myself when you wrote hard working midfield player lives up to his name Savage.
Etymology: Middle English sauvage,

1 a : not domesticated or under human control
b : lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings
c : lacking complex or advanced culture
Just about sums him up and what a good team to join, one that will break players legs and blame it on the pitch.

Mik Dickinson · 16-03-2005, 07:54

Well i am glad you have had a good laugh.Hope you are laughing tomorrow after the game tonight.I still rate savage as a good player.He is just a hard player, along with Tugay and Dickov.The Rovers side show some backbone now and want to play.Not like when Souness was there who i laso rated a hard player but a crappy Manager.

slater_scott · 16-03-2005, 09:28

No one can say he doesnt work hard.

Cafu01 · 16-03-2005, 12:00

You need to do more than work hard though in football
