Rob slams Pintado's Savage tackle
The Spanish striker was shown a straight red card just nine minutes after coming on as a substitute in the Swans' 1-0 victory after a cynical lunge on the former Wales midfielder.[LNB]Pintado's challenge led to a mass melee, and Savage felt his team-mates were right to confront the Swansea striker.[LNB]"That is one of the worst tackles I have ever seen," Savage said.[LNB]"I don't know what he was doing - maybe he was trying to make a name for himself. It's a man's game and I expect bad tackles but not as bad as that. It was horrendous.[LNB]"I saw him and heard him coming. If I hadn't seen him and had my foot planted, I would have had a broken leg, without a doubt. It was an idiotic challenge and that's a three-game ban from the FA. I hope he appeals and gets another one."[LNB][LNB]
