Alan Smith's reputation precedes him - if Savage had broken his leg in a similar fashion then you could cruise the boards of many a team reading how delighted everyone is by his injury...but this doesn’t necessarily make people ‘sick’. Human nature likes to see the 'baddies' get their comeuppance and this is what is being reflected in some of the comments on here.
I don’t like Smith - I think he is a very, very average footballer with sh!t for brains who is trying to build a hard-man reputation but is not clever/skilled/hard enough to carry it off . However, I wouldn’t wish the injury he received to day on any individual but the persona some of these guys deliberately cultivate means I wont be judgemental of anyone gloating over his broken bones and dislocated ankle.
