"Robbie!"
Robertson shouted urgently from the sidelines as Robbie Savage, still fuming, was being held back by Neil Lennon and Van Bommel in the middle of the pitch. The referee wasn't showing favoritism toward West Ham—his decision was purely based on ensuring the safety of everyone on the field.
Savage's face was a mask of fury, but there was nothing more he could do. The red card had already been raised. Like it or not, he had to accept the decision and leave the pitch.
"Dumbass!" Robbie Savage cursed as he strode purposefully toward the players' tunnel. Coach Walford quickly approached him with a jacket to shield him.
Because as he walked toward the tunnel, it really did start to "rain"— coins, lighters, plastic cups, bottles...
Damn it, West Ham fans!
Even Robertson didn't dare stay on the sidelines any longer. As objects rained down from the stands, he quickly jogged over to the players' bench—at least there was a roof to shield them there.
