However, Gold has leapt to the defence of Savage: "I spoke to Robbie and he gave me no indication of any problems other than an horrendous tackle on him," he told BBC Radio Five Live.
"He got up and remonstrated, as most players would, and the next thing we saw Dion Dublin headbutt Robbie and he was sent off."
Asked if Savage was a wind-up merchant, Gold added: "It's unreasonable and unfair. He's a passionate, determined player. How many times has he been sent off this season or last season?"
Savage has received 9 yellow cards this season, but has never been sent off in his professional career.
