ROBBIE SAVAGE was ushered off by the referee and a steward after his Forest Green celebrations.
The Wales legend – who is now in charge of the National League side – watched on as his side completed a stunning second-half comeback to dump Southend United.
The Shrimpers were leading before Harry Whitwell and Kyle McAllister both scored late on in the space of two minutes to turn defeat into victory and spark wild scenes.
However, a commotion appeared to break out due to the nature of Savage’s celebrations close to the visiting staff and players, reports the Echo.
Visiting boss Kevin Maher was asked about the incident post-match but refused to be drawn into discussing the scenes.
He said: “No comment. You were close enough to see what happened and I don’t think I need to comment on that.”

It is believed Savage avoided any punishment from referee Declan Brown.
Gus Scott-Morriss fired the visitors into the lead with 68 minutes on the clock before the hosts levelled ten minutes later thanks to Whitwell.
McAllister then fired home from 30 yards to spark wild celebrations.
The result keeps Forest Green in fourth spot just one point behind leaders Rochdale at the summit – but they have two games in hand over all their nearest rivals.
Carlisle United are level on points with the table toppers. They’ve played 21 games and have 46 points.
Rochdale have the same tally but have only had 19 league outings with York City and Forest Green one point back on 45.
Southend remain in the play-off spots in seventh spot despite the defeat with the National League throwing up a stunning race for a return to the EFL.
Boreham Wood make up the early contenders in fifth spot on 44 points.
