FA contact Carlisle over alleged Savage abuse

Carlisle United say they will not tolerate any "abusive or discriminatory language"

The Football Association have contacted Carlisle United as part of an investigation into alleged verbal abuse of Forest Green Rovers manager Robbie Savage.

The former Wales midfielder, 51, spoke in the aftermath of "vile abuse" he had received during his side's 4-2 National League defeat at Brunton Park on Saturday.

The Cumbrian club said in a statement they are reviewing allegations of "offensive, discriminatory chants and abuse" and will pass on video, audio and CCTV footage to the FA.

Carlisle also said they would not tolerate any "abusive or discriminatory language" and they would deal with instances that are identified.
