eranio20 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 What happened? "http://www.footballmascots.co.uk/mascotphotos/Rammie" alt="Rammie"> "http://www.dcfc.co.uk/cms_images/player/rammie-4x3129-446252_478x359" alt="rammie-4x3129-446252_478x359"> As you can see, Rammies had health problems since the Americans took over with his eyes, his horns looking like a cheese twister, his nostrils looking like snooker table pockets and his height rapidly growing (atleast) another foot. What happened the the original Rammie? He was a hero growing up and is basic costume was famous throughout the country. Is he ok? Is the newer Rammie Grzegorz Rasiak? Bout the same height n'all . Is the new Rammie just a PG friendly version made specially for the kiddie winks? Or did something happened "behind the scenes" to the original Rambo?

Mostyn6 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 WOW, you only just noticed this simple looking new Rammie? Not sure if it's the 2nd or 3rd season (coming) since they made him more 'appealing' to children and less ....whatever it is they thought was wrong with the other Rammie head.

I noticed years ago at a kit launch in Derby, it's changed quite afew times since then. The person currently playing Rammie is a near 6'7 ex Derby Storm player by the looks of it. The original Rammie was Dean Mottram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 the one Rammie was sacked for lying down by the byline holding out his arm in a wresting tag-team style when Brian Stock was down injured with a broken shoulder or something. Amusing at the time... for weeks after, the replacement Rammie, perhaps a youth player being punished by Clough for being naughty, sat in the corner with his head bowed.

Ram@Lincoln Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 the one Rammie was sacked for lying down by the byline holding out his arm in a wresting tag-team style when Brian Stock was down injured with a broken shoulder or something. Amusing at the time... for weeks after, the replacement Rammie, perhaps a youth player being punished by Clough for being naughty, sat in the corner with his head bowed. I know this 'Rammie' personally and I'd like to clarify that the person playing Rammie during that occasion was not sacked. The only form of 'punishment' he got was strong advise from the FA and club directors to stay off the pitch while the match was in progress and asked to write a letter of apology to Brian Howard and Reading FC. The advise to stay off the pitch was why he sat in the corners inbetween the stand railings and pitch side advertisement boards. This person resigned at the end of the season to advance his career into journalism and has since become a successful senior journalist. I'd also like to mention the reason for the new Rammie costume. The head and woolly knees were falling to pieces quite literally. The head had been held together with parcel tape for the last few months of its life and the knees were in tatters. A new costume had to be made and getting something looking exactly the same as old is quite hard. The kids would have noticed a difference between the old and new even if there wasn't a difference on paper. The club therefore decided to use the opportunity to completely redesign the costume, this allowed better/easier duplication in the match day programme, the kids Rammie magazine that was tried and the various soft toys of him.

knabby crackers Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Bring back the old guy with the black and white morning suit and top hat who used to rouse the BBG crowd with his black and white wooden rattle, even at about 120 years old he would knock the current Rammie into a cocked hat. His antics when announced by the pillock on the mike at the start of the game border on the pathetic and he does nothing on matchday to enhance the credibility of the Rams, the Yanks should shove their Yankee 'Rah Rah routines' up their jaxies!!

May Contain Nuts Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 We've not had that actual proper real life ram that we had leading the team out on occasion a a few years back make an appearance recently, wonder if he's still alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance-corporal Derby is the official mascot of the Sherwood Foresters [now known as the Mercenary Regiment or summat ] and is probably guarding wherever they are based now, I think we should suggest that the Yanks spend our transfer kitty on buying one of our own from the Duke of Devonshire up at that Chatsworth place, it would save on mowers and could be trained to butt Codhead and Martin up the backside if they miss any sitters. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-12986727 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Rammie's coming out with the flag, his awful prancing foot movement, and patting of his chest is THE single most embarrassing thing since the children with speech impediments reading out the team sheet just before kick off.
