DCFC Ram Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I listened to Radio Draby on the way to the car after the game as usual. It was impressive how Cocu spoke with eloquence and precision to provide an informed and insightful summary of the performance in less than a couple of minutes - and that's with English being his second (possibly third, fourth, fifth or even sixth language). Ramage's post match comments were drivel in comparision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Cocu spoke very well, was impressed. Properly detailed analysis of the game and seemed to know what he was talking about- hopefully anyway, it sounded decent! Seems quite meticulous and hopefully he’ll work out where we need improving and hopefully eventually have us as a well drilled unit in both defence and attack. Ramage on the other hand just talks utter poo and always have. Can’t listen to radio Derby as it’s like they’re on another planet, even post match which I sometimes listen to (like today) it’s mental. Pretty sure he said bogles injury isn’t too bad as we have wisdom to replace him..... hate to break it to you Craig, but wisdom is also still injured.

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Never mind radio Derby, can’t believe grown men were ringing in moaning that cocu didn’t wave to them after the game. Get a ducking grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealhantsram Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 on a plus, i thought they did a very good match preview podcast. Seems to be something new for this season. Chris Coles plus a couple of guest analysts I didn't recognise "Josh" and "Chris" I think. Bloggers maybe? But I liked that show. Worth a listen in future. Coles is certainly the best broadcaster of the 3 match-day regulars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Cocu give us a ? . I’m embarrassed for anyone complaining about him not waving. Heaven help us if he doesn’t start a bounce. Yet another embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcfcsr92 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Ramage is a $h17 anyway he annoys the hell out of me, thinking he was a right baller and so much better then what he is when really he was average at the very best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,ramage asked ed about wisdom and they then discussed how far he was away from fitness and that he had been forgotten about (by them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 ramage doesn't bother me. He has alot of airtime to fill and can get drawn into subject areas where he hasn't fully thought through what he is forced to yabber on about. Much of what he says seems pretty accurate to me. But ed dawes is just horrible to listen too. @OwenB87 is loads better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC Ram Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 It is unfair to compare a footballer who has just finished a game with an ex footballer who is paid to comment on the game, but the post match segment of Ramage and then Keogh was far weaker than the comments from Cocu. For his of his effort and attributes on the pitch, Keogh really ain't the person to put in front of a microphone after the game. I don't think that it does him any favours.

Ramage's post match comments were drivel in comparision. Cocu has a finite amount of airtime Ramage has a lot of deadtime to pad out. Whether you care to admit it or not filling all that void time even with drivel requires a modicum of skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I quite like Craig Rammage because he could be literally any Watford fan babbling incoherently about a football match. Gives me reassurance I could be a sports broardcaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarrowRam Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 It’s not in cocu’s nature to wave to the fans. He’s a totally different person to lampard. He’s paid to manage the team.As long we see the team improving over the season. I’ll be more than happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched many full 90's back with their commentary on in the past and their version of events is totally off They always lean on the side of negative. For example Derby could have 5 attacking moves that break down on the edge of the box. Swansea could have 1 counter attack that breaks down on the edge of the box. It would be summarised by saying Derby's passing has been really poor today and they just don't look like scoring. Derby were lucky there because if that final pass had been better then Swansea would be in. It was too easy for Swansea to get through the midfield. That there is how they summarise everything. Countless times I have watched the game and heard their live commentary. Countless times I've been getting in the car to hear stuff like "Derby didn't look like scoring" and I'm shouting "But Bennett missed a sitter, Keogh had a header cleared off the line, Lawrence drew 2 good saves. Derby definitely looked capable of scoring!" then I turn the clowns off. Always lean on the side of negative. Dawes moans like a drunken teenage gobshite about referees and linesman. I don't expect them to just dig out positives when there aren't many. But they dig out negatives where they aren't many. Parasites. Whether Ramage played or not is irrelevant. Marc Edworthy and The Rams TV guys played and they largely say the opposite to Ramage so they can't both be offering a real insight to the game. If playing had offered him such a great tactical mind then he wouldn't be commentating on Radio Derby. Have you heard some of the nonsense that comes out of Andy Townsend? He was miles better than Ramage No wonder the station has people ringing up upset because Cocu didn't wave at them. That's the sort of drama queen garbage they love. No wonder Mel prefers Talksport. They really pander to the football fan who thinks to show passion and fire is to be outraged by something all the time. Saying stuff like "not fit to wear the shirt" and "Showed no passion today. They didn't want it enough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
