What came before the phrases that are quoted, what his intent was? 12 minutes ago, Sean said: For those who said he has misspoken, why would he bring up their race in a slip of the tongue? If they had wooden legs would it be too obvious to mention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 The thing thats really irked me with this isn't just the fact that he's mentioned their race, which on its own is unacceptable but the fact that he said "all the young black lads." A slip of the tongue might "both the young black lads" (if referencing Lowe & Bogle, again would still be unacceptable); but to say "all" takes it beyond that, for me. Really implies he sees an attitude problem among all young black players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically as much as I don’t like Ramage as a pundit I’m actually wondering if he mean’t to say back players, only because he’d been ranting about Lowe and Bogle.

There was no need for him to mention their colour as I have already said. In the interview as a whole though he was not singling out black players and blaming them for our poor performance.

He is talking about their 'commitment' in the context of the match & in the immediate aftermath of the match. Fine incidentally if he had a specific issue with the 2 players & they happened to be black/mixed raced but then he specifies their skin colour.

rustylee Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It would be great if they sacked Ramage and Dawes left as well in solidarity dreadful combination them two. Radio Derby hasn’t been worth listening too since Ross Fletcher left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, he rabbits on that fast without thinking who knows, inexcusable either way. He only had to pause, breathe and be a bit more eloquent; trouble is he just rambles on. Yeah that well known football expression, “back players”...! Is there a straw shortage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Slightly off topic comment but if Ramage is that bad a summariser as some would make out on here then why has been employed at Radio Derby for so long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion is he was singling out younger players and then went on to make the comment about young black players who I took to mean Bogle and Lowe.

I don’t think he’s very good at his job. Neither of them actually seem to know what they’re talking about, have no information behind what they’re saying from the last teams we’ve played, form table or anything. Constant guess work. He himself just trots out the same cliches each week “win your battles” etc. It’s not so much an insight as just a guy moaning who used to play. But some like that and want to hear it. Don’t want him sacked because I don’t like him, some do and I can choose to listen or not. Same way I choose not to watch Good Morning Britain due to Piers, lot of other people watch and like him but I don’t think he’s good at his job, just shouts and rants and is then someone who “speaks his mind” etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as I said, there’s plenty of examples out there of people being kept in roles despite their incompetence. Doesn’t surprise me someone at Radio Derby sees something in him many of us don’t.
