Nuwtfly Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Would be interested to know who thought it was a good idea to just re-upload the audio with CR's comments edited out. Shocking bit of decision making. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Can the club go as far as stopping their access to players, the manager etc until the sort this out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 7 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: The police will be looking into what Ramage said. It's on the border between legal and illegal. I doubt that, and would hope that the police spend their time and resource chasing after actual criminals. Ramage is guilty of being a little bit thick and has inadvertently made a casually racist comment. He'll likely lose a job he loves as a result, that will be enough of a punishment.

goldstar Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I cant help but think this is like a witch hunt yet again. After recent events is it wise to all go after him? He should not have said what he said, it was always going to have this reaction. I personally think that it was his silly way of describing Lowe and Bogle and instead of saying by name, he did so by ethnicity which, while people do day to day with no backlash when describing someone, it wasnt the right thing to do. I may be wrong, but let him explain first. Let it be dealt with internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gained this reputation for 'saying it as it is' and he seems to bask in it. A poor mans' Robbie Savage and believe you me, that's saying something. A thinner Kenny Burns...

G STAR RAM Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 14 minutes ago, CornwallRam said: In fairness to Radio Derby, they couldn't leave the unedited version up. The police will be looking into what Ramage said. It's on the border between legal and illegal. His defence is that he mis-spoke, so will almost certainly face no charge. But if Radio Derby left the clip up whilst knowing its offensive nature, they would be committing a criminal offence. They should publish a legally non-committal explanation though. Was thinking the same. Everyone disgusted by the comments and angry at BBC for taking the comments out? Make your minds up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is probably not "the BBC" but almost certainly individuals? However,that's a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not wanting to get on the wrong side of the club but this is different - they are taking centre stage in this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 59 minutes ago, Carl Sagan said: Obviously the comment was wrong, but there seems a lot of sticking the boot in. Ramage wasn't many people's cup of tea already, but after recent events it's also important to remember to be kind. Let's not have some horrible pile-on. #BeKind I don’t like the pair of them on commentary but yes, the witch hunt isn’t good. It’s happened, he’s done it, now leave it to get dealt with. If it doesn’t get dealt with how it should then is the time for more pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Durden Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Extremely unfortunate comments by Ramage. Am sure Radio Derby has its own internal disciplinary measures that it follows as part of the BBC like any other corporate employer so give chance for the internal wheels to take motion before the hysteria starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Radio Derby had to take it down / edit it, in fact I think they’re probably legally obliged to. however, by doing that they’ve done two things: 1) they’ve unequivocally recognised and admitted That what damage said was unacceptable, and therefore there has to be some further consequences. 2) by not making it clear that it’s an edited version, they’ve cast doubt on Max’s original statement. Did he mis hear it? Is he just an easily offended snow flake? All these questions are going round social media belittling his dignified stance. radio Derby could have nipped that in the bud with a simple statement.

Jayram Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 It was an idiotic thing for Ramage to say and he needs to publicly apologise for saying it but I can't help thinking that a lot of the comments on here are driven by those who have wanted him off RD for a long time. Would you be saying the same thing if Eric Steele had said it or one of the Rams TV pundits? If Ramage doesn't apologise for what he has said then it becomes a different matter but at least give him a chance to do so before you clamour for him to be chucked off RD.

Not really, just issue an apology... by not dealing with this situation, it has escalated with players and coaches now becoming involved. This could all have been avoided.

cannable Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 44 minutes ago, rsmini said: After the match we got back to the car about 5:30 (it's a long walk) We then listened to the rest of Sportscene on Radio Derby and the gent in question was having a right go at Max Bird for some unknown reason. Chris Coles seemed confused by this as well. We totally disagreed with Mr Ramage as we knew Max Bird had an excellent game, like he always does. We know the game is all about opinions but we did think he had no reason to single out Max Bird I’ve not listened to it but from how I’ve seen people paraphrase it I don’t think he’s particularly wrong. To say that Bird should play through the thirds more is both constructive and accurate. Depends how he said it though, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
