Howaythelads Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 He is a much better player that what he can show being stuck at LB, can't belive the shit the lad gets for playing out of position and taking it for the team. He does'nt hide always looks to get stuck in even though he finds it hard to play there. Yea he is getting alot of shit, TBH if anyone is to blame then it should be Roeder. Everyone on here knows Babs aint good enough yet all he got in the transfer market was Bernard on a freebie. Few times he has played in his proper position (CB) he has been decent. He is better at CB, but that doesn't mean he's good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is better at CB, but that doesn't mean he's good enough. That is a fair comment. And I wasn't saying he was good enough. All I was saying is that he hasn't been in the first team picture for long, and many players can be late developers. Sometimes it only takes a click in the mind to turn someone from an average/mediocre player to a solid decent one. I believe (or hope) this will be the case with Ramage. Now if we're talking top 4 or 5...yeah that he's not at the moment. But it's still no reason in my opinion to lay into the lad at every opportunity like some people do.

But he's a liability at LB, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 wrong position! my arsse! He is the worst football player I have seen at Nufc for a long time. His footballing skills are non existant and his defending skills are mediocre. Roll on january and bridge! fact 1 . carr is far worse than ramage .i should know been watching the toon for 35 years. fact 2. bridge has just signed a new 4 year deal at chelski. fact 3.when he has played centre half he imho excellent for a YOUNG kid. all about opinions really isnt it. imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Any human being who needs a 20 yard radius to control a football should not be paid to play Back for good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesD Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 haven't really read the thread, so i'm just gonna chime in with this: whenever ramage has played CB, he's been more than capable. left full back is a very different position, and being right footed only makes it harder.

Guest Rafa Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Like many people has said he's not FULL BACK! He's a 6ft centre half who has played well in his natural postion when i have seen him play. A centre half wins headers and goes in for tackles differently than a full back. Full backs have people running at them and dribbling more than a centre half. Try keeping your balance against a smaller opponent who has a lower centre of gravity when they are twisting or turning. Also try playing in a role when most of your passing/crossing is with your weaker foot (I know most footballers should be able to do this but don't just blame Ramage for it when most of the other players in EPL can't do it either). People rate Carragher, JT and co, you put them as a full back and they would be terrible too (Carragher has player full back and was pretty woeful for 'pool). you are very wrong there, not sure why you've said it even! Maybe to try and prove a point or summet, but you picked the wrong player to use. Carragher was a very good full back for Liverpool, being as he played there for about 4 seasons for a reason! Up until 2 seasons ago, I thought of him as a full back, and especially a good left back, although he could play at right back as well. He just wasn't that attack minded, but then he defended first and formost, which is what defenders shoulb be doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I honestly believe I have as much footballing talent as Ramage....if not more. The lad is terrible but it aint his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
