Most Americans would love the opportunity to come to Scot Land Only for a couple of weeks then they head back to the land of opportunity. Ramirez has made a Roger Hunt of it by signing up for 2 seasons. Poor guy will probably head back an alcoholic, smoking 60 a day and have nothing to show for his stint except illness. Link to comment

Ever use the Christopher Hitchens line when talking to the natives? Something like "I am more of an American than you- you are one by accident of birth, but I chose to be American." ? and I'm routinely saddened by both. I do have to periodically remind people that I had to pass a test to be an American, and if they, as natural born Americans, sat the same test they'd likely fucking fail it. Used to go down to the Immigration offices in Detroit, mean bastards they were... used to dealing with folk who didn't speak a word of English... and they'd be, "DO... YOU... SPEAK... ENGLISH?" "Better than you do, ye cunt." Link to comment
Poodler Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Wiki says he’s fae California but where is he REALLY from? Must be Mexico eh? I’d love to catch him in the toon and ask him what his experience of the granite city is. Canna be enjoyable to someone who used to gorgeous weather and beaches. Link to comment
the_shrimp Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Didn't he use to play for Minnesota? No beaches there - it's a frozen shithole. Link to comment

BonnieDon Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 He's already one goal away from equalling the combined total of goals scored last season by Cosgrove, Hornby, Hendry and Kamberi. Overall he's been decent. Hopefully Hedges and Watkins are back soon as I think he'll do well alongside them. Link to comment

Having one or two of the creative players back in the team will probably help, but the system doesn't suit him. He needs a strike partner. On top of that he needs a break, and he needs some competition for his place in the team - the fact we literally have zero other out and out strikers at the club means he can't have a break (he can't even really be subbed off) and he has no competition for his place. JET is not able to play up front on his own, and I don't really see Samuels being intelligent enough to do it either, and the only other option is Watkins who seems to have been injured since he arrived, and also isn't a proper centre forward.

The fans know he needs a strike partner but dumb and dummer or Fred and barnie rubble who are in charge don’t. Fred should go into the toothpaste business and barnie should become a barman, but would he be trusted with the glass-es. Link to comment

"horrendous" "mentally draining" Not sure if you got the humour that was implied by noting places like Universal Studios in the same sentence as Codonas for places to take your kids. I'm sure a soccer star could push it to get flights and a weekend in these places compared to an afternoon at the 2p machines. Never really said America was not a shit hole either, I think it is. We even had birds like Ash Taylor's missus saying there wasnt much to do up here and hated it compared to cities down south. Not that she is anything to gauge it on but it can be quite limited if folk are used to something bigger and better. It would take some getting used to. Link to comment

I wonder how he feels now regarding how the football is going compared to what he was sold / told in contract talks. Those first few games will have had him buzzing and will feel like years ago. Seems a real positive guy and hopefully that doesn't drain out of him like it appears to do for a lot of our players. In a team with more fluid and less predictive movement he would score loads of goals. Sadly, that team is not us.. Link to comment
Itsagoal Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I wonder what the plan B is if Ramirez were to get a serious injury? Watkins? But he seems pretty injury prone. JET? Link to comment
