Bit of a pet peeve of mine this since that disgusting MK Dons game, and it is a Guardian link so apologies Mailmen, but this reflects very well on our club
Michael Calvin's most recent book on academy football - which basically savages the whole system as a cynical, greedy form of child exploitation - has good words to say about Ramsey and QPR. Imagine that, a book about how dreadful youth football is run in this country that singles out QPR as a case of good practice.
You rarely see, hear or read anything bad about Chris Ramsey except from QPR fans on social media and message boards. While accepting that first team manager wasn't the job for him - classic QPR of employing a great person in the right role and then shuffling him into the wrong job in a short term panic - I still don't think he did as badly at it as some people make out. The stick he got then, and this ongoing lingering idea that he's only here because he's Les' mate, he must be rubbish because some of the youth teams lose all the time, Tottenham mafia, black agenda etc etc seems to be obviously rubbish to me.
Interested on Smegma's perspective if he's around as he watches the youth set up far more than I do but Ramsey seems like a good egg we're lucky to have to me...
When threads turn to music I know I'm going to get a harder time than Ramsey! I currently listen to Brian's compatriots on Sky 389 like Mike English, Shaun Kirwan and the likes yeehaa! Still get a couple coming up but 20 yr ago the travelling Irish showbands up here were great, the Indians, Playboys etc. Did you ever see them, any of you Irish boys?
This is obviously a sit down concert it was always barn dances we went to and some were literally in cow sheds, brilliant nights and they knew how to keep the night going
