Another needless red card for him. First yellow was for disputing a two footed tackle and compounded this by kicking ball away. Second yellow for another needless reckless tackle. Needs to go to anger management classes, otherwise can only see more stupid yellow and red cards.

 

7 red cards this season - not great. That's more than Aberdeen, Dundee Utd and Inverness put together.

 

And that was Ramsden's 3rd red card in 1 and a bit seasons - also not great.

I'm sure he'll be getting dealt with as the club see fit. Fines alone won't necessarily change his behaviour, in the heat of the moment you're not (and shouldn't be) wondering how much the tackle you're about to launch into might cost you this week.

Think the problem yesterday was he was playing on the unfamiliar side and tackled with the wrong foot. He did OK at left back except when he went to ground. However our greater disciplinary issue is a concern. Too many red cards costing us games and players that are totally unnecessary.

And yet Dundee United and Inverness are two very physical sides who throw their weight around. Inverness were lucky indeed yesterday not to pick up 2 straight reds.

He does play with a scowl on his face and certainly doesn't hold back. Comes into the category of 'hairy arsed defender' which is exactly what we do need. He challenges in the air too. Hopefully he's learned by yesterday's stupid red card.

Poor signing. The wrong type of player for McCall to have signed as an alleged selling club. Zero potential of punting the guy on for money, often crocked and often suspended. Versatility a plus but this is negated by how often he is not available to pick. Basically, a decent squad player who has been forced to play as a regular. Too many squad guys like that getting too many starts for us this year - Reid, Law etc

Disagree entirely. This time last season he was a contender for player of the year and was instrumental in us getting second place. He hasn't had a good season this season but he's not alone.

Not every player we sign has to be based on the ability to make money on, sometime we need to sign someone who may add experience or balance to the squad without necessarily with a view to a profit. Other selling teams are not averse to adding someone with no sell on value either

He put in a horror tackle in the Dundee game that I've seen red cards given for. His 1st yellow on Saturday was a particularly bad tackle, yet ironically he appeared to get booked for the dissent rather than the tackle.

 

As someone said, always injured or suspended.

He needs anger management classes. Last week against Dundee his booking was for a dreadful tackle that came just after he made a mistake and was arguing with his team mates. Then the first yellow against ITC was after him and McManus went for the same ball and the two of them were having words then he lunged in on the guy cos he was still raging with McManus. I think he would have got away with that but he was so pissed off he booted the ball away and I am sure that what the Yellow was for. The second yellow I missed cos someone was leaving and standing in front of me when it happened. Needs to calm down as he does have something to offer but not at left back, he kept getting dragged inside following the ball especially in the first half against ITC.
