Personally, I always said Ramage was out of his depth in the Premiership.
He was no great loss when he left.
The Queens Park Rangers defender has lost his place under Jim Magilton, and has not appeared in the side since August.
No shock there then!
Ramage: “It’s been frustrating, and I’ve been itching to get on. If I start, I’ll be looking forward to it more than any of the other.
“Everyone knows what Newcastle means to me.
“If I’m not playing, I’ll be supporting my team-mates and trying to gee them up.
“It’s an old cliche, but it’s not about me. It’s about the team getting a result. If I play, then great.
“This is the fixture I looked for – I didn’t care about the others!
“But it’s not only myself, but the other lads as well.
“Newcastle’s a Premier League team, and it’s like drawing them in the cup.”
