After Jamie Carragher’s comments about Aaron Ramsdale’s “grudging” applause at David Raya’s save, the goalkeeper’s father called the pundit a “disgrace”.
In his tweet, Nick Ramsdale said: “I don’t bet on playing golf the moment I see the game and it’s fine so I had a few beers but didn’t say anything offensive. “
“I was behind the Mirror, Sky Sports and then I thought everything had calmed down.
“And then Danny Murphy would give it for tenpence.
“I asked to broadcast talkSPORT to respond to what Carragher had said.
“But I said what I said in the heat of the moment, it wasn’t to debate it. I didn’t want to justify it. “
Nick Ramsdale came to the defense of his son’s character.
He said, “Aaron’s character is everything, everything, everything.
“He knows where he comes from, he knows who helped him and he knows you don’t just win with 11 players. . . Now it’s a team thing.
“You’re not in a bad mood. Like one of the most productive of all time, Conor Coady, you look at him for England with Tyrone Mings, they laughed and were satisfied and didn’t play.
“You want those kinds of people. Conor’s character is the same as Aaron’s.
“But if you don’t know people, how can you judge them?”
Aaron Ramsdale’s father has slammed two pundits following their comments about the Arsenal star.
Nick has criticised Jamie Carragher and Danny Murphy for the “unfounded” allegation they have made about their son.
The Sky Sports insider criticised Ramsdale for his ‘Oscar’ applause when rival goalkeeper David Raya made a save.
And he criticized Murphy for criticizing the “personal side. “
Fans have claimed that “Aaron Ramsdale’s days are numbered” after he was shocked to leave Arsenal by legend Ian Wright.
This summer, Ramsdale joined Wright, 60, for an interview on the Behind The Game podcast.
During the event, he talked about his focus and his interactions with the fans of the games.
He said, “If you ask me to be at a football game for 90 minutes, I’m done. I can’t do it. “
“That’s why I’m with the enthusiasts and I’ll sing along with the songs.
“If he mistreats me, I turn around and give him some back.
“I had my two or three crazy minutes in my head, straight back to football.
“I’ve had 10/15 minutes of full concentration back; The next thing you know, halftime is coming. “
Some enthusiasts that this might have worried Mikel Arteta and led him to buy David Raya.
Nick Ramsdale has hinted that David Raya will remain at Arsenal for the long term.
The Spaniard is on a season-long loan with the Gunners and there is reportedly £27m to make the move permanent.
Aaron Ramsdale’s father said, “You’ve got to give the guy [Raya] a favor, for God’s sake.
“Although the way it was done, in my opinion, is a mistake and we can communicate it, it’s the decision.
“We really, really love David Raya. He’s part of the family now.
“Let it only be until May-June next year. Possibly not, in my opinion it will take more time, but it is a question of accuracy.
Aaron Ramsdale’s father, Nick, says his son has still been told he’s the second goalkeeper.
Nick questioned: “Aaron will be the keeper of the cup and David Raya will be the important player unless an injury or a sending off happens.
“Aaron has to live with this and he lives with it even though no one told him.
Nick Ramsdale says he and his son were shocked when they learned Arsenal wanted to sign David Raya from Brentford.
The goalkeeper’s father revealed a verbal exchange between him and Mikel Arteta and claimed that the Arsenal manager made it clear to him that he was only looking for his son.
This is said to have come after Raya’s agent recently stated that his consumer was a long-term movement target for the Gunners.
Nick said: “When I spoke to Mr Arteta on the phone before signing Aaron, he said he was looking for Aaron.
“But now, you know, David Raya is back on the market and he’s got Raya.
“No, we had no idea, I had no idea, our circle of relatives had no idea.
“Aaron had no idea he wasn’t going to keep playing. “
Nick Ramsdale says his son is still focused on Arsenal winning the league and is doing his best to stay positive, saying: “Raya is a wonderful goalkeeper and it’s not his fault.
“Raya,” Aaron says, “is a lovely guy and works hard with him and Aaron seeks him out as much as he can to have compatibility on the team.
“Maybe that’s how he did it. I don’t know why, and it’s me because we don’t know why.
“Once again, Aaron is running the best he can.
“He’s looking to do his thing for the team.
“He’s positive and he’ll do everything he can to help Arsenal win the league. “
Aaron Ramsdale’s father says his son finds life difficult as a No. 2 goalkeeper.
Nick said: “Aaron lost that smile when he was holding that ball at the time.
“And it’s hard. It’s hard to see him there and we keep saying keep smiling. “
Aaron Ramsdale’s father says his son has “lost his smile” after criticising Mikel Arteta’s control following the Arsenal goalkeeper’s retirement.

With Ramsdale limited to Carabao Cup matches.
Martin Odegaard did not report to the Norwegian national team before two European qualifiers.

Mikel Arteta and Arsenal fans were furious when Gordon’s goal allowed them to lose 1-0 to Newcastle.
Gabriel Jesus is expected to return to the Brazil squad despite injury considerations at Arsenal.
The sensitive striker has not played for the Gunners since joining Sevilla last month.
But Brazilian coach Fernando Diniz decided to call him up anyway in the hope that he would have enough compatibility to play for the Samba Boys.
The South Americans will assess Jesus with their own medical team before making a decision, similar to what England did with Bukayo Saka in the last foreign break.
Arsenal reportedly have a resolution for Borussia Dortmund star Julian Brandt.
Brandt inspired Newcastle in the Champions League and, according to The Mirror, the Gunners are keen to bring the 27-year-old to the Emirates.
However, they may not be the only ones unable to sign the German foreigner, as Newcastle themselves are said to be interested in signing him as well.
Arsenal will see their next five games after the break as a favourable run.
The Gunners are just one point off the top of the Premier League table and are still in the Champions League round of 16.
Aaron Ramsdale’s father said his son had “lost his smile” since David Raya took over his post on purpose for the Emirates.
Raya has been Mikel Arteta’s number one pick at Arsenal this season, and Ramsdale has been warming the bench lately.
And it turns out that Ramsdale was hit hard, but his father insists that he still works like a true professional.
Speaking at The Highbury Squad, he said: “Aaron lost that smile when he was holding that ball at the time.
“And it’s hard. It’s hard to see him there and we keep saying keep smiling. “
He went on to say, “Aaron works as hard as he can. He’s trying to do what he can for the team. He’s positive and he’ll do everything he can for Arsenal to win the league. “
Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi was reportedly killed in January.
According to Football. London, the Gunners could push for a deal in January after long-term interest in the midfielder.
But it would probably not be easy to let him off the control of the Company after signing a new contract last year that binds him to Anoeta until 2027.
However, it is understood that the Spanish foreigner has a release clause valued at £52 million, which Arsenal could consult to activate.
Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu will reportedly bolster their midfield following Thomas Partey’s new injury.
Aaron Ramsdale has his place between the sticks for Arsenal against David Raya.
And with euros on the horizon, there has been plenty of speculation about a possible departure from the Emirates in search of time to play.
And movement guru Fabrizio Romano has refused to rule out the option of Ramsdale leaving the Gunners, but he doesn’t think it’s for Chelsea.
I think it’s an option because it’s not played but it’s not guaranteed either, it’s not easy, goalkeepers move when there’s a domino effect and at the moment we don’t see that effect, and in the January transfer window clubs don’t do that. Change the goalkeeper.
Ramsdale needs to play even more from what I’ve heard, he’s also willing to fight for his place. I can also assure you that he is not a target for Chelsea and that they will not sign a goalkeeper in January.

“But it seems like we haven’t noticed genuine City this season and they’re still the best in the league. When you look at this ranking, it’s a wonderful ranking.
Mikel Arteta has complained scathingly about VAR and refereeing following his side’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle.
But after the Gunners’ 3-1 win over Burnley at the weekend, Arteta praised the referees.
Although Fabio Vieira was sent off, the Spanish coach was delighted with the referees’ decision-making.
Please ask me about VAR because it’s good. I hope to be able to say on TV that the referees are very good, that I am absolutely with them and that I am very constructive.
You have to ask me about the VAR, it’s perfect. Magnificent, the referee and the VAR were first-rate. Let’s also put a little humor in and move on.
