youngsy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The money is irrelevant, United could have drawn any team so it doesn't really matter. The fact is that the sevco owner, with the full backing of the board, put in place a boycott of the United game because he/they don't like United. Unprecedented and completely hilarious. If you're comfortable with it then nae bother, the rest of us are watching comedy gold and the more we watch the funnier it gets. Again i'll ask;if the money is irrelevant why this big furore about Rangers not accepting tickets and the support groups asking for a boycott? All you're watching is fans of other clubs,your own included,getting wound up about something that at the moment doesn't affect them,why is that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason Boyne Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Nice twist on words,as well as a bigoted,hate filled post. So we're all bigots are we? So what you're saying that if something doesn't meet with your opinion as re; Rangers boycott that person is a bigot and vicious. You've let your feelings get in front of you there. Anyway as far as supporting my team,again i'll say,without a shadow of a doubt i'll watch them at Ibrox in a Scottish Cup game v an SPL team,knowing full well that the other team gets 50%,i won't like giving it too them but i will accept that. What i won't do is go to these grounds in the same cokpetition or indeed a league game irrespective of whether they get 50% or not. Hope that sits ok with you,if it doesn't too bad. Lost the place a bit there haven't you with your rant. Guys got issues Youngsy , think a rangers supporters bus gang banged his Mrs (the supporters , not the bus) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngsy Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 The furore, as you refer to it, is because the CLUB has called a boycott. The Amigos, I can understand, but I would have thought you were bright enough to see the difference. The club issued that statement after speaking to the support groups and being informed that many supporters clubs would not be taking up their intake of away tickets. I will say that i was surprised at the content of the statement,i was expecting something on the lines of;because there isn't a demand from the support the club won't accept,however at the end of the day,the supporters,or the vast majority,are not accepting tickets for the game,so at this moment the boycott stands. Whether Dundee United or fans of other clubs disagree with that is neither here nor there,the supporter clubs have the right to reject tickets,that's what they've done. So leaving aside the clubs statement,what issue has anyone got about the supporters clubs rejecting their uptake of tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you're watching is fans of other clubs,your own included,getting wound up about something that at the moment doesn't affect them,why is that? If you're comfortable with it then good for you. I can only speak for myself but I'm not wound up about it at all, I don't have any connection to United. What's funny is the boycott from Sevco board, unprecedented (I'll add pretentious as well) and hilarious. What next; armageddon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Fitlike Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Too fucking right we will. Aberdeen Fans For Sporting integrity - did you forget? Or just want to forget. Sponsored an Annan player and a mascot or two for fellow diddy clubs. Then chucked it. Now, of course, your club of ne'er-do-wells are busy sucking Liewell's boaby - that's scoffing integrity. naw, it iznae 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you're watching is fans of other clubs,your own included,getting wound up about something that at the moment doesn't affect them,why is that? As stated above, there wouldn't be an issue if it was a section of the fans who chose to boycott and that was it. The fact is your club, from boardroom to playing staff have decided to take the step of: 1. Refusing tickets for a game. Making it potentially impossible for a Rangers fan to attend the game. 2. Asking Rangers fans not to travel to Dundee for the game. 3. Asking Dundee United not to sell Rangers fans any tickets. The reason people are getting wound up is the see a club tarnishing the name of the Scottish game through their actions. They see a club so arrogant, showing disrespect to the premier cup competition in Scotland. Bringing the game into disrepute. Lets not forget how your club has acted over the last 25 years, the blatant diregard for other clubs, opposition fans and the game in general. With what has happenned in the last year, in the internet age, do you honestly expect the rest of scottish football just to sit back and chuckle away saying "oh those silly bears, aren't they such a giggle with their boycott." What gives the club any sort of right to stand in the way and do everything it can, to prevent fans who want to attend, attending the game? The club should have an obligation to its fans to provide the tickets to those who want to attend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I'm finding it utterly astonishing how quickly the P&Bers have changed their minds on fans boycotts United wouldn't let it go and a section of our fan base has decided not to go to a game of football, no big deal so get over it P&Bers. Besides with the help of their SPL friends they'll still manage to fill Tannadice so whats the f**king issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club should have an obligation to its fans to provide the tickets to those who want to attend. You've put it more eloquently than me, Dave, but I think we agree. This situation is not one to be giggling about. This club has arrogantly decided that its wounded pride, victim status, or whatever entitles them to ride roughshod over our National Game. If the club's statement isn't seen as bringing the game into disrepute, then I don't know what is. Maybe they're too busy chasing the likes of Kenny Shiels for telling the truth... Youngsy, understand what I say. The actions over the years by rangers have defined the club as a bigoted institution. The actions of the new club seem even more targeted at currying favour with the "minority". Anyone who supports this behaviour tarnishes themselves by association. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennett Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Sorry Dave (not Dhens) but as our CEO said, there are issues regarding crowd trouble and safety concerns with this game. Dundee United was recently fined by Uefa i believe because of their fans beahviour in a Europa cup 'qualification' match. Refusing tickets is the correct decision here, safety has to come first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't say that. I'd also question why you are infering that Rangers aren't taking up their allocation because of safety fears for their fans Infact you aren't even infering, you are stating that rangers refused tickets over safety fears.

williemillersmoustache Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I don't mean this personally, but collectively - most people learn that, if you act like petulant cvnts, you'll be treated like petulant cvnts when they're at primary school. How come so many folk on here have never learned this lesson? If you deliberately go out of your way to deliver a totally unmerited F*ck You to innocent punters who have done you no wrong - and remember, it was your owners that killed your club, not the SPL - then everyone in the entire country is going to conclude that you're spiteful and not a little dense. If your club and fans also follow up that F*ck You with a series of extended lectures about how The Rangers Will Wreak Vengeance On All Who Have Wronged Them* and so on, people will conclude that you are even more spiteful and dense than they had previously suspected. And it's the going out of your way to be dicks part that's especially hilarious. Most folk will forgive people for occasionally acting like dicks, since we all have our foibles. Nobody likes people who go out of their way to act like dicks, though, and will avoid them if they have the chance. *The only people who have wronged them are their former owners, but they're conspicuously quiet about that - almost as if they'd rather gang up on some innocent punter than face up to their personal responsibilities. There's a few word sin the dictionary to describe that kind of behaviour. I liked this so much I greenied them both 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yer old club died. The shyster in charge of the new club wants you to buy shares in the company which will take over the holding company which owns the bricks and mortar of the old club (but not the players because he's a fuckwit). There are a load of known names/companies willing to underwrite the offer with a miniscule percentage of their investment budget should there not be enough DLA/crisis loans to cover. Charlie is going to f**k off sharpish in the new year. Enjoy next season (whichever honest team you decide to follow)* *Just don't make it Killie. We could do without the increased cleaning budget. HTH I've had your team on the phone to me to see if i'd go to the Celtic game, they even tried to flog me a calender. They're worse than the PPI tpyes.

What's really needed then is for Dundee United fans to boycott the game as well, so Rangers get 40% of diddly squat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
