Deestruction Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I lost it this morning in work when my boss (and uncle) came in reading that and brought it up to me. Felt the need to launch this email at them. Dear Mr Neville,As a reader of your newspaper since my teenage years, I was mortified to see your (front page headline) coverage of the fans in the South Enclosure at Dens.The 2 articles, which contain serious allegations, which lead to Football Banning Orders is ludicrous. Sectarianism has by, and large been eradicated from Dens Park, and more specifically the "Derry" through self policing by the fans. To see your newspaper alleging not just football fans from the covering area, but general citizens of sectarianism and even hooliganism is nothing short of reprehensible.I have been a Season Ticket holder with the club since childhood, my first in fact being in the South Enclosure as an 8 year old boy, and I believe the number of racist, bigoted, or hooligan fans has dropped. On the few occasions of which I have heard or seen an "incident" which many deem inappropriate, I've then witnessed fellow supporters urging (often in very blunt terms) that person to have a look at themselves and their actions.To be frank, as I have this whole e-mail it appears in hindsight, your newspaper has defamed over 1000 people who every second week back their club to the hilt, within the law, and within expected standards. I expect a full rebuttal to be offered in tomorrows edition, or you can be sure that many like myself will feel aggrieved and will consider their future purchases of your once respectable newspaper. I'll leave you with these two results, of which goals weren't scored;Dundee 1-6 Aberdeen and Dundee 1-19 Aberdeen, I think it's pretty clear to see where the problem is most weeks, and it isn't within the South Enclosure.Yours,J**** K****. If they c***s think they can get away with making up shite allegations (and printing them, with quotes and photos of 4 Arabs) then they can get right to f**k. On the back of painting football fans in the city with the same brush as the wankers who masquerade as football fans to start fights as the Dundee Utility, I think it's fair game if not just Derry-boys but both sets of fans called them on this shite. Seeing my photo in the Tele next to those allegations made me fuucking sick. I hope that DCTs chickens come home to roost. Shower of p***ks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deemons Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Some form of protest should be done in my opinion, they want it to have no atmosphere let's do it, no singing or noise from the derry when the players come out at the start of the game! Everyone holding up a red card, "no to racism and sectarianism..." Then maybe at another time during the game a different coloured card for a "f*ck you" to the tele and the courier! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Man Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 My head well and truly went when I read that article his morning. I composed an email to the editor on the back of it asking for the proof of this sectarian and racist chanting. These are both criminal offences and for them to present it as fact with no back up is disgusting. I also asked further questions about racist chanting at Tannadice RE Morgaro Gomis and the serious incidinces of football violence at Tannadice which occurs whenever an Eastern European team come calling and any coverage they gave these. It was a seething mess of an email!The club really need to come up with a statement here but I've no great confidence that they will. 1 Dundee fan made a disgusing comment about Eddie Thompson and the club issued an official apology within a couple of hours, now a whole section of our support is being targeted by the local media with blatant lies and the club need to step up.

invergowrie arab Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 So you not still have your red card to the spl cards that the Tele gave you regarfing the points deduction when they definitely weren't tricking you into displaying a free huge advert for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoomer Brown Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 how could anyone dare suggest that a group of fans who call themselves "The Derry" could be in any way sectarian? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhoenixOfTheAshes Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There are restrictions in publishing pictures which could show the individual in a negative light. A picture of fans celebrating with these headlines and lies should have implications. Tam Duthie's chief c**t in this heads gone material and i hope someone takes them doon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RawB93 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Laughable Just looked up Peter Hamilton on facebook and he is indeed an Arab....
