Admittedly, the handling of this abandonment wasn't the greatest PR triumph in United's history but - even putting club bias aside - the statements made in the last year by members of this supporters club smack of the arrogance one always associates with Rangers. So I chuckled when reading that costs have been awarded against the supporters club.

I love the way they get all paranoid , and say that others will need to speculate why it's been rejected when before they thought they had a chance . These Catholics get everyplace....

The Nithsdale Loyal are disappointed that we have lost our legal battle with Dundee United for justice over the disgusting treatment of fans regarding the abandoned game at Tannadice last season.


United should sue them for defamation or whatever.

"This is truly staggering and basically says that there is nothing to stop clubs getting a game stopped by whatever reason and charging fans again for the game to be played out at a later date



Where does it say that a club can just have a game called of for 'whatever' reason? As far as I'm aware, it's the referee that makes such decisions. I'm doubting that being 3-0 with 30 minutes to go, Houston can decide he's feeling a bit lethargic and can't be arsed anymore so decides to call it quits for the day and have another go next month some time.

The idea of that, or that someone thinks that can be the case is what I call 'truly staggering'.


Pay up chumps. :hat:

Of course, it didn't say anything of the sort. The claim was thrown out because the Supporters Club had no right or title to sue. I've not seen the judgement but I'd be amazed if the Sheriff even considered the merits of their action.

Seems the poor Rangers fans are no more clued up on their case today than they were when they launched this ridiculous action.

I seem to recall you being appalled by United's actions at the time. But appalled in the non legal sense, I presume?

Ah, yes, I was aware that the article didn't say anything of the sort, also that the claim was thrown out. my comments were purely on the fact that the quoted part of my post was a statement from the rangers supporters after the claim was throw out.

Considering they were only reclaiming £800, whatever it is will be a significant addition to what they already lost. Pity.

There are tears forming in my eyes, so I must be sad.

United should sue them for defamation or whatever.

Surely this was not yet another lie from the DUFC Chairman, after his over-valued claim of his club’s matchday costs which have now been declared in court as a lie.


Now that's defamation.

Yeah, I know.

I was agreeing with you, blud. Chill.

£800's a small claim and you never* get expenses in a small claim.






* Unless you're a f*cking bell-end who wastes the court's time with an entirely spurious, vexatious, feckless and misconceived claim. Aah.

Was I appalled? That might be overstating it but yes, I was disappointed.

I think the decision not to allow a discount for fans with ticket stubs was was unfair and wrong, morally at least. Particularly after promising that 'TICKET STUBS WILL BE VALID!' a hundred times on the way out the door.

Legally, I always knew their case was absolute horseshit.

Here we go, taken from another place.

No, the lowest court can't set a precedent. And, as United rightly point out, Glasgow Sheriff Court probably don't have jurisdiction for contracts formed in Dundee (although if all the Rangers fans bought the tickets over the phone then that's arguable). That's before you get to the substantive grounds which, without wanting to get all technical, are baws.

What a waste of sixty quid. Silly huns. :rolleyes:
