Heartsmad1874 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Appear to have identified celtic fans trying to buy tickets in the home section. Fair play for being pro active and not just letting it happen. Why someone would want to sit in a different section to their own team is bizarre anyway. https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/7311/STATEMENT-DUNDEE-UNITED-V-CELTIC-TICKETS.html Edited May 9, 2022 by Heartsmad1874 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasavallan Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 The trouble with the Celtic support (and their a*se cheek siblings) is that they have a large machine in place to obtain, or forge, tickets for away games that most clubs do not have the infrastructure to counter. I remember my ticketless bluenose colleague (an intelligent man otherwise) saying that he (and his brother) obtained tickets for Manchester 2008 UEFA final by mugging some drunks of their tickets. Callous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Theyll get in. Guy I work with has only missed 1 Derby in the last 6 years at ER. He's never had a ticket to access the away end.

Even going back to the 80s, I wish clubs, including us, had taken a harder line with interlopers but I can understand why they didnt.

Andrew Gilbert Wauchope Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Never been in an away end but, in the 80s, I once drove up from Sheffield with a weegie Celtic-supporting mate, each with a ticket for our own section. We parked on London Road and my mate insisted we have a pint in the Celtic supporters club there. I had my Hearts scarf in my inside coat pocket. All going ok until he came back from the bar chatting to another of his mates, handed me a pint and said "do you not notice that when you're watching Hearts". Luckily, the volume of noise was such that even I could barely hear him, the stupid *******. Never been back to Parkhead since. Life's too short.

Apparently the historical reason is that hundreds of Irish immigrants moved to Dundee to work in the jute industry. The majority settled in Lochee and nicknamed it Little Ireland. Locals for a long time said that Lochee was different from Dundee. Much like Leith and Edinburgh. Might not be completely historically accurate but that's the jiste of it.

I think I was in Kelly's for less than 15 minutes, total, and it was about 15 minutes too long. Should really have twigged by the existence of Lochee Harp that the area was Selliky.

I was at the Aberdeen end when they beat celtic 3-1 in the final when a young Martin Buchan was the aberdeen captain. Midway during the 2nd half, a group of around 100 young celtic neds stormed the barrier and made their way behind the goals to do battle with the aberdeen supporters. It was splendid. They took an absolute battering from the aberdeen supporters and the polis. The whole episode probably took less than 3 minutes. They were frogmarched out the ground to face the scales of justice but not before aberdeen scored again to complete their misery. Buchan's performance won him a transfer to Man Utd.
