"It is with huge disappointment that we read both the content and tone of the statement from Rangers, stating that they will not be taking any tickets for our Scottish Cup tie in February and urging their supporters not to attend," said United. "However, we do not intend to enter into a war of words with Rangers or to dignify their position by responding in kind. "We have noted their decision not to take any tickets for this cup tie and will now act accordingly in arranging the match. The statement from the Rangers makes it clear that their fans should not attend. "We have therefore raised a number of related matters with the Scottish FA and will be making no further public statement until their advice has been received." The ArabTRUST and The Federation of Dundee United Supporters Clubs said they believed Rangers' stance brought them into disrepute. In response, the United supporters' joint statement said: "In a time when Scottish football needs to look to the future and how we can rebuild our game, it's sad that some parties choose to refer to past alleged indiscretions against their club as an excuse to not attend the match. "In the instances referred to by Rangers supporters, a court of law decided that Dundee United had acted appropriately in respect of ticketing post the abandoned game in 2009. "As for the decision by the SPL to take action against Rangers in the summer, this was made by the majority of clubs - not only Dundee United. "We believe that the stance taken by Rangers brings them into disrepute in respect of the Scottish Cup. "We therefore call on the SFA to act strongly, in particular by stating that the normal competition rules in respect of an equal split of gate money do not apply in this case and that all revenues should be retained by Dundee United." They added: "We call on all Arabs to pack Tannadice and get behind the team in February."
Medro will ignore the question or go googling to find some other Rule they may have broken sometime in the recent past.
All I see is a list of rules, none of which Utd have broken so far as I can see, it would be far simpler if you just told us which rules they have broken... so far.
If I, a rangers fan, don't give a **** about the gate money. Why does a taig give a **** about the gate money? A dilemma.
So they won't dignify Rangers' position by issuing a response........said in a statement they made today
I don't, in fact on this occasion I can sort of agree with Rangers fans boycotting Tannadice, it's their choice completely and I have not criticised the decision, nor have I criticised Chuck Green for following suit, he had no real choice but to try and live up to his bombast and that could only be achieved by seeing to have supported their wishes. What does tickle me though is that he obviously saw a chance to make money out of Utd and back the fans by asking for a share of the gate money, he is clearly convinced it is Rangers' money by right. It appears to be backfiring so i've allowed myself a laugh. I like a laugh.
We've been sharing 50,000 gates with diddy clubs for years. Dev go and celebrate ffs. Get off the 3rd division board.
