PolarBear Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 Have actually met the guy who the song " He hates coppers" was made for, Harry Roberts. Old time crook who served almost 50 years for killing three coppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Sensible Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 You can get idiots out on any day or night , easy in hindsight, but if he’s been out all day on the lash, for me it’s not a wise move... Rumour doing the rounds is that he had a pint thrown on him....how true that is, is anyone’s guess..,, We just don’t need this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, you do realise that 'Braes' is down the bottom of the Perth Rd closer to the Nethergate, I can assure that the pubs down there are not 'dead' on Sunday evenings.

From my experience it's rare to find the Braes quiet on any night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dens Bound Rhino Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 Personally don't think this is too big a deal tbh. He definitely shouldn't be getting involved with things like this, bit he has and we'll just have to deal with it. Doesn't set a great example for the players but until we know the full story, which we probably will now, then no point in speculation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mev Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 Being charged doesn't mean a person is guilty. All it means is that there is sufficient evidence for the police to submit a report to the procurator fiscal. It's actually the PF who decides if the case is taken further. If the complainer is someone who had a number of friends with them then it would be highly likely their evidence would favour the complainer's version of events. It's often only at court that the full story comes out when the defence solicitor is able to question those who made the complaint. The police aren't solicitors and shouldn't take sides. If there is evidence then they have to submit a report. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Drummer Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 Let's out this into perspective. He hasn't been charged. Even if he has, innocent till proven guilty. I 100% think he has discussed this with Nelms before the interview. He is a a human being. We don't own him, he is allowed to go out. He was hardly in a nightclub at 4am before a match. Any idiot saying he shouldn't be out when we aren't playing great is a clown. Should Thomas Cook employees have been working day and night to save the businsss? Again, stop being a clown. Yes it doesn't look great but he hasn't actually been charged so it's not a problem right now. You can't praise the amazing relationships we have as rivals then say he shouldn't be drinking in Dundee. Dundee is his home. He lives here. His wife and child live here. He has made Dundee his home so he is allowed to live. 24 7 he doesn't live at Dens. Get a grip. A player/manager/owner/coach can go out and do go out daily and weekly all over the country. Of course its only a problem when you hear about it due to an innocent. I was in Ibiza, in a private beach party when an idiot out of no where punched a rangers player. This was in close season. In a private party. Should he not be allowed on holiday incase a fruitcake starts? I've had players and formar players in the boozer before. Dundee fans don't care when they are buying them a pint and getting a picture. Only when they aren't being paraded as a show pony for your benefit and getting a selfie. Perspective. Yes it's not great. But football employees are not immune to innocents in society. If you think they are your a clown. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueboy Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 Really, if he's had a pint thrown on him, who wouldn't go mad? Provocation has to come into it. We need to know all the facts. A bunch of Arab witnesses no doubt. We'll see what happens eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Densderry75 Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 McPake blatantly lying about the incident makes me question his values as a person. We should get rid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sensible Posted 10 October 2019 Report Share Posted 10 October 2019 (edited) I don’t get this fantastic relationship we seem to have with Arabs... Anyone walking up Isla street before the last derby would have seen a different side to things.... Most fans do get on, but a minority don’t , especially on a matchday. But it’s a myth the press love to report... Of course the guy has to have a life, but he lives in a goldfish bowl here in Dundee but there are utter idiots on both sides who see the employees of each club as targets, hopefully nothing comes of this sad episode, but it’s something the club could have done without.
