Cobra Posted 18 October 2019 Report Share Posted 18 October 2019 None of us want to see violence at games, and DFC do not have a reputation for being involved in violence, but I just wondered what people remember from the past. The Clydebank game sticks in my mind. I watched it on Scotsport (midweek I think) incredulous at the scenes. The crazy thing is we didn't (as far as I'm aware) get punished. Anyone recall violent scenes from the past involving Dees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkBlues Posted 18 October 2019 Report Share Posted 18 October 2019 The time arsehole United fans invaded the pitch and one of them decided to attacked big Rab and got more than he bargained for. It was the 100th Dundee Derby match which we won too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Posted 18 October 2019 Author Report Share Posted 18 October 2019 I followed Dundee during the casuals era but don't remember seeing any violence. The two times I saw fighting was the one time I went to a United v Aberdeen game (my only visit to Tannadice when Dundee weren't playing) and Scotland v England (the last ever Rous Cup game).

The day that we beat Celtic was a day I remember. Was only a young lad and I had never witnessed anything like what I saw that day. Battles between Dundee and Celtic fans down Dens Road.

Who would have thought that Dundee visiting East End Park in the 1970s would regularly lead to a flare-up of violence? A select number of older Dees hold onto these memories and it's great when they share stuff. It's good to focus on the positive things that happened on the park but football in the 1970s and 80s was a violent time and we don't really talk about that.

Cobra Posted 18 October 2019 Author Report Share Posted 18 October 2019 I'm sure Dundee had a group of casuals back in the 1980s. Did they arrange fights with other sets of fans? Somebody on here must remember what went on. It doesn't reflect badly on the club in 2019 so I don't think it matters talking about it now. Those scraps were part of football back in the day.

HK Blues Posted 19 October 2019 Report Share Posted 19 October 2019 We featured in the Danny Dyer documentary The Real Football Factory. Basically, we united with Utd to create a combined squad. A relative of a relative did jail time as a Dundee Casual. This was after my time going to away games but I always remember trouble at Easter Road. I also remember very well the Celtic game John mentioned above - the one and only time I felt genuinely scared at a game. A fair few incidents at Ibrox - remember with a smile our window being broken at Parkhead and a while later Tosh McKinlay passed the bus - "They panned oor windae in Tosh" shouted one of the guys - I'm sure Tosh could see that for himself! A few guys were pissing out of it on the road home - happy days! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
