Shandon Par Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) Ross McArthur.. “I am extremely disappointed to have to release the following statement, particularly as the subject matter below has proven to be an unnecessary distraction today on the eve of a very important cup match at Ibrox Stadium tomorrow evening. However, as ever I wish our own supporters to be fully aware of the facts, and put to bed some of the ludicrous accusations that have been put to me today by the wider media. "Like most other SPFL clubs, we were contacted a couple of weeks ago by a number of supporters asking for our club to make a public statement following the review of the recent Rangers Tax Case. "Myself and my fellow board members took the decision not to do so, as our business practice since taking over the club from the administrators, has always been not to comment on any matters that do not adversely affect Dunfermline Athletic Football Club today. "As a club, we still have a lot of bridges to rebuild. However, out of courtesy I believe you should always take the time to respond to someone who has written to our club. Therefore, I liaised with my fellow Board member (and Supporter Liaison Officer), Drew Main and we individually responded to each person who wrote to us. Most of the emails we received were from DAFC supporters, some were not. "In our reply, we tried to be honest as we could and to make the point that we felt it would be entirely hypocritical of us to try and make any mileage by commenting on another Scottish football club, as our own club had itself already brought Scottish football into disrepute, when it went into administration in 2013, and we had to be mindful we were in no position to take the moral high ground. "Without spelling that out, clearly if DAFC could not pay its own staff, players, other clubs and HMRC then most reasonable people would understand that you have brought the game into disrepute. "Last week I was then contacted by the SFA, as one of the recipients of the email had clearly not been satisfied with our reply, or was attempting to create an issue, and had asked our governing body to investigate further. "I can confirm that the SFA sent me one email, which I fully responded to the same day, explaining that the recipient was either attempting to make mileage in some way, or had taken our reply out of context. There has been no further dialogue between DAFC and the SFA. "I can also confirm that there was never at any time, reference to former managers, other clubs or previous matches – this is totally spurious. "There are a lot of positive things happening in Scottish football, and there a lot of good people within our respective clubs and at our governing bodies who are working very hard to promote and showcase our national game, and it is disappointing that everyone cannot focus their energy into looking forward, rather than trying to constantly undermine the credibility of our game”. ------------- Edited August 9, 2017 by Shandon Par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armand 2 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Some more pandering to the masses from Aird. I presume this heed-the-baw doesn't have an agent to whisper in his ear that it might be better to distance himself from such chat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smpar Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 It's as if there are only two clubs in Scotland. When have you ever read an article about a 'boyhood' St Johnstone fan emotionally returning to McDiarmid Park for the first time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really see what's so wrong with what he's saying, it's no secret he's a Rangers fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You never hear of a Dunfermline loving player going to play for Falkirk and then having mixed emotions about playing against us. You're either 100% invested in trying to win for us or f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Why does he even support rangers he's Canadian. Parents are Rangers fans apparently. "...but just in case folk had forgotten, let's publish an article in a Glasgow paper reminding everyone of how big a Rangers fan I am". Who's to say the Glasgow paper hasn't went asking for him? In which case his answer of "I'm a Rangers fan, it'll be weird but I'm a Dunfermline player now" is as reasonable as one could hope for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Aird not even in the squad, probably in the Louden bar. Hope it's a contract where you have a 14 day cooling off period and you can cancel it with no penalty........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
