It isn't that simple. If something isn't deemed racist/sectarian etc by the courts I'm not sure how a footballing body can decide it is. If a club/player thinks they are being unfairly treated they are still allowed to go above that body. It's a bit of a minefield to them really but if they were ever to try and clamp down on it.
It is that simple: if either of the two OF clubs went to court to argue against a football authority charge which involved sectarian behaviour, as soon as they took such an action it would underline what we all know. That is, both clubs rely on bigots in a large way for their incomes. And these two know it.

I think deciphering what is and isn't sectarian is an absolute minefield. Not even the courts can agree on it so absolutely no chance the SPFL could either.
It doesn't matter what the courts can't agree on: the SPFL/SFA can impose penalties on clubs as and when they see fit.
They're shit scared to do so in the case of the Glasgow Twins.

Goodwin has a year left on his contract.
I reckon we should cash in and try to sell him on for a fee just now...
I'm thinking you mean Ross Docherty, but it'd be good to get a fee for Goodwin.

Is there a list somewhere of who is out of contract at the end of the season?
You should find unconfirmed information here:

Beware: Birighitti is still on the list.

I hope supporters don't do a pitch invasion in the event of a home win. Leaving aside the wee embarrassment in doing that, it may prevent players from getting a deserved applause from the fans.
But on the plus side, if numbers do go on the pitch, it'll be easier to get out the ground and into the pub.

Brighton, Brentford and now Liverpool linked with the club in partnership/takeover
The Liverpool link is tenuous at best, a stats company has made a calculation and contacted the media, I doubt Liverpool's owners FSG have any involvement in this tale.

Sadly the term "old firm" died in 2012 when the old Rangers failed to pay the old

Going to this game with huge anticipation: just in case, I'll also make sure I get to the Elgin match. If the Warriors can keep up the uncertain form should the Bonnyrigg game on 27th be pencilled in too?
Ref for Saturday appears to be Ryan Lee, who has covered 4 Warriors' games this season, 3 wins (Stranraer away, and home wins v Forfar and Dumbarton), and the game nobody went to, a defeat against a B side in the Challenge Cup.

A full page about The Mighty Dee on a dab page when they've just won the most important game of their season.
It's all about Dundee FC
I've been on the other side of Australia: is your side really boring?

Was very confident prior to the games, more so when I saw the team selection from Raith....(why was Hamilton not playing instead of Rudden, or Byrne instead of Turner?) but when I noted McClelland was making a debut appearance inside young Thomson, my bravado took a wee knock, and I feel if Rovers had got an early goal United may well have collapsed.
Watt changed that with his fine finish, and I don't think United really looked in any danger after that.
In other matches, Raith had impressed me with their midfield performances, but that was missing today. Often this season, I've criticised Goodwin for overthinking team choices, but it appears Murray was the guilty party this afternoon.
Nonetheless, Goodwin was forced into playing an unfamiliar defence, and that turned out to be to United's advantage: no fannying about at the back from Ross Graham and Sam McClelland.

More so if they're a Utd fan.
The proverbial own goal if you will.
I doubt he is, given several previous posts he made.
To the game: if I was anybody but a United fan, I'd be wanting Rovers to win this, in the same way I rooted for QP, Arbroath and dare I say it, Dundee, over the last 3 seasons.

Speaking to someone in the know, the drop in tickets is due to requests from police to leave the front 6 rows clear as they fear the potential of Raith fans on the pitch should they win. Whether that is justified or not that is what United have been advised and what has been passed to Raith.
As such, it is a drop in tickets from previous game, but similar number to what away fans should be getting in the Fair Play Enclosure, but that is shut until the summer when some maintenance is planned, as home fans were supposed to be behind the goal.
A good bit earlier in this thread, folk were shooting down the possibility of Police Scotland having any say in operational issues at Tannadice, even although every single game in the SPFL has to have an appointed 'Event Policing Lead'. The more high profile the match, the more the police will get involved in advance. It's easier than catching criminals.
I've little doubt you'll get shot down for writing this, so I'll emphasise it needn't have turned out this way, as United could have foreseen the end of the season could have placed demands on the capacity limits they've contributed to by their decision to close off the Fair Play Stand.

Agree with @Tannadeechee above, nonetheless I've spoken to fans who have sat behind Goodwin at away games, and contrary to the majority view that he's negative and does little during matches to influence players and the game, they insist he is positive, coaxing the team forward, encouraging faster movement on the ball, and talking specific players through the game.
I've not witnessed that, and don't think Goodwin will ultimately be at Tannadice for long, yet there's no reason, you'd think, for these fans to make this up.

Aye, did he not quit football as he was going to make more money in the polis? A scorer in a European Cup semi final as well. Different times
Looked back at his timeline: Derek Stark was eventually forced to quit due to persistent knee problems over the whole of his final season, 83-84. A cartilage cyst finally ended his football career. He had looked to join the police a couple of seasons earlier, and left the club briefly, but had then signed his first full time contract in 1982.
Stark had signed as a 16 year old in 1975, and remained part time, working as a coachbuilder until 1981.

Utd team of 87, or 83, in their latest colours, including PC Stark.
83. PC Stark scored against Roma and played his last ever game that same month.

Montrose giving Falkirk 3,400 tickets (which we've already sold more than 2k of) for a game just up the road on the same day shows United's decision has nothing to do with the police and everything to do with them shiteing the bed
Thanks for your expert insight. Or are you simply hijacking this match to have a crowd w**k?

Bit of an own goal that:
To be fair, it applies more to United than Dundee this season.

Clearly, that's not what I've written. No mention of appeals from me, and if you think the board at Parkhead are in agreement with the "sentiments" expressed by some Celtic fans in song and deed, you've been living on the moon.
