Obviously it''s their own premises and they can choose who they let in but it just doesn't seem right to me that a club can unilaterally censor the media in this way.
What about fans being banned for expressing themselves when their emotions get the better of them at games? Isn't this a form of censorship? Boyd is a former pro and played for the huns - he should know better than most how easy it is to wind up OF fans. Should he be allowed to say and write what he likes because he is part of the media? Of course, this is Scotland - the OF including their former players can target who they want and say what they like without fear of punishment. It makes me sick. And the establishment allow it to continue. Well done Dundee for standing up to this pr1ck.
