David Murray has apologised to both teams and stated that his comments were taken out of context by the press. Sorry to take the wind out of your sails but at no time did he refer to bigotry, just the abuse levied by both sets of fans at each other on internet forums.

While David Murray has now come out and apologised for his statement and saying he was taken "out of context" the fact is, the interview was "in the context " of discussing bigotry and sectarianism in Glasgow.To qaulify this with:-

?I was amazed to see what goes on between Dundee United and Dundee on the websites. In some of these websites it?s just as bad as Rangers and Celtic but because it?s not the west of Scotland it doesn?t get the same reviewing.?

he can't really complain of being taken out of context.

The Times reprters qoute in the article reads "Murray said Dundee and Dundee United were examples of clubs whose fans trade sectarian abuse on websites which is never mentioned in the media".

It's fairly obvious that he was trying once again to deflect attention away from his own front door but whilst there's plenty rivalry between the Dundee teams and at times some unofficial websites discussions can get heated (as can discussions on all websites) it's always kept in check with many from both sides in the same families and never ANY undertones of Sectarianism between the two.

Always the same with his sort, always excuses. Like Manchester - "It was the police's fault", "The russians started it", "It was only some of our fans", "They're not proper rangers fans".

Now he's giving it "But they do it too".

Have some f*ckin balls man and take responsibility. Maybe he should hire brew, both seem keen on taking no responsibility in difficult situations.
