A Dundee publican has banned travelling Aberdeen FC fans on match days after football ‘casuals’ went “berserk” in his bar causing hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

Ambassador bar manager David Dandie said Dons supporters smashed glasses, destroyed chairs, pulled out lights and punched holes in the roof before Dundee United’s match with Aberdeen at Tannadice Park on Saturday.

Aberdeen FC said that any supporter found guilty of “improper conduct” would be dealt with in the “strongest possible terms”.

Mr Dandie said the rampage was likely to result in a bill of around 1,000 and that allowing Aberdeen supporters back into the pub before future clashes with Dundee United and Dundee FC was “not worth it”.

Mr Dandie, who has run the Clepington Road bar for the past eight months, said: “I’m not going to open the doors to them again, it’s not worth it.

“They enjoy themselves for about an hour-and-a-half to two hours and then they go berserk.”

Mr Dandie said he had been monitoring the bar on CCTV from his office on Saturday when trouble flared.

He said: “It was all Aberdeen fans. They’ve got this song called One Man Went to Mow and when they got to 10 they smashed the glasses.

“They wrecked some chairs, pulled some lights out of the roof and punched holes in the roof as well. They’re talking about a grand (for repairs).

“The pub got shut down until 6pm when we got to reopen. There were about six staff but they basically stood back and let the police control everything.

Mr Dandie said that planned security had “failed to turn up” at the pub on the Saturday afternoon. He said: “The police came and cleared the place out, they did a great job. They were there in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile an “embarrassed” Aberdeen supporter who witnessed Saturday’s incident and took a photograph of the aftermath branded the troublemakers “morons”.

Steven Quirie said: “Trips to Dundee seem to bring out our idiotic ‘supporters’ these days, who sadly seem proud of their actions like throwing chairs and smashing glass. All teams have that minority of supporters.

“Sadly ours were at the Ambassador on Saturday.”
