Jack MacKenzie, an unused Aberdeen substitute, was injured during a pitch invasion by Dundee United fans following a match that denied Aberdeen a spot in the top four. Struck by an object from his own supporters, the incident drew sharp criticism from former manager Jim Goodwin, who referred to it as a 'disgrace'. Goodwin expressed dismay that a player's injury was necessary for authorities to take action against disorderly fans, underscoring a troubling history of fan behavior at Tannadice.
Speaking to BBC Scotland after his side sealed a European place on Saturday, Goodwin labelled the incident 'a disgrace'. Aberdeenshire's supporters have had issues previously, and the manager expressed disappointment over MacKenzie being injured by a fan's thrown object.
'I'm really disappointed to hear young Jack has been hit by an object thrown by his own supporters,' Goodwin stated. He emphasized that previous incidents necessitate accountability for such actions.
'It's probably taken something as serious as this to happen for the authorities to finally step in and do something about it,' Goodwin pointed out, reflecting on the need for action against unruly fans.
