The “prejudice and partiality” of spectators was explained in 1883 by R Smart, the secretary of Dundee’s East End FC, in a letter to the Dundee Courier. Football spectators, he said, “may have taken a fancy for a certain club, and can see nothing but perfection in their play, and nothing but reprehensible actions on the part of any other club.”
