Hun not considered offensive - Fredstersafool - 04-10-2016
One for you Sevconians, Offcom have considered the word Hun as not offensive,how do you Huns feel about that??
RE: Hun not considered offensive - Paigntonhibby - 04-10-2016
Hun is not offensive, Huns very often are. Hun is a word used in Scotland to mean rangers supporter,which is exactly what everybody apart fae the usual suspects on here have been saying forever

They will be trying to get the term vandal banned next. It makes about as much sense right enough.
Bottom line is that if they hadn't acted like huns for decades they wouldn't be getting called it today. They did though and it suits them perfectly. They are stuck with it.
Indeed on sevcomedia the thread devoted to his issue sees them bashfully admit they called celtic fans 'huns' back in the 60s and 70s.

I don't remember statements being issued when Hateley was named Attila

In the context of Scottish fitba it has nothing to do with religion. End of story.

"They poured over the border like a horde of marauding Huns" from a local wolverhampton journo when rangers played Wolves in the early sixties
