CammyF 6,784 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Selective Hearing or something more 'untoward'? Isnââ?¬â?¢t it strange that the Scottish media and the SPL representatives have only heard the big bad Rangers fans singing ââ?¬Ë?unacceptable songsââ?¬â?¢ so far this season? Yeah, OK it isnââ?¬â?¢t strange and sadly, it is rather predictable. Since our opening day ââ?¬Ë?reprimandââ?¬â?¢ the other mhob have indulged in ââ?¬Ë?unacceptable songsââ?¬â?¢ yet the SPL and more importantly, the 4th estate have remained tight lipped. On their trip to Aberdeen, they were clearly heard singing pro-IRA and anti-Presbyterian songs and even had a fan arrested and charged by the Police. Strangely the media and SPL didnââ?¬â?¢t hear these songs. Whilst at home to Hearts at the weekend, 45,000 fans were heard to sing ââ?¬Ë?Go Home Ya Hunsââ?¬â?¢ and ââ?¬Ë?The Wee Huns are Shiteââ?¬â?¢ and yet again, this has gone unreported in the media and by the SPL representative. A more cynical person than myself would claim that it isnââ?¬â?¢t selective hearing but proof positive of an anti-Rangers agenda. Last night on Real Radio, two 'journalists' said that they were 'unaware' of these songs on Saturday. Thats right, the same two journalists claimed that they clearly heard a few hundred Rangers fans singing sectarian songs at Inverness but couldn't hear over 40,000 Craptic fans singing them on Saturday.

Frankie 8,150 Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 so the word "hun" isn't sectarian then Not sure what you mean? I'd contend that the word itself (like ******) isn't but the way it's used is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 As far as i can remember it was Celtic that were the huns in the 60's-70's. I believe that was because the Irish helped germany in the war. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CammyF 6,784 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Well, it appears that Craptic FC deem it sectarian / offensive : "Celtic have warned staff that they can be sacked for calling Rangers fans 'huns'". The ban on the use of the word has also resulted in fans being thrown off the club's website. The club has revealed that any member of staff saying 'hun' can face disciplinary action or be sacked and fans may be asked to leave the ground if they use the word." http://www.ntvcelticfanzine.com/edit.../ed96hword.htm Cammy F 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
