Oh not the only ones. Every support has its idiots - but its the ratio of idiots to actual supporters that makes the Huns so hated. It's a question of scale.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

as far as im aware the reason hun,s were called huns, is due to the fact that the royal family is of german extraction/descent? so when the germans were nicknamed the hun during the first world war? this name was then given to the rangers support due to their percieved loyalty to the royal family. mainly by celtic fans but then snowballed to include all other fans who hate the huns (with a passion, such as me) ps hate the celtic feks to

Then there's the fact that policing has to be increased about two fold compared to the usual games.
How about the fact I can hardly walk along London Road, or down the top of Easter Road when the Huns are in town?
Maybe we should take a look at how football related violence increases when the Huns are in town?
How about the bottles of buckie scattered about Leith Links and the bridge next to ER?
Doubtless every support has an element of these issues, but once again, its a question of scale.

The songs- there is one about 10 german bombers in the air, then being brought down but we get classed as huns (a german reference) strange.
I don't get what your saying about buckie bottles whats that got to do with being huns, do other fans not leave litter about?
Any time i have been to easter rd fans have walked down the road mixed.

Try walking along London Road or down Easter Road when the Huns are in town. There is an element of the huns support that really is low life ****, spitting and shouting at kids with Hibs tops on. I have seen it with my own eyes.
Most people like a good drink but these guys seem to use the football as an excuse to drink as much buckfast or cheap booze as they can before a game, abuse decent folk on the way to the game, and then sing sectarian songs while at the game, then pretty much do all the above after the game.
Celtic can be just as bad, but as they seem to think they have some sort of affiliation with us maybe they are not as bad when they visit.

Like most non OF fans I despise the gruesome twosome equaly, but the way this thread has gone, and alot of folks general attitude to "Blue Is The Colour" amounts to little more than bullying.
By all means shoot him down when he comes out with some warped Old Firm logic, but don't round on him and any opinion he has just because he is a Rangers fan.

I agree with you there mate, but it seems we all get tarred with the same brush, as you say about celtic fans you would prob find a hearts fans saying the same things as yourself only about them.
Im a rangers fan i don't like hearts any more than hibs or any other team, but im sure there is folk who don't think like this.

If you think the responses on here have been bullying then you need to check out a few more forums. We have been very gentle imo.

As you say a question of scale with rangers and celtic talking more fans than any other club it would give more scope for a**eholes would it not?
I also wrote about the ratio as well.
The songs- there is one about 10 german bombers in the air, then being brought down but we get classed as huns (a german reference) strange.
Well, much like WW2 Germans, a fair chunk of your support like to give Nazi salutes. So it's quite apt.
I don't get what your saying about buckie bottles whats that got to do with being huns, do other fans not leave litter about?
Hiding drink in the bushes etc.? Not often.
Any time i have been to easter rd fans have walked down the road mixed.
Indeed. It's not the most pleasant experience, and certainly wasn't for myself. I can walk through crowds of Hearts, Celtic and Aberdeen fans, without a second thought, but Huns? I just cross the road. Partly because of the verbals, partly because I wouldn't want thier smell to stick to me.
Some would say red hand salutes.(befe anyone has a go, no I don't do them.)
If as you say hiding in bushes thats not as bad as litter then as them must be going back to collect
I suppose everyone has had there experiances, i walk down the street with any sets of fans the only ones i would be wary of doing this with is aberdeen fans im not saying they are all **** but they do have an element, yet you would proberbly be fine walking beside these people.
