Huns statement

[we are hibs]

See the huns have released a statement greeting about decisions against them and demanding VAR. Also greeting about the media's treatement of morelos.


Such a joke of a club. Guarentee we bring in VAR and a decision goes against them and they want rid of it.

Watching the OF game in all its insanity, I couldn't help thinking that the lack of VAR made it all the more entertaining.

I’m not sure how you can argue they weren’t hard done by yesterday or the media that has it in for Morelos.

Usually it would be accused of being sour grapes after a loss but fair enough to them they won, they still make a statement and their support will love it. This kind of **** only brings the club and support more together and let’s fave it we would have loved it had we done the same after any of the numerous derbies we’ve been done out a win or draw because of scandalous decisions.

Morelos brings absolutely everything upon himself. That was a blatant lie about his gesture too. It was clearly a throat slitting action.


Theyve also got away with plenty over the years. Which they seem to forget about.

[Diclonius]

The sad thing is this one statement will do more to bring in VAR than anything anyone else (bar Celtic) says.

I don’t think he does bring it on himself, he’s clearly a target because he’s such a good player. I took the slit throat gesture as game over copying the undertaker, not he’s going to kill some wee granny behind the dugout.

The ironic thing is that VAR would assist the rest of the country against the decisions the old firm get weekly.

[Johnny Clash]

.. and predictably no statement about Morelos blatantly cheating, nonsense stuff about not really making throat cutting gestures and no comment about, once again,one of Gerrard’s backroom staff getting sent off!

[Vault Boy]

Can't believe we don't have goal line technology yet.

VAR can do one.

[GreenCastle]

Goal line technology would make sense.

VAR - my worry is the muppets doing it could really make a worse mess than the English league.

The best thing Scottish football could do is microphone the refs so we can hear the decisions.

Regarding the Huns players...gun celebration and slitting throat should be 4 game max ban similar to Lennons aeroplane celebration.

[we are hibs]

Goal line technology would work because its factual. There isnt a debate about it.


VAR up here would still find a way to benefit celtic and rangers iver the rest. Mainly due to the fact no one would be able to hear whats being said or how theyve come to that conclusion. The australian league are starting to get it right. Heres a couple of examples:

Lennon also made the “throat slit” gesture towards the 4th official on his managerial debut at Hibs resulting in a 5 match ban.

First part is nonsense, there are plenty of good players in the league who get on with their game, Morelos is a horrible character who only gets this attention due to his own actions nobody else's. I do tend to agree with the second part of your post, in that his intentions were to say "game over", and not a death threat. However it was still very stupid to do this especially in a derby match.

From memory Lennon got banned for 5 games for making a similar gesture in a Europa League tie. Again his intentions were not threatening but to say "game over".

[JimBHibees]

Morelos is a wonderful player but an absolute weapon. Let's remember how many red cards he got rescinded last season wrongly and yet he conitinues to act in the same way. For a club with such a superiority complex they don't half love to play the victim.

[MWHIBBIES]

Can't imagine anything worse than this beta version of VAR with the absolutely awful Scottish referees operating it.

VAR will be great some day but it needs polished and the ****ing idiots operating it need training.

[JimBHibees]

Or he is a complete roaster.

[Aldo]

Bad losers and even worse when they win.

Nothing about Morelos and his cheating antics etc but trying to justify his and others actions.

Look at the state of one of their coaches, the same one who was at the centre of it all at ER, sent off. So they have issues with both on-field and off field behaviour!

I don’t think any player in the league gets victimised as much as Morelos, who is simply the best player in the country also. It’s not rubbish.

I don’t think he cares if it was a stupid thing to do in a derby match he’s got 60,000 people giving him abuse. I would have loved it if squirrel done similar nor did I think it was stupid he gave it the two fingers and the slide to the hearts fans.

Europa league and domestic league is completely different although I think the boy will get another two games or so onto his ban. Which is a shame as he’s got Hearts coming up.

How is he in anyway victimised? Last season he got away with 2 or 3 reds which other players would not have. Many including his own manager agreed his behaviour was unacceptable. He has been better this season however continues to play on the edge and deservedly got sent off for cheating again yesterday. In no way is he victimised at all.

Add in Morelos slitting his throat as he walked off - the NFL banned players from doing this in 1999 for a reason.

Couldn't disagree more. Morelos is not victimised (that's just typical Hun's playing the victim card) and he's not the best player in the league. He is one of the best, I give you that, but not THE best. His antics on the pitch (diving/cheating at every opportunity) are his own doing and the reason he is disliked by the vast majority of opposition fans. I also agree with you in that he doesn't care about his actions but that doesn't make it less stupid. I hope they chuck the book at him, but sadly, as you say he will no doubt only get an extra game or two added to his suspension.

So yes it is rubbish what you posted.

[weecounty hibby]

They are beyond parody!! They have fans who have rampaged across many towns and cities caused numerous riots and are world famous for it. Hibs fans do some admittedly stupid things and Gerrard says we need the get our house in order. For the 46 years of me following Hibs Der Hun have been given more than any club, even celtic, decisions that are beyond comprehension. Now they want VAR brought in because they may have been in the wrong end of a decision. **** off you blood sucking parasites. Everyone hates you, there is good reason for it but you do care. It's why you have it in for Hibs more than ever, we get under your skin because we hate you and have taken a liking to beating you, in particular in May 2016. As for Morelos being picked on, give it a rest. He was sent off 5 times last season and had other reds rescinded that would have stood if he played for other clubs. As I say just **** right off with your pathetic statements

Yes, the 2 fingers were for the goals, the post I was replying to said he gave hearts fans the "two fingers" which is completely different.

Hmmmm

Squirrel gave a V sign (not "two fingers" - so yet again you are talking rubbish) to signify his second goal and his celebration was not in any way abusive. You on the wind up?

:yamlaugh:

[GreenCastle]

Breaking news on sky sports is about Morelos claiming he was racially abused.

Like the VAR statement in the VICTORY against Celtic..are they trying to rub it in and make a statement to everyone that they won yesterday ??

I reckon he’s the best in the league as well. His goals record speaks for itself. 28 goals in 35 games is exceptional.

Some wooden hut in the Ibrox car park for huns games.

The thing about VAR is you also need the camera set up at stadiums for it to work. Currently some match footage is just 1 camera where as EPL games have many more.

Even the English Championship doesn’t have VAR and that league has more money than Scotland.

Goal line technology is what needs to be sorted first - but we can’t even sort tickets for a simple game at Livi so this league organisation doesn’t hold much hope.

Agree but on the night in question they sung sectarian songs for ninety minutes loud and clear for all the world to hear but we lost the moral high ground when idiots in our own support decided to lob obstacles at their Croatian diving left back and we also have the Tavernier attack and the bottle of Buckie getting thrown at the Celtic player trying to take a corner it has to stop!

A big difference regarding this sort of stuff is that Hibs actually acknowledge and deal with issues. With Sevco it's all denial and deflection tactics. With Sevco it's also a majority of fans that cause problems.

Neil Doncaster's comments from the other week:

"It's extremely encouraging to see the significant investment which Hibs have made in a state-of-the-art CCTV system paying off.

"Their ability to identify the alleged perpetrators so swiftly is great news for the game and I want to congratulate Leeann Dempster for her robust approach to this issue."

[calumhibee1]

So Morelos’ gesture means it’s finished in South America? That’s great and all that, but that’s not what it means here, in Scotland, where he done it.

In some countries it’s illegal to be homosexual. Any players from these countries presumably have carte blanche to fling homophobic abuse around while in Britain because it’s ok back home?

[allmodcons]

I’m not sure how you can argue they weren’t hard done by yesterday or the media that has it in for Morelos.

Usually it would be accused of being sour grapes after a loss but fair enough to them they won, they still make a statement and their support will love it. This kind of **** only brings the club and support more together and let’s fave it we would have loved it had we done the same after any of the numerous derbies we’ve been done out a win or draw because of scandalous decisions.

Bull****. We are Rangers super Rangers no one likes us ..............................

I'd be ashamed if our club released the kind press statements these ****wits put out.

They bring shame on our game and have no right complaining about anything until they make a serious effort at cleaning up the bigotry that they thrive on.

Right, I'm not sure how serious that is, but it's probably not something he shouldn't be doing.

For me, it is usually accompanied by the word "kaput" in bad gangster movies. It's also used along with "cut" in film production.

If I was his manager, I'd tell him not to do it in future. It could easily be taken the wrong way in a volatile situation.

Then he should get the same. Perhaps the gesture is why NewHun seem so keen to talk about things that could be discussed any week.

It seems strange to be talking about all this when they got a win yesterday.

They don’t do irony either ‘reduce the number of wrong decisions’ are they f***in joking?!!

Noticed when clicking link they still have statement from 22nd May 2016 on home page.
You would have thought as it was all proven to be incorrect that they would have expunged it from their records, then again I guess they still believe its all true.

[Is It On....]

Morelos brings absolutely everything upon himself. That was a blatant lie about his gesture too. It was clearly a throat slitting action.


Theyve also got away with plenty over the years. Which they seem to forget about.

Over the years? The Rangers have only been around a since 2012 and their success amounts to a few lower league flags and the Petrofac Cup 😂 They do however strongly resemble an extinct club with their superiority complex, nasty sectarian overtones and spending beyond their income. I hope they go extinct soon as well.

[FilipinoHibs]

My father is South American from near Columbia and I can assure you Morelos's gesture means I will slit your throat and you will be dead.

Even the Columbian media are condemning him for bringing shame on their country. Only the Huns making up stories about the gesture's meaning in South America.

I assume Rangers will be hammered by the SFA for bringing the game into disrepute.

Which of course was really an it’s finished gesture.. if you’re in South America.. which unfortunately for him he wasn’t.

Which of course it isn't in South America either according to the tweet by Tom English re a Colombian media outlet.

Yes. Did you read my post? I didn’t say once Boyle gave hearts fans the two finger salute, v for victory or anything. He simply stuck two fingers not offensive in any way to show how many goals he had scored.

Go and show me where “I claimed” he gave them “the” two fingers.

You won’t, send your apologies in the post ��

Well, if you insist.
"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you willfind. Knock, and it will be opened for you.



I don’t think any player in the league gets victimised as much as Morelos, who is simply the best player in the country also. It’s not rubbish.

I don’t think he cares if it was a stupid thing to do in a derby match he’s got 60,000 people giving him abuse. I would have loved it if squirrel done similar nor did I think it was stupid he gave it the two fingers and the slide to the hearts fans.

Europa league and domestic league is completely different although I think the boy will get another two games or so onto his ban. Which is a shame as he’s got Hearts coming up.

Now you will maybe give it a rest. :greengrin

And don't bother with an apology, I know it wouldn't be meant.

[InchHibby]

Could anyone honestly trust our officials with VAR technology, they can’t even get the basics right half the time and as for the fourth official, what exactly does he do, even the linesmen/Women can’t make a decision on a simple throw in when it’s a yard away from them.
And tell me this, how many dodgy decisions over the years have went the way of the Bigot Brothers, you couldn’t count them yet one or two dodgy decisions against them and all hell is let loose.
I say leave it the fech where it is and as someone else said on this thread, what about the simple one, goal line technology.
But I bet you a pound to a penny that now one of the Bigot mobs have spoken, it won’t be too long until we have it, it’s just the normal way in this league, the only league in the entire world that listens to and adheres to two clubs only.

Can't imagine anything worse than this beta version of VAR with the absolutely awful Scottish referees operating it.

I must be deaf as well as I definitely can't clearly hear any reference to "black" in that video either. There's a "hun" shouted but can't hear "black" that's not to say it wasn't shouted by the way but I would be wanting more conclusive evidence than this video in terms of proof.

Don't know if you saw the news yesterday, but there appears to have been a targeted campaign against synagogues. Offensive graffiti sprayed in London.

This guy, standing outside a Catholic school, to cause offense can't be too far away from what happened down south.

Police Scotland need to act. I can understand the difficulty in making arrests in large crowds. It's too straightforward here for them to have any excuse.

I’m not sure how you can argue they weren’t hard done by yesterday or the media that has it in for Morelos.

Usually it would be accused of being sour grapes after a loss but fair enough to them they won, they still make a statement and their support will love it. This kind of **** only brings the club and support more together and let’s fave it we would have loved it had we done the same after any of the numerous derbies we’ve been done out a win or draw because of scandalous decisions.

I think it’s fair to say that the incident is less to do with deep rooted personal religious bigotry, but more to do with having limited intellectual capacity and carrying out an act of religious bigotry simply as a consequence of embracing the religiously bigoted baggage that surrounds his favourite team. You just know that guy is a nowhere near a place of worship on a Sunday morning.

There are tens of thousands of people like this clown who share his mentality and follow the same club in Scotland. Rangers could do more to discourage it but seem loathe to do so.

Having spent over 65 years being abused as a Fenian b*****d by one lot and as an Orange b*****d by the other lot,usually by 2/3000 of them at a time,I think the current furore over Morelos maybe being abused by a couple of people has a long way to go before being the news story of the decade.

FWIW, I completely disagree with it being a sectarian term.

[we are hibs]

Nil by mouth talk ***** and want to pick and choose what is classed as sectarian. Hun isnt.

[Carheenlea]

The term Hun is not sectarian, it’s simply a term that Huns want classified as sectarian to dilute the disparity of sectarian language that falls largely towards their output.

They don’t like being called Huns and that is as good a reason as any to continue it’s use to describe the type of individual who supports Rangers.

[Sir David Gray]

Because - quite unbelievably- they’ve managed to get hun classed as a sectarian term :rolleyes:

Nonsense, hun is not a sectarian term.

I was baptised in the Church of Scotland and therefore part of the Protestant religion and have never been called a hun in my life.

A hun is a derogatory term for a Rangers fan, it's nothing whatsoever to do with religion.

By the way, I know you're not in agreement with it being a sectarian term, I just can't believe this is a word that's deemed sectarian. It's just garbage.

[Barney McGrew]

By the way, I know you're not in agreement with it being a sectarian term, I just can't believe this is a word that's deemed sectarian. It's just garbage.

[Onion]

The term 'Hun' was used by many of the original Rangers club supporters to describe Celtic fans back in the day.
It may be a derogatory term, but in no way is it sectarian.

Have heard the term Hun used for 50 years and always to describe Rangers supporters, never Protestants in general. A derogatory term used for ignorant, animals who rampage through towns and cities, have zero respect for anything including themselves, and would cheat their way through life without a seconds thought. Equally applies to Rangers players, from the likes of John Greg - a dirty beast who kicked his way through most decent footballers in Scotland to modern day Morelos. It is the perfect description for everything associated with that club, and should be reserved exclusively for them.

But apparently, "they don't care" :greengrin

[CentreLine]

It is, of course, nonsense.

Utter nonsense I agree, but it seems that all a person, group of persons, or even a company running a zombie version of a dead club, has to do is pick a word they don’t like and have it declared sectarian or racist. Won’t be long before Brexitere is banned as a word.

I remember being brainwashed at a “diversity” course a few years back and at one point they were banging on about the expression “nitty gritty” claiming it was to do with slave ships. Utter nonsense again. The expression “nitty gritty” appears absolutely nowhere until the 1950s. Same sort of time as itsy bitsy and teeny weeny. But if people repeat a myth often enough then it becomes adopted as truth. The thing is that the “catch all” in these circumstances is that if someone believes it is offensive then it’s offensive. Or that’s what they told me.
There was a lot of good in that course but some utter codswallop too. I kind of gave up on credibility when they ripped apart 250 year old
Philosophical works (David Hume specifically) and nobody could explain why there was not one part of the course dedicated to religious bigotry. Specifically anti catholic bigotry.

So I guess Huns are a sect now 🤔

[660]

Protestants have never been institutionally discriminated against in Scotland which is why there is a difference. I’m not sure how people don’t grasp this. I get called a ginger fud on a regular basis and often it’s because I’m ginger. I won’t get massively offended about it until ginger people are sent to the gulags.

Historical context has a place, but only a small one IMO. In 2019, soon to be 2020, making derogatory comments against people or groups of people you perceive to be Protestant isn’t any different to making derogatory comments against people or groups of people you perceive to be Catholic. One group may or may not have been persecuted over the other, but any kind of religious discrimination is unacceptable regardless of what side of the fence it sits on in 2019.

Offensive sectarian language is still used in Scotland on a daily basis, with abusive terms such as “Hun” and “Orange *******” being used negatively against Protestants (or those perceived to be) and others such as “Fenian” and “Tim” used negatively against Catholics (or those perceived to be)

FWIW, I completely disagree with it being a sectarian term.

Nil by Mouth haven't really got much of a clue about sectarian issues have they? :confused:

[Jack Hackett]

Utter nonsense I agree, but it seems that all a person, group of persons, or even a company running a zombie version of a dead club, has to do is pick a word they don’t like and have it declared sectarian or racist. Won’t be long before Brexitere is banned as a word.

I remember being brainwashed at a “diversity” course a few years back and at one point they were banging on about the expression “nitty gritty” claiming it was to do with slave ships. Utter nonsense again. The expression “nitty gritty” appears absolutely nowhere until the 1950s. Same sort of time as itsy bitsy and teeny weeny. But if people repeat a myth often enough then it becomes adopted as truth. The thing is that the “catch all” in these circumstances is that if someone believes it is offensive then it’s offensive. Or that’s what they told me.
There was a lot of good in that course but some utter codswallop too. I kind of gave up on credibility when they ripped apart 250 year old
Philosophical works (David Hume specifically) and nobody could explain why there was not one part of the course dedicated to religious bigotry. Specifically anti catholic bigotry.

So I guess Huns are a sect now 🤔

Have heard the term Hun used for 50 years and always to describe Rangers supporters, never Protestants in general. A derogatory term used for ignorant, animals who rampage through towns and cities, have zero respect for anything including themselves, and would cheat their way through life without a seconds thought. Equally applies to Rangers players, from the likes of John Greg - a dirty beast who kicked his way through most decent footballers in Scotland to modern day Morelos. It is the perfect description for everything associated with that club, and should be reserved exclusively for them.

But apparently, "they don't care" :greengrin

Great description.

[FilipinoHibs]

The Rangers issue statement claiming Morelos was abused by one guy because he is Black*.

Meanwhile, 1,500 Nendarthals among his own support are singing songs decrying his religion.


Irony?




* Is he even Black? :dunno:

He will likely be a mixture of black slaves brought from Africa, indiginous south american indians and spanish. We come out in all shades. I am a light brown.

[Carheenlea]

The term 'Hun' was used by many of the original Rangers club supporters to describe Celtic fans back in the day.
It may be a derogatory term, but in no way is it sectarian.

That’s interesting, have never heard of that before.

[FilipinoHibs]

A barbarous, destructive person, vandal. Think Manchester UEFA cup final.

An insult against German soldiers in world war 2. Sometimes applied to Germans in general which I think coukd be racist.

Think only Rangers fans fall into the full definition. But can insult our Hun light neighbours.

The RAF fighter pilots in WW2 said “Beware of the Hun in the Sun”.

Pretty sure that wasn’t aimed at fans of Old Co.

The term "Hun" in relation to supporters of the team that died and the subsequent tribute act has its roots in an incident in Liverpool following an Everton v Rangers "friendly" that was marred by drunken violence.

There were a huge number of arrests and when the cases came to court they were reported in the Liverpool Echo whose reporter quoted one of the senior police witnesses as say that "They descended on the city like a horde of marauding huns"

So the term Hun, which predates any german reference, is not sectarian but a reference to unruly barbaric followers of the mighty Atilla whose army sacked Rome.

I think it's an insult to the intelligence of anybody calling him a Black B... that they don't even recognise the guy is actually mixed race.


My personal opinion is that we're all a mixture of some kind, hence my freckles. :)

And don't bother with an apology, I know it wouldn't be meant.


Why would I apologise? I know what I meant.

Was a slide offensive? No. Was sticking two fingers up to show how many goals he had scored being offensive? I never at all once indicted he was sticking his fingers up at the hearts fans as a **** you gesture, same as others have stuck three up when scoring a Hattrick.

Maybe you and your wee pal get your facts right. I said at least twice on this thread I wasn’t indicating Boyle flicked the vs at the hearts crowd and I’ve also said on this same thread he was sticking his fingers up to indicate how many he had scored. There was zero malice at all.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

He will likely be a mixture of black slaves brought from Africa, indiginous south american indians and spanish. We come out in all shades. I am a light brown.

I think that he will almost certainly be classed 'Afro-mestizo'

Mestizo is the largest ethnic group in Central America, including Mexico and NW South America, where Colombia lies.
Mestizos are are mix of indiginous peoples and peoples of European decent, I would imagine at least 80% of Colombians would class themselves as Mestizo.

Morelos would be afro-mestizo as he obviously also has african ancestry too, many African slaves were transported there to work on plantations.

In our Western European culture, the term and indeed the race that is mestizo isn't really known of or understood so to your average white Briton he would just be 'black' but I'm sure he would regard himself as mestizo.

What you meant and what you said were two different things.

You repeatedly claimed that you did not use the term "the two fingers", a well known offensive gesture, but I and another poster produced the exact post that you claimed you didn't make. The proof is in the quote from you.

Anyway, I know what I mean. Nobody said anything about the gesture or celebration being offensive.

[Sylar]

The tit for tat, vague accusation back and forth from the InFirm since Sunday has been utterly pitiful.

Celtc:"Your players made some bad gestures".
Sevco: "Yeah, but your fans shouted racist/sectarian abuse at them!"
Celtc: "We've not seen any evidence of that, but your fans sung "sickening" chants that we won't expand upon..."
Sevco: "We find the IRA songs to be pretty sickening..."
Celtc: "OK, fine, but your fans launched missiles at our fans - trust us, we know..."
Sevco: "One of our fans was knocked out by a coin!"
Celtc: "Hmmm, well, we still want the SFA to investigate your player and his gestures"
Sevco: "Oh, you mean the player who was sexually assaulted by that Christie chap...that one?".
....
n

The entire thing is laughable.

I would say that is definitely the case. Many of the the indiginous people of South America are very dark brown as they are here. Looking at pictures of his parents, his father is very dark but looks a Spanish/Indian mestizo. His mother is much lighter but looks to have traces of black african. There are certainly some African dna in him as there are in most mestizo's but I would say it us the dominant gene. Any you are right about Northern Europeans being unaware of Mestizos.

Here in the Philippines the Spanish brought mestizos from Latin America to fight wars and colonnise the provinces. They are called Americanos because they had lighter skin than the indigenous people. Now any foreigner is called an Americano while a mestizo is any one of mix foreign/ filipino blood.

As in Atilla the Hun and his people.
The Huns were an Asiatic people from the Steppes in Russia. They invaded Europe and left a trail of destruction which is how fans of Celtic and Hibs see Rangers fans.
Maybe we should start calling Celtic fans huns given their behaviour at away games is very similar. Would be good for a reaction from the self proclaimed greatest fans in the world.

Rangers fans were called huns when I was a kid which was before the 1974 match with Everton quoted above. However, their behaviour at the 1976 friendly with Aston Villa, quoted above, sounds absolutely horrific and becoming of the hun story.

Is the Everton v Rangers thing genuine or just an often repeated story that has now become fact in folks heads?
There is never any date for the match when folk quote this story which would suggest it is fictional.

Yes think fictional. Remember calling them Huns in the late sixties. Remember the battle of Newcastle in 1969 when they tried to stop a fairs cup match when they were losing. I have a female fruend from Newcastle who was at school then. Her uniform was green and her and her friends suffered sectarian abuse from Rangers fans during the day because of the green colour of their blazers. Then of course the battle of Barcelona in 1972.

Celtic fans tend to be more drunk and behaving poorly - urinating and being sick and littering the place with bottles. So not sure if Hun is appropriate.

I think that's a bit harsh on the media up here, strange that that story comes from the BBC as they would never run with that in Scotland, Bill Leckie done a piece on it yesterday and called for an end to this sectarian nonsense in Scotland, we have have folk banging on about it most weeks but it is just falling on deaf ears to the groups who can do anything about it, Nicola Sturgeon wants nothing to do with it, she would have learned after wee Ecks threats to have it banned in stadiums in Scotland, didn't go well, Scottish Police are another group who condemn it but do nothing about it, there token 4 arrests at Parkhead is a joke, and finally the 2 groups who peddle this sectarian pish in to our houses every week, Sky & BT sports by airing live Celtc and the Rangers games and have never once apologised on air for it but are happy to apologise at any other games around the UK for some bad language from the crowd, Sky & BT need taking to task over it, everyone knows what's been sung in support of terrorist groups, it's clear as day when you are at the game or watching it on tv, but not a peep, the media do highlight it, it's just that the people with power to do anything about it won't do it.

That's an interesting one and contains the following:

“Policemen with dogs stood shoulder to shoulder behind the goal, defiantly gazing at the hordes of human animals they had just driven off the St James’ Park pitch.
“For 17 minutes, the Battle of Gallowgate raged. This was the night soccer wept for the name of Glasgow Rangers .”
“Glasgow Rangers directors, shocked, shattered and embarrassed by last night’s riots in Newcastle, labelled the offenders lunatics.”

50 years ago! What an embarrassment.

I wonder who how he reconciles his stance against racism while also being an apologist for sectarianism and a form of sectarianism that could be construed as anti Irish racism

It would be good to see SUTR tackle the most prominent form of football related racism in our country but they'll no doubt hide behind the its sectarian not racist excuse.

If you have listened to the guy on Sportsound you will know he is neither a big thinker or articulate so not sure he will have given it much thought. Seems a decent enough guy but it is amazing that he managed to get both jobs given his lack of intellect.
As for SUTR, other than it being a Scottish hot tatty i'm not sure why they can't get the sectarianism message out with the racism message given they are both the same thing i.e. bullying and not treating people with respect.

I recall you posting that on another thread a while back.
I also posted on that thread, saying that i was in Newcastle not long after that game. (changing trains)
Me and a pal ( i later married his sister !)spent a few hours there and we got attacked by a group of guys after they heard our accent whilst in a boozer.
It was all down to The Hun destroying the toon centre after the game.
We gave them as much as they gave us.
Polis arrived.
And we got lifted !!
Not flavour of the month one bit,after the hun had visited.

On the origins of Hun at football.
I always thought the Liverpool Kop started the chant "Go home ya hun" during a European game against German opposition, mid/late 60s
The Kop back then had some song book
They used to sing Beatles songs. Brilliant choir.
