If anybody's interested, there's a giant statue of Attila the Hun in Tulln, Austria.
I had my photo taken next to it but I'm not posting it here, in case The Rangers demand an apology...

i have not read every detail in this thread so forgive me if anyone else has asked.
this is what i was thinking.
If it was a complaint driven then was it a Hibs supporter complaint(which i highly doubt) or lets say a current bun pirate tv viewing of our exclusive to hibernian only service.
Ask them for their subscription to validate there claims :cb

Find it funny that Rangers fans are so triggered by sticky bun. The social media meltdown has been very amusing. They know they can't do anything about it.
The outrage currently in the Daily Record (Daily Ranger) seems to be around Welsh's comments towards Morelos.
They're also trying to make out that McGregor's tackle in the 2nd half was just as bad, and was a deliberate stamp.
I haven't seen anything referring to the 'Sticky Bun' comment, or him calling them out for sectarianism (though I haven't read every article in detail)
https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/...-full-23406088
Video and full transcript here, including sticky bun chat!
Also reporting that the SFA are investigating us and could take action.
And some folk still think we were right to apologise! Hunbelievable.

I guess Rangers just told us we had to give them it eh.
What would happen with IW's comments under the Justice Minister's proposed hate crime bill?
If Hibs dont play a 'Flock of Seagulls' song next time we play the sticky buns then they're missing a trick.
This is the ideal pre match fodder for Hibs v Rangers to boom out loud around Easter Road.Quote:

Get it played.
Irvine Welsh is a wonderful human being. The most significant and important Hibs fan of all time. I bet he went home, poured a large expensive brandy, sat in his favourite chair, lit a fat Cuban (lighting a fat Colombian woulda been better) logged on to Twitter and laughed his arse off til he fell asleep.
Well played Sir.
:faf: I’d love it if that was played but maybe a step too far?Quote:

Good and clever guy who I saw play on many occasions and still releases stuff.
Played 5 John Peel sessions. The band generally sound like a Scottish version of The Wedding Present if that appeals.
He shouldn't of used the language he did, or saying somebody should be macheted
However, he was right about away fans.
What does this have to do with the football authorities? Can Hibs be fully responsible for an individual who has no contractual ties to the club makiong comments on a live broadcast where there is no way to edit or control what goes out.
I thought we didn't have direct responsibility for the actions of fans etc. As long as every precaution has been taken
The theme tune Hibs TV coverage has been crying out for.Quote:

You just know Irvine will be laughing at the media and rag tops today. He certainly won't give the slightest flying fk! And he'll be delighted to hear the Follow Followers are angry and bitter about his words.

Eff them and their crocodile tears. They are one of the most bigoted clubs around. KO time for their “offence”.

It will never happen but it would be interesting if someone on Sportsound had the balls to point out some of the hypocrisy around this. No doubt we will get a lengthy discussion about both this and the Morelos stamp. Michael Stewart might be the best hope if he's on.
In the last few years we have had a Hibs manager have a song aimed at him about his wife dying of cancer, a Hibs manager mocked for having had cancer and at least 4 managers repeatedly referred to as 'fenian *******s'. All of those actions have taken place in or around Ibrox and certainly in the case of the last one it was a vast, vast majority joining in. I barely remember them causing a ripple in the media and there was certainly no apology demanded of or received from Rangers. Suddenly they are the 'victims' and we all have to listen to this mock outrage.
I expect the lickspittles that make up the bulk of the BBC Scottish football output will have been well warned not to rock the boat though.
I'd just calmed down as well.Quote:

Why aren’t we publicly putting pressure on the SPFL and refs about the issues we feel strongly about?
If the majority of our fan base can see it, the club must too. They’re the ones in a position to challenge things though, we can only bump our gums online.
So maybe it’s time for Hibs as a club to step up and be more vocal about the running of the game in general instead of the continued silence and take what we’re given approach we’ve seen for decades.
Wouldn’t do any harm to give it a try would it?
I think if Hibs called the likes of that particular club out publicly the fans would get right behind them. It would create a bit of a seige mentality. Right now it feels a bit meh.
If Hibs made any kind of comment about rangers fans, at a time when supporters aren’t even at the games, I’d find that embarrassing.
By all means call it out when it happens, condemn it, but bringing it up now, just because an invited guest on Hibs tv said something they shouldn’t have, would be an absolute joke.
We slate the old firm for their whataboutery, but that’s exactly what we’d be doing.
Not forgetting the The Rangers director on May 2016 saying he would rather have his supporters singing sectarian songs than invading the pitch and assaulting people, as his fans spilled on to the pitch to assault people, we should not have entertained these f***ers one single bit, we should have sent them a box of hankies and told them to get over it.Quote:

Hibs receive a warning letter from SFA over Welsh’s Morelos comments
https://www.skysports.com/football/n...ZUw7onLPCsabQU
“The Scottish FA launched an investigation into the comments and the Edinburgh side have been issued with a warning letter“

Is that his cutting remark that they are referring to?Quote:

Welsh's comments were not meant to be taken seriously.
If he had genuinely intended someone to do what he suggested, then it wouldn't be the SFA investigating but the Scottish SPCA.
Hunbelievable!
Interesting that the huns seem to have taken on a new social conscience in recent times. They now seem to be the bastions of the fight against racism and threatening behaviour.
I'm looking forward to a new songbook from them when fans finally return to the stadium.
How can a PPV, club broadcast be taken to task when it was a guest that made the comments?!
I say Hun all the time, and I really ****ing mean it. Where’s my letter ya pricks?
Let’s be honest here, IW is very engaging, but not on a site that kids could be like watching.
Forget Rangers, simply not food enough from Hibs
Sorry I disagree. If you believe that then kids shouldn't watch any TV and certainly shouldn't be taken to matches.Quote:

A warning would be a start.
It’s the risk you take when employing an alternative social commentator such as Irvine Welsh.
The context of his language is lost in the stuffy corridors of Scottish Football, who don’t want anyone to stray too far from the identikit pundit and the favoured buzzwords such as “shifts” “opportunities” “disappointed” “final thirds” “quality” “delighted” etc. It’s not like we already don’t get enough of that on sportsound.
Did he get questioned in the end?Quote:

Sfh, I mean Rangers fans getting offended for taking offence's sake. It was patently obvious to everyone that IW was joking.
Should have argued that it was a small minority of our Irvine Welsh's so it was absolutely fine.
