Maybe they can print “THE TRUTH” on their rag and not upset the grieving relatives of innocent football fans for once.

Hibs should absolutely not apologise. **** all to apologise for. Why are Huns watching Hibs tv in the first place? Bunch of greeting faced gimps.
The term 'hun' is obviosuly not sectarian and never has been. Sevco fans desperately want it to be sectarian so that it can be used as part of their relentless whataboutery.
I think Irvine Welsh was bang out of order for what was said last night.
i do not like Rangers or Celtic but people need to rise above Racism or Sectarianism
He was bang out of order as is tanner or the girl for not apologising live on air
Did Irvine Welsh actually say anything racist or sectarian?
We are currently without a CEO. I do wonder what Leann Dempsters response to Irvine Welsh's comments would have been from a corporate reputational point of view.
I do know why.
As much as I disagree with it, the term "hun" is considered to be a sectarian remark. If a complaint is made then Hibs, with all their anti-discrimination policies in place and signing up to initiatives to stamp out bigotry and racism etc, won't be able to just allow Welsh back on as if nothing's happened just because it's not Rangers we're playing.
Is there a nil by ears? :rolleyes:
Sectarian my erse.
[QUOTE=happiehibbie;6440343]Scottish anti-sectarian charity Nil By Mouth describes the word as “sectarian” and “abusive”, adding that it is “used negatively against Protestants”.
And who made them arbiters of what does and doesn't constitute a sectarian expression?
At the end of the day:
Attachment 24279
so let me get this right, Irvine is being accused of using an offensive word to describe a protestant when he was referring to someone who's presumably a catholic?!
How can hun be a sectarian term when it's only used to describe the supporters of one relatively new football team, no matter what religion that supporter is?!
Hun describes Rangers behavior not their religion. Most protestants are not huns. Many Rangers fans and playerss are.
