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

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.

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.

No I have a great sense of humour lived a long time unfortunately this type of language is out of order. My personal thoughts are the PC brigade have taken over the world.
His comments live on a TV was wrong

[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 Easter Road They Play.....

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.

Hun Definition
a member of a nomadic and warlike Asian people who devastated or controlled large parts of eastern and central Europe and who exercised their greatest power under Attila in the 5th century a.d.
(often lowercase) a barbarous, destructive person; vandal.
Older Slang: Disparaging and Offensive. a contemptuous term used to refer to a German, especially a German soldier in World War I or II.
Think that completely describes them and not a hint of "sectarianism" in any of those
