But no you cannot accept being called 'huns'. Pathetic lads. And your feeble attempts to stigmatize it only ensure another 100 years of usage. You are huns. And I say that in a very affectionate way. You need to collectively unclench on this one. Is this boy you are digging up not a Dundee Utd fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fhuck off with this pish. Not you personally but generally. It is like you (again not you personally) think by going all mock outrage you actually believe you can control the words we speak and the meaning we give them. The problem here is not some pretend crap with the innocent word hun it is instead the real seam of bigotry running deep through the foundations of your own club. Which is why you make such a fuss over the word hun. You actually believe you can reverse this where you are the victims... You are literally off your nut. And every time someone pulls up this hun pish is more evidence of it. I'm a Dundee United supporter. My contention is that by continuing to use words like "Huns" we are encouraging Rangers and their supporters to circle the wagons and driving them into a more extreme sectarian ghetto. Head-shaking and sighing is likely appropriate than laws and hostility, if we really want to see the back of this shite for the benefit of Scottish society.

Parklife Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Have any of Rangers' summer signings been a "success" yet? Barton is an unmitigated disaster. Kranjcar is made of Dairy Milk and is hardly fit. Clint Hill looks like he's 47 years old Senderos - Hodson - played about 3 games. Rossiter - Seems to have barely played Windass - Again, not been able to get in to the team Garner - £1.5 million for a guy who doesn't suit the style of play and can't trap a bag of cement Dodoo - Again, not been able to get much game time. Am i missing anyone out? Looks like the magic hat was only good forlooking good against lower league teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't feel that abandoning the truth of the matter and pandering to the madness is somehow going to improve things here. I think if anything that will only encourage more mock outrage and faux righteous indignation. It is all so fecking tedious. I think I will just abandon this particular debate as I don't believe they (the ones claiming it) even truly believe it is or ever was sectarian. So what is the point really.

Hill has looked better the more he's played though and I thought he was one of our better performers yesterday. Krancjar was also starting to come on to a game before he got injured. Hodson has looked decent but Taverneir has been one of our few good performers this season so it's been hard for him to get in the team. Windass, Rossiter and Crooks have barely been fit although in the rare glimpses we've seen have all looked as if they might have something to offer but hard to tell. Dodoo looks no better than what we already have in terms of McKay, Forrester and O'Halloran and I'd happily drive Garner back down to Preston myself.

Young players who have the potential to improve. It's the past it haddies like Barton, Hill, Krancjar and Senderos that baffled me. It was obvious that they'd all have been poor signings and ones that won't be coming cheaply. I think most folk could see from the off that they would be bad signings. If your manager knew the English market as well as he claims to, he might've been able to get James Maddison on loan before we did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would I make a big deal about that? No, but there is at least a hint of it being religion based whereas Hun just isn't. I cant think of it ever being used in that context. It is just rangers fans, of any denomination. This is truth. Do we want to live in lah lah land? Who is going to be the boss of that?

If the figures quoted were true or even close to it, the Rangers kitman was earning more than most Scottish premiership players, while Rangers were in Division 3. Mental!

Yes, but only because he knows the secret route of the half mile water pipe that which allows the water to be nicked from Ibrox Parish church, was critical in the two administrations we have gone in and out of over the last year, and the secret deal hatched with the SFA to hide these from the public.
