--- Quote from: E Dub on August 16, 2008, 12:18:12 PM ---the word hun was originally used to describe celtic fans


during ww2 Rep of Ireland where officially Neutral but had been known to let german u-boats refuel in their docks Rangers fans then called celtic fans huns because their support was largely Southern Irish immigrants or people who where supporters of their cause


sometime later the word magically becomes a derogitary word to describe us


ask any Celtic fan why and they wont be able to give you a logical explanation why


some shite about the royal family being german

I've always thought it was because of Atila the Hun and his infamous raids, pillages and plunders of various cities across Europe, much like the .....

E Dub:

E Dub:
something extremely wrong with you people who come onto a music forum and use it as an opportunity to run us into the ground at any moment its not normal


you hate us more than you love your own team

wilz:
the term "hun" is from atilla the hun. The raids across europe while the roman empire was in power resulted in anyone going agaisnt the roman catholics were called a hun ( a bit like in america during the cold war when anyone disagreed with the goverments methods then they were called a commie)

So technically the term hun isn't a slander against protestants but simply against atilla the hun. but after atilla hun King Henry of England fell out with Rome because Catholic law states you cant have more than 1 wife. so Henry broke away from the catholic rome and formed the Christianity religion called protestant which was named such as it literlaly means Protest against the pope. so when that happened the term hun came back into use to describe the new threat against Rome (so you could argue that "hun" doesn't have valid grounds to be a slander against a religion.  and only offends those who are unable to read and understand that when they are called a hun it shouldn't actually offend them

So when Celtic started playing rangers the term hun came back into use to describe the team going against the catholic team.

In scotland Celtic and hibernian use the term to describe Rangers and Hearts (with the edinburgh team to a lesser extent)
