'Hun' not considered offensive by communications watchdog Ofcom

Which one of the two was ostracised by his 'friends' for playing for the perceived 'other side'?

I don't really see why any word should be banned. I understand why some might be deemed extremely offensive, so may be proscribed, mainly due to the fact that the right-wing rangers support use them in a racist or offensive manner, but that is up to the mod to issue yellow cards or to sin bin a poster for using proscribed language and, if the offence is repeated, to issue bans.
Jocks and taffs and paddies aren't offensive in themselves, but are used in a derogatory manner by some Englanders because they have some false sense of superiority. Paddy is also used by rangers supporters because they are anti-Irish bigots, but that is a separate story. Hun isn't offensive, but is used in a similarly derogatory manner towards rangers supporters. It isn't sectarian by any means but it certainly isn't a compliment... Feenyin isn't in the slightest bit offensive except to those who take great delight in being offended. At the end of the day, whilst the new wisdom is that whether something is offensive or not is decided by the person who has been offended, that fact of the matter is, as every sensible person knows, that offence has to be intended.
Words in themselves are not offensive - how they are used is. Is calling someone a tw@t more offensive if you preface that with their nationality, or the gender, or ***uality or religion? Most of my shift are Polish. Calling them Polish is not an insult. Calling someone a Polish bastird certainly has connotations of anti-Polish sentiment.

Bottom line, a hun is a rangers supporter, whether that is a Buddhist hun, Sikh hun, Hindu hun, Catholic hun, Jewish hun, Protestant hun, muslim hun - or an atheist hun...

(Apologies to any huns whose personal theological myth has been left out...)

Big Jock the HUN was refused a seat on the board because he was a HUN, wee Mo was forced to leave the country because he played for the huns, his catholic colleagues disowned him and the yahoo threatened his life for signing for us, it's a familiar pattern with the yahoo.

No meltdown here - all you do is demonstrate your ignorance and the fact that you are desperate for your warped version of reality to become mainstream.
Never gonna happen

He left the country because he played for the Huns? I thought he went to play in the American leagues like many others before and after, and wasn't big Jock bombed out by his " friends" because he signed for us? Face it Skippy you're out on your ass over this one, and how many times do you need to be pulled over spelling or grammar after you have done the same to others?

The Celtic board at that time was a closed shop to most people including catholics. It was run as a family dynasty. Can you tell me how many of Jock's managerial predecessors at Celtic had a place on the board? Just another FF jackanory narrative.


Mo Johnson is a c*nt because he actually sat in a press conference and said he had re-joined Celtic and even pictured in a Celtic top then did the dirty on us.


'JOCK STEIN WAS HUN SCUM'? That's the first time I have heard that phrase. Did Rangers fans call Jock that when they used to refer to Celtic fans as huns?
