what is a 'hun'

Has anyone got a definitive explanation for the term? I mean when did we start calling Rangers fans 'huns'?

Is it too long ago for anyone to remember? or can someone tell me?

 

My old man says it really kicked in after Barcelona 72 calling them huns that is

 

I call loyalists, orangemen and anyone connected with rangers huns

Its nothing to do with religion IMO.

 

Apparently Ian Archer referred to them as such in an article.

 

But ye can find articles on the web about the 50s and how we were called Huns by them too

 

Are you editing peoples posts again Dave??

 

I don't know what you're talking about Graham.

 

Huns, Animals, Teddy Bears; they all refer to Rangers supporters, a lower species of Human!

 

i think refering to all rangers fans as a "hun" is a bit stereotypic. not all rangers fans are protestants, but at the same time i dont think its fair to call anyone a hun, but if its just general banter its o.k. i think its o.k for rangers fans to call eachother a hun, but if a celtic fan did it, it wood be "biggoted". i mean i woodnt like it if someone called me a tim just because i support celtic.....

btw i watched a film and original huns were foreign viking warriors who were evil and hunted ppl down and stretched their limbs and burned them when they found them....dont think rangers fans do that so dont understand were hun comes from

 

I see.............hmmmm

 

I can't believe that you would question my integrity Graham.

hun = rangers supporter or anybody who slightly leans towards rangers i.e. chelsea though a tend tae add * on to the end when im talking about chelsea

 

I think ye might have been employed by Enron before joining TC ye big fraudulent * ye.

 

I use the term for all Rangers fans but rarely use it as an insult unless I'm in an arguement with a Rangers fan or at a Celtic vs Rangers game.

 

This is a bit like 'call my bluff' The real huns were a group of barbarians who gave the roman population a lot of grief before eventually disappearing into obscurity. Hmmm.....

 

1, all gers supporters, dont really use it as an insult unless its to one of them in an argument.
Whens the next match against the Huns again?

 

I think you are being a bit politically correct mate, if they support the animals they are Huns nothing to do with religion!

 

History told us the Hun were the name of Germans during WW1 and that. When he said it, i was like what...?
