    No, you're wrong, simple as that.
    We all know it. You can't kid anyone. Aiming this chant at clubs with support bases which are mostly made up of Protestants. It is pathetic.

    Absolute bollocks Keith.

    "The Protestants/British are going bust"? WTF does that mean?
    I don't care about your stupid little chant. The truth is it is put on walls as graffiti and is chanted towards clubs whos fan base is mainly Protestant. "Go on home ya Huns". We all know what it means.

    Oh! I forgot to add to that summary!

    When Celtic fans talk about fenians, or sing about fenians - this is of course in an entirely different manner to the "Catch all term for catholics" and is therefore not insinuating religious boundaries whatsoever.

    Reclamation of the term?

    Careful now, what you're saying is one step away from saying that its ok to use the N word pejoratively because rappers use it in their songs..

    How the hell do you know what support is mostly made up of protestants or otherwise?? Please fill me in on this, maybe you could write up a definitive list so everyone will know.
    I genuinely couldn't give a flying f*** what religion someone is. I have a lot of mates and neighbours back home who are protestant, it means aboslutely nothing to me. I don't judge someone because of their religion, race, colour, sexual orientation etc etc.
    Think what we have from you here is a classic case of transference. Because you view people in a certain way, it doesnt' mean that these same people view you in the same way.

    Remember 'the keith' (the arsenal fan), everytime you point a finger, there are 3 pointing back at you.

    You can ignore the chant being painted on walls and outside Orange Halls all you want. Most Rangers fans know what it means.

    It also makes no sense. If you are trying to aim a chant at Rangers supporters, then don't tell them to go home. It makes no sense.

    The night before I was confirmed by Archbishop Thomas Winning, the words 'No Pope' was painted on the wall of my Chapel.
    What's your point?

    Give us your list of teams with 'mostly protestant fans' please. Are Arsenal made up of such??? As for this 'most' rangers fans, speak for yourself.

    Oh come on. Used in the dying minutes with Rangers consigned to defeat i would gather it makes perfect sense, the age old art of rubbing it in when the fans are filtering out. Same as "we can see you sneaking out" etc

    Dundee and Kilmarnock used it in your last two home games with fans slipping off home in the final minutes, bigots that they are :rolleyes:

    This is why celtic fans are revelling in yer club's misery, these constant attempts to be offended tar us with the old firm brush that we're as bad as one another. We aren't and that's why many Celtic fans are delighted to see a future beyond Rangers

    It happens even before the end of games. Chants telling "huns" to go on home.

    We aren't the same. We are the people. ;)

    Just like God save the Queen or WATP. Just old sayings. Perhaps now you understand why people get offended over words like Hun.

    Oh jesus titty****ing christ. A football teams supporters claiming to be better than other teams fans! Shock of shocks!
    Got to laugh at asking where that leaves Celtic fans, I think you may be missing the point of football chants now.

    Whats getting dragged out next?
    The Red and Black socks story? Maybe The Bouncy one?
    What about the "Why is Dublin mentioned in Follow Follow?" debate?

    Drivel is pretty much bang on.

    Owing to the explanations of fenian only being a term used for IRA supporter and not a catholic in general..can someone explain the refs connections on Saturday to Irish republicanism for me please?

    BTW "Go home ya huns" is no more/less than singing "cheerio cheerio" or "show them the way to go home". Some ***** here clutching at straws to either be offended/justify their bigotry.

    And as a sidenote Ive got 4 friends I can think of who have brothers/sistsers who support rangers and they openly say "my dad/mum/sister/brother" is a hun. please explain..?

    You know what's scary?

    You actually seem to believe what you are saying. This ****ed up world of Rangers and Celtic actually seems clear in your heads, black and white - they're bad, we're good.

    If we use fenian, it's fine. If they use fenian, it's not.
    If they call a ref fenian, then it's religious bigotry. However if we call Walter Smith "Orange Bastard" it has nothing to do with religion whatsoever.

    Rangers fans find the term "hun" offensive - ach sure what do they no eh? They're just fascists.

    I'm out.
    I'll be back when someone attempts to talk football again.

    I actually agree with Eirebear here, Fenian is not in any way shape or form a sectarian term and anyone who takes offence to the use of the word is just looking for something to take offence to and clearly does'nt actually know what a 'fenian' is.

    That said the same of course applys to the term 'hun'.

    Now can we just leave this thread to actual football talk and cut out all this tit for tat sh*te, just ignore TheKeith and it becomes alot easier, have a read of some of he's views in the political forum and you wioll get an idea of what you are dealing with here :rolleyes:

    easy:

    They're either idiots or you're full of it.

    The Paul McGowan story which was printed today shows how retarded it is to get offended by 'fenian', or even 'provo' ;)

    In the very same way it is retarded to get offended by the term 'hun' as Eirebear would say cake and eat it ;)

    Thats called context though lubo, change fenian there for any term relating to Celtic and its still offensive, thw word fenian in itself is in no shape of form offensive

    Oh ffs, you really are hurting and lashing out all around you. WATP has sinister connotations to a minority of uneducated morons in your support. i dont find it offensive, more laughable really. As for the last part, of ****ing course not. :rolleyes: Not sure about the bouncy though
