Aberdeen fans - sectarian banner...

[Quinns Forehead]

I did enjoy Leeds fans singing god save the king to the Liverpool fans while they bood. Then Liverpool got beat which was even better.

Imagine so much hate and war in the world cause of some made up shite and which story you choose to believe.

Roll au rub

Wether it’s being a bigot or a racist or some twisted ideology that fuels these fools, why not just go and watch a game of football. I can never understand any of it. We are all related any how’s.

Possibly goes back to the Jacobite rebellion in the 1740's when Bonnie Prince Charlie (Scots Catholic) was defeated by the army of George II (English Protestant of Hanoverian birth). George's father was referred to in Scotland as a "wee wee German lairdie). They regarded the Stuarts as the true king. Everything in Scotland and NI seems to go back to 1688-1745.

Exactly this. The term Hun is a familiar derogatory term used by Brits for Germans in the two world wars...but in this instance it is being used as a reference to the German origins of the current British royal family. It is an easy dig for Irish Republicans to use against those who swear allegiance to the Crown (in this case, Rangers fans).
That, condensing it down, is what it's about.

Why was God save the king played at a random football match?

It wasn’t played Leeds fans sung it to wind the scousers up & it worked

Banner is dreadful but is it sectarian?

I mean the OP has thrown the equivalent of a pebble in the Atlantic whilst trying to score cheap shots when his own club drowns in sectarianism on a weekly basis.

Funny that. Kill all Taigs is a phrase that originated in Glasgow in the 1940s as your good guys were advocating for a bit of ethnic cleansing.

In more recent years, the onion bears have on their travels been pasting the phrase on their banners and sticking them about the place on their travels. Here’s some of their recent work in Scotland…

I suspect that some Aberdeen supporters have been aggrieved at Rangers passion for the idea of murdering catholics and this bed sheet today was an attempt at firing back at them. Hence “Kill all huns”.

You might even say the perpetrators are making themselves out to be the victims here?

Whataboutry at its finest. Shameful.

I'm sure the Wigan owner, once he's eaten his kedgeree, will be on the case.

Really?
Can I throw in the German nationality of Martin Luther.
I was sure that was the link to the hun tag all the time I lived in Scotland.

 

[bomber]

during the First World War orange order and Rangers men in Glasgow took jobs in shipyards to avoid having to serve their country in France.

Wadnt like to of been next to them in the trenches.

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

There’s 2 options really

The various clubs up there can all call each other out every time they do something which just makes them all look like idiots,

Or the majority of normal fans can stop giving them all the attention they desperately crave and carry on with our normal lives.

 

[vinegar hill]

Really has it ever been any different up there.

 

[Yahrba]

It's a derogatory term used by Catholics against Protestants.
Same as Rangers call Celtic "Tims".

I think its more specifically the rangers supporting ones than protestants in general

"kill all huns" is a phrase which is splattered all over the walls of Belfast and other areas of Northern Ireland. That's not there for Rangers fans.

It is sectarian.

Ive never heard it used in any context other than when rangers supporters are being referred to

 

[DieselBert]

an injury that the family friendly, sectarian fighting, anti-bigotry Aberdeen FC still celebrate to this day.

Ian Durrant is probably the most talented Scottish player ive seen since I've been watching football( I'm just too young to have seen Dalglish) to celebrate ruining the career of a player who could have been your national teams best player is crazy.

This . Mind they all should be arrested . Last i knew threats to kill is a criminal offence

 

[Mowgli]

Scottish football is the pits.

Shite football
Pretendy big clubs with their 2 team Mickey mouse trophies.
Arsehole fans.

Hope all the clubs up there go bust.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Disgusting from an increasingly embarrassing support but not sectarian.

The word Hun isn't just Mozzie isn't anti-Islam. But put the words Kill All in front of them it is.

 

[Scotsmackem]

I must admit last time I worked there was mid 2000's. Worked in Aberdeen, Glenrothes, Glasgow, Bathgate, Alloa, Kilmarnock and a few others which ill remember on a different day. Always enjoyed the places. I know a few Southern lads who never felt as comfortable as us NE lads. Sad if it's changed in that time.

It's not changed
