Seriously though Dal, should really think about deleting that mate

bit bit its only banter nat no?

Mitre,

C'mon ffs, bigot!

I apologise if i caused offence.

Just got to watch throwing about the 'h' term mate.

No offence taken though, and apology accepted.

Was never a bigoted word, derogatory yes but such is the norm for rival fans the world wide.
Term used for a Rangers supporter. First used by in the judicial deliberation laid down following the infamous rioting of Ranger fans in 1972 after their cup winner cup victory. The judge is known to have said that the fans displayed h*n like behaviour (i.e. rioting charging looting not disimilar from Atilla the H*n). The rioting was abhored by the Rangers F.C manager who said “It is to these tikes, hooligans, louts and drunkards that I pinpoint my message – it is because of your gutter-rat behaviour that we Rangers FC are being publicly tarred and feathered . . . ”

Scotcelt, I was only a wee bhoy in 1972 but I remember the incident well. Sadly the berz on their travels outside Scotland have continued their hooligan behaviour ever since When the berz bad behaviour is mentioned on here, the knee jerk responses from the laptop loyal is 'ffs stoap bringing up Manchester' The history is long and has many many examples of the bad berz abroad. Sad, really sad.

Still, the good news is that it will be a long time before they get anywhere near European football

It became a bigoted word after it started to be used to describe teams who were thought to contain a large number of Protestant supporters such as hearts, Motherwell and kilmarnock. This was confirmed in court.

The reason the teams who get labelled has more to do with their own songlist rather than the religious make up.
Hearts, Rangers and Killmarnock all share a version of a particularly nasty example. Too be honest never really thought about Motherwell one way or the other in regards this topic.

Dont you know heed the world Newcoed yesterday only good things ever happened anywhere
