What will happen to the spl if hearts go bust?

Ah well, I must have missed the tongue-in-cheekism of the whole affair, I suppose. It happens, sorry. To raise any further questions would seem numbingly pointless.

Although.....

.....I don't really know what this sentence means, precisely, but must suspect that by "Medro" you mean "Protestant".

Shameful.

 

I took you for an intelligent man Psycho.

By 'Medro' I meant arguing pointlessly and endlessly over something not worth arguing about.



ps I have little interest in religion and couldn't give a **** about the whole Irish/kafflick/proddy thing. If you don't believe me, ask other posters.

 

Well, it's a relief to see that I'm not the only one periodically incapable of detecting tongue-in-cheekism.

I think I'll pass on asking other posters, but good show. That stuff saps the will to live.

 

I thought a Hun was a Rangers fan.

Stereo forgot to stick to the script.

Well played Edge.

 

Speaking of pointless beings with arguments not worth getting involved in and here comes medro

 

No! The seeming disharmony about what the word "hun" may mean is potentially a great argument, Tioga, full of twists and turns. I accept that you may have to have a particular mindset to find such extravagantly convoluted things exciting, right enough, but still.

I hadn't fully understood the potential until I saw the word levelled against Aberdeen - although I misunderstood the context of the delivery, apparently, disastrously ruining my first date with Surreal Dance in the process, but that's not particularly the point. And the point, of course, is that the word "hun" might reasonably be described as being sectarian - just as reasonably as it might also be described as being no such thing. And that, for me, is interesting. But then I have no real friends, so it would be.

 

It is an interesting topic I agree, however Medro cannot and will not accept the fact that his definition of "Hun" is simply that, "His" definition.

I would love to see someone up in a Scots court charged with sectarian hate crimes for using the word Hun as an insult against a Gers fan. In Medroworld it would be an open and shut case because apparently there is only one thing Hun can mean, and that is a Protestant. The Sherrif would be armed with a dictionary which clearly shows the word only has one defintion.

Nothing to see here, move along.

 

shut yer trap russ

 

You're up early wee sacks? Working today?

 

nah, my ****ing pal phoned me at about 9 the ****. I'm on the vals the now. feeling fantastic. Junkies give vals a bad name, best drug ever created.

 

If I could I would hand you a spliff through the internet.

 

I get para smoking weed man. My pals grow "blue cheese." Is that good? aw aye you smoke resin ya hawk

 

What can I say, i'm a cheapskate. £50 an ounce.

Anyhoo, I don't smoke to get stoned, i've been off the ***s for 2 months now (that's maybe why i'm always beeling) and my resin intake has reduced dramatically, I only smoke about a half every 3 weeks. Usually at night.

 

lighten up michael

 

Aye, but, but....you're beeling, Dev. Biggest beeler on here. Favourite song: I Am The Beelrus (goo goo g'joob).

Fact.

Hello. That seems fair enough (although I make no comment on Medro personally) and the word “hun” being put forward as a sectarian slur/substitute for the word “Protestant” may (presently) make no particular headway in Scots law. Whether this will always remain the case, of course, seems open to conjecture. The law often/generally plays catch-up, however, and may regularly be seen to be behind the times. Whether these “times” are desirable or not is an entirely different matter.

(The dictionary defence is okay up to a point, I suppose, but may be quite easily circumvented or trumped by circumstance and perceived and/or actual intention. I certainly wouldn’t want any legal representative of mine making that my only defence, in any event, should I ever find myself up on such charges. Bound to happen one day.)

Anyway, it (presently) requires a degree of good faith to accept the word “hun” as being imbued wth sectarianism, just as it requires a reciprocal degree of good faith to accept that it’s not - but as good faith seems to be lacking on both sides, for some depressingly unfathomable reason, I can’t imagine this will be resolved any time soon.

There’s an agreeably long-winded, perfectly reasonable and demonstrably logic-driven argument to be made in favour of the (current) minority position, however - namely, and very generally, that ”hun” may be classed as sectarian – but I’ll save your eyes the bother. I might use it one day as a weapon against Rebelbhoy in our long-running feud. Don’t tell him, okay, as it would be terrific to catch him off-guard.

And I entirely believe you (because I'm a good person), just as surely as you will entirely believe me when I say that throughout my years in Glasgow I heard many, many instances of people using the word "hun" as a direct, blatant and overtly sectarian substitute for the word "Protestant". I barely thought anything of it - the use of the word itself, I mean - reserving my energies for a more comprehensive despair.

The picture of the Motherwell fans was a bit depressing, though. I intentionally didn't ask SD for any evidence of "thuggish" behaviour in relation to Aberdeen fans, however, as I can think of too many ****ty little examples. But I'm generally unaware of any widespread "Nazi-inspired" behaviours by either Aberdeen fans or the rest of Scottish football fans as a whole. I mean, I'm sure some examples must exist, true, but I'm not convinced this would necessarily paint an accurate or all-encompassing picture of the average skirt-wearing Jocklet.

The main thing, however, is the demonstration of the fact that different people use "hun" in different ways. It's as good a place to start as any.

(Surreal Dance = incarnation of Stereotypist?)

 

Yer a decent enough chap, psycho, but I canny be arsed reading all that.

 

He's a man of few posts but ****ing hell he disnae half make up for it in terms of single attack verbosity.

 

Ah know
