No. What I'm saying is that it is inevitable that we won't be able to at games, and it is an unfortunate price of the pressure being brought on the OF to clean up their chants.
The OF have learnt a lot about being professional victims from their followers in NI, and the focus of the debate will be swung back onto the other teams constantly by the gruesome twosome.
Hibs have dozens and dozens of football songs with a proud history to sing, so we've no need to resort to prehistoric nonsense anyway, so it shouldn't be of any concern for 99% of us.

It’s a problem for me.
Not the singing part, because I’m in the FF where singing is not allowed

But the acceptance that Hun is on the ‘banned list’ just because the Huns say it should be. That smacks of appeasement. And the last time we appeased the Huns, just look what happened. No I don’t mean letting Katie sign for them – I mean the Second World War.
Huns are Huns. I know quite a few of them, and it’s only recently (last 12 months or so) that they have started the “Yes it IS an offensive term” stuff.
Are we allowed to call Dundee United “Arabs” still? Or is that going to be seen as a racist or bigoted term too?
I’m not sure about your comment in bold – are you suggesting that there is some legitimacy to the Huns claim that there is some sort of religious baggage to the term? I honestly didn’t know that if that is the case.
