Tbh I would think that anyone getting held up by a parade along a main road in a car or bus is likely to spout something similar. I'm sure i have said worse about cyclists. And even cows.
f**king Hun cows?

Maybe they said something like...

f**king hun...dreds of them?
f**king hun...gry, so I am?
f**king hun...ky dory's abandoned us as our sponsor?

Saw the video. Let's call a spade a spade. It's stupid, indefensible and shouldn't have happened.

Ah get over yourself ffs. Put 30 or 40 young nationalist lads on a bus who already on a bit of a high from a sporting success, and have them held up by a loyalist band parade on the road and WTF do you expect them to do? Besides, this wasn't a sectarian song.

This is only a story because the likes of Arlene and the Newsletter 'journalists' want it to be one.

Which was the more provocative action after all? Two loyalist bands parading up and down the main street of a Catholic town, or a groupf of lads singing among themselves on their own bus? ANd it's the lads that are being called provocative? Jesus wept.

The phrase "pile of F***in Huns" is quoted in Belfast Telegraph but I haven't seen the video.

/Jim.

That seems to be doing the rounds alright.

Considering it looked like a bunch of young girls walking passed at the time, doesn't look good.

Then no point getting offended when a tricolour is burned on a bonfire etc. We in the GAA talk about being open to all, non-political, non-sectarian. Doing this simply does us no favours and gives the detractors the stick to beat us with. We are better than that.

How times have changed (for the best too) where the headlines on the news is someone shouting from A bus calling someone a "Hun"...25 years in Maghaberry should suffice for that crime ::)

To be honest, most of us have been caught behind a march or re-routed etc. Frustrating as it is, you might mutter "for fucks sake", or "them bollixes never quit their marching" or something similar. But you wait a few minutes or do a u-turn. To be honest, that was the behaviour expected of primary school kids.

Whether anyone knows about it outside the bus or not, grow up lads.

So burning your neighbours flag on a bonfire in public is the parallel to singing a non-sectarian song in the confines of your own private bus?

All of this. Let's call a spade a spade as well and state that the Catholic/Nationalist communities in Northern Ireland are light years ahead of their Protestant/Loyalist counterparts when it comes to trying to drag Northern Ireland forward in a fruitful light. That's exactly why incidents like this create a 2 steps back situation for the C/N community and the GAA and deflates their cross community efforts. The other side don't give a f**k about anything except red white and blue and all that goes with it, and they're happy to wallow in welfare and attempt to eat their flags at the expense of the success of their communities, all under the guise of culture.

We're better than that. At least we should be.

The reality is that teams on a bus will always sing songs, particularly after a victory. If you seriously expect that a group of 30-40 singing young men will all ignore a loyalist band parade holding up their bus, then you're just being sanctimonious and SERIOUSLY not living in the real world.

It was bad......

A terrible f**king act...........

Yes, teams will sing songs after victory. But seriously, they're grown men, not children.

People get too easily offended about things like this. It was fairly harmless and everyone knows what the marches represent. The Unionists will try and seize on and turn it into an anti GAA thing but f**k them.

The older and wiser you get the more you turn a blind eye to these things. Huge amount of Paras flags up in towns with significant nationalist populations over the past few weeks. I wouldn't bother rising to it anymore, it just shows what the mentality of unionism is.

Agree fully.  The greater the number of flags, the greater the unionist insecurity in their position.  Changing demographics, no longer a unionist majority as we approach the 100th anniversary of the failed statelet that is NI, increased border poll discussion .... this is only going one way for Unionism ... and deep down they realise that.
