The last time I walked up Union Street, (just after the council had f’ucked it up completely)
There were only 3 brands of life.

Junkies
Seagulls ( well seagull s’hite really)
Folk standing in a queue for Primark

I don’t know which was the biggest tourist attraction, but it’s still better than Glezga

[Aldo1983]

Your pint is assured.

Don’t know about the making things up though.
Great book

Where he was from for a start. He wanted to be protrayed as some Highlander. He was of course a nigel born and bred.

It sounds exactly like Glasgow.
Only the weegies are generally fat cun*s that like queuing to get in a Greggs in the pishing rain.
Always thought that odd behaviour.... standing in the pishing rain to eat chicken a*sehole.

In years to come as folk WFH & offices don’t exist in the size & amount we have just now, city centres will be ghost towns.

You make the common mistake of describing Glasgow by the prism of Sauchiehall Street (pre fire), etc. There's other areas. Like Aberdeen where not everyone is a tink. The food, gig, music and art scene are infinitely better and pre covid, banking seemed to be taking over the city centre.

The thing with Glasgow is that you go from a nice area to a **** hole to a nice area to a **** hole.

I've worked in the area for the last 15yrs, lived there for 6yrs. I'm glad I don't live there now but I'm glad I'm nearby.

I like the "patter" but I also hate some of it.

It shouldn't be defined by two teams that play there. Most of the dicks that cling on to that are from out with the city itself. Most folk get on regardless of their religion, etc. It's not always the case in rural Ayrshire or Lanarkshire.

The ghost/haunted tour organisers will make a killing (pun intended) . Every cloud and all that.

I don’t think he ever tried to be anything else, the English gent through and through.

He was in a higland regiment though, and I believe, the SAS during the war.

I think that was all debunked as well. I'm sure it's the Moon's a Balloon where he claimed he was from Kirriemuir.

[donsdaft]

Nah

[Aldo1983]

Nah

He always claimed he was born in Kirriemuir.

Sportsound podcast with my childhood hero, Eoin Jess. Turned down Rangers as a youngster, gave Gazza some cheek, chose Coventry over Sampdoria just to get Aberdeen a fee. If only we had him in the no10 position going into this season...

DM wouldn't play him as he wouldn't track back enough.

I listened to it this morning and wondered at what point they were going to start talking to him about anything other than Rangers. "Eoin, tell us about your time at Rangers on an s form, you made your name against Rangers in the '89 cup final, what about '91, what was it like playing against Gazza" etc etc etc. Sadly typical of our weegie-centric media and a missed opportunity to hear the AFC related musings of one of our finest.

Danny Rogers letting one in from 35 yards that I’d have saved.
Showing exactly why he was never good enough for Aberdeen.

And yet he would still have been a better choice than Clangers.
