The bizarre abuse their group of 16 year old virgin fans were singing to us throughout and then giving me in the Morrisons afterwards.

Are BSC the first fully inbred football club?

[hibby rae]

Seriously?

Aye, he was marking Doidge at the time, who seemed quite confused by it. The linesman didn't seem bothered at all and he was standing right next to the guy as well.

Tbf everyone in the crowd seemed to find it funny more than anything else.

[Kato]

Might be a tad bias of me but after seeing their bench and shots of their support my natural instinct was "huns."

[Pretty Boy]

What's with the Weegies obsession with burning spoons?

Probably due to an ignorance about the scale of the heroin and subsequent HIV problem currently ravaging Glasgow.

It's worse than Edinburgh in the 80s albeit there probably won't be as many deaths due to advances in medicine.

They have similar problems with toothbrushes.

Alloa and surrounding areas has a really serious Hun infestation so I'd imagine a lot of the people in the home end were Huns in disguise.

It sounds all very similar to the crowd that followed Irvine Meadow to Easter Road a few years ago.

[Northernhibee]

Hoping the club gets in touch with BSC Glasgow about this. If they do something then fair enough, if not then we should loan two or three promising youngsters out to their main rivals for promotion. Our youngsters get playing time, they languish in the lower leagues and lose out on the revenue of promotion, job done.

Got on the Croy train cause the Stirling one had been cancelled. A few BSC on there and they cheered when Celtic scored against Clyde.

[KingPat4]

Weegies want to be us, they are a jealous lot.

When I'm in Glasgow for any reason, I'm never really happy until the train leaves Queen Street, or I'm on the M8 in a lane with an Edinburgh sign above it.

To call it a sh*t hole is an insult to sh*t holes.

Dundee probably has more Celtic fans than Rangers fans. Huge Irish immigrant population in days gone by. I reckon Aberdeen is closer to majority Rangers than many would think, huns are certainly a very sizeable minority there.

Plymouth Argyle (Rosyth) Supporters was the message on a flag taken by a group of fans to their games many, many years ago - a flag taken to games by several Navy chaps based at Rosyth whose home team was Plymouth. The nickname "The Pars" came from there and just stuck.

To call it a sh*t hole is an insult to sh*t holes.
Agree, can't get out of the place fast enough but the trouble I have found any time I have been unfortunate enough to have been unavoidably through that way, is getting back onto the M8 going east. Signs for Edinburgh before you are on the M8 are few and far between or seem to lead you one way then disappear at the next junction invariably leading you round in circles or onto the M8 heading west. Weegie ploy methinks.

Pretty sure Edinburgh has about double the number of pubs but a smaller population (although that is predicted to change in about 20 years). Probably down to Edinburgh's brewing history, there used to be over 200 here at one point.

I've had plenty good nights-out in Glasgow, but one downside (and I don't know if it's still the case) was all the pubs closing at the same time. It was always total chaos on the streets just after midnight.

I always preferred Edinburgh's staggered closing times for this reason.

I love a 3pm Saturday kick off in Glasgow.

Not much of a fan of Celtic or Rangers, but a Hibs trip to Hampden or a big Scotland game are hard to beat.

A couple before the game but I really love early evening drinking in Glasgow. It seems like everyone in the city is going out and the atmosphere is great.

There are many good reasons I don’t live there though, Edinburgh every day of the week.

[FilipinoHibs]

There is a swagger and arrogance about Glasgow. After London it is Britain's fashion capital. A friend of mine, a tennis coach, shops for his clothes in Edinburgh because he is generally ignored in Glasgow clothes shops because he is not fashionable. They like to show wealth and are quite flassy in dress which you notice when you go out. They are fairly delusional about their football teams. Poor travellers and hate to be outside Glasgow unless in a big group.

But I do like the west end and Byers Road. First place I tasted Turkish cuisine in the mid 1970s and some cracking pubs. They to have had better music scene apart from the punk era where Edinburgh took the lead. Good for a visit especially when Hibs are at Hampden.

Bollox it is. Manchester is fashionably superior to either but maybe not in flassy sense.
Also have to say, Edinburgh punk bands were obscure bar The Scars. Post punk we came into our own.

Bollox it is. Manchester is fashionably superior to either but maybe not in flassy sense.

Rubbish been to Madchester a lot and not a match for Glasgow or London fashion wise. On the punk side Edinburgh was more a venue for the early punk movement than Glasgow. Prior to that the big bands often played Glasgow and not Edinburgh. We had much more stylish punk fans as well.

SKIDS from Dunfermline.

[Iggy Pope]

Dunfermline isn’t Edinburgh and Faye herself says TheRezillos we’re never a punk outfit.
Manchester over Glasgow in every respect of your benchmarks from punks to clobber. To suggest otherwise indicates a basic lack of style.

Remember the Rezillos playing Craigmillar Festival at the Jack Kane. Some of the crowd jumped on stage and attacked them and destroyed the gear.
Was shocking to see

Having had my head booted onto Trongate one night by repeat offenders, I beg to differ. Edinburgh is a far better night out. You’ve lost you’re mind.

Edinburgh city centre's never exactly been a peaceful haven of calm and serenity either.

Lothian Road used to be infamous for trouble.

But, I suppose personal experience weighs heavily.

Mind you, I once got a knife pulled on me by a Hibs fan amongst throngs of Hibs fans walking along Duke Street after a Hearts game. The boy wanted money. I told him that I only had 10p but I needed money for my bus fare. He gave me 5p change. :hilarious

Now, depending on your point of view, that proves Edinburgh is good or bad or somewhere in between. I can't remember exactly the exact sums of money involved but it's true.

That’s an incredibly civil-sounding mugging, Edinburgh in a nut shell.

Manchester is well ahead of Glasgow, IMHO.

Better night out as well.

As someone who lives in Glasgow some of the comments on here are pretty laughable, some for the wrong reasons.

Glasgow and Edinburgh are much the same, some good bits and some bad bits. There are nice pubs and areas you don't want to go to in both and both have great architecture and cultural activities as well as both having their fair share of headbangers. Fighting over which is better is like two bald guys fighting over a comb.

Rather than 2 bald guys fighting over a comb, I think they’re both great cities and it is brilliant that a small country like Scotland can have 2 proper cities that are totally different so close to each other.

The “which is better” chat is tedious - and generally you don’t hear one of the more appealing Glaswegian personality traits when they’re forcing an opinion on you (I’m sure the opposite is true, this is simply a fight I never pick).

Yeah, it was a poor analogy to use as I love both cities.

Manchester in the new wave yes but style that is in the eye if the beholder. Manchester had it in the new wave but Edinburgh in the punk era. Glasgow defo has it now. Have you been to madchester recenty?

[Carheenlea]

I thought it was him I saw on the tele!

Expected a West End luvvie to be viewing from the comfort of the grandstand, so good to see him enjoying himself on the terraces :hilarious

Yes, many times. Love the place. Manchester gave punk rock to the North as any punk knows. Repeatedly calling it madchester dilutes your already losing argument.
New wave. What you on about?

Not only that, but Madchester was a scene that Glasgow could only dream about.

The Exploited were obscure?

No. The Exploited were great second wave punk that went metal. **** the USA? Aye right Wattie ya loveable blowhard.

The Valves. Cannot disagree.

The chat about Glasgow and "fashion" has reminded me that it wasn't always thus. Around 1985-86 season we went through to Ibrox for a game and afterwards were being our usual circumspect/cheeky selves, making our way back to the bus. Before we could get there a group of around 20 or so Stickys showed up shouting at us from across the road. Nothing untoward happened just the usual bigot-banter from them but what stood out was the clothes they were wearing - like something out of a Slade Cosplay Convention, starry jumpers, oxford-bag type trousers, semi-platform shoes.

Let me remind you this was nineteen eighty six (1986). Truly bizarre.

When we got home we were conflicted as to whether to go to the kangaroo Club and hear the latest electro sounds or the Hooch for Yogi Houghton playing House Music (even if we didn't know that was what it was called at the time). The M8 seemed like some magical time machine.

Interesting snaps. What's the story behind them?

It was a long time ago so the details are a bit hazy, but I think it involves a toilet, a bottle crashing, a dashing moustachioed hero and much hilarity.

When I lived down in Selkirk I used to go along and watch them (before they went the way of the famous Glasgow Rangers). BSC played down there in their first season and their fans were the biggest ****bags going. Hated the wee wannabe huns ever since. Having said all that, their chairman seems like a pretty decent guy.

[Galahibby]

My best moment was near the end of the game, McGinn taking a throw in and a Hibs fan pipes up “ your better than John” and quick as a flash he replied, try telling that to my bank balance ! , comedy gold ��

Haha, brilliant :LOL:

[monktonharp]
