Jaggernaut Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 The last few times I've passed the Thistle Bar it's been shut. Was never in it since it got refurbished after the fire, but curious to know whether it's gone out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 i would think it had because it was always dead anytime i went by it. i only drink in the woody afore games, think most thistle fans avoided it coz it was a bit pretentious The bottom of Maryhill Rd is not the best place to be pretentious...!

Christ_Puncher Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 It wasn't dodgy at all. No pub in glasgow is really dodgy it's all just hype. If you're an a-hole u can get stabbed anywhere. It's really bad luck if someone starts on u for no reason. i also believe a place is only as hard as u will let it be. Most people who try it on are just loud mouth idiots who need their spirit broken by the aminisitering of one good, sustained character building kickin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christ_Puncher Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 and furthermore, anyone who said glasgow is a hard or dodgy sitting is talkin absolute drivel. Glasgow's pure safe, even when you're in the 'dodgy lol' parts. It's hardly kandahar or mogadishu. People just try put spin on it make it sound hard but its just like anywhere else in britain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People just try put spin on it make it sound hard but its just like anywhere else in britain Every city in Britain has dodgy areas, however you're more likely to be stabbed in Glasgow than anywhere else in Europe. I know it is an old article but I don't imagine that much changes in 7 years. Here is something a little more recent. My friends down here (in England) think it is amazing that I can talk about people having tried to jump/mug me when I was younger as if it is a normal thing that just happens sometimes. In Glasgow I've walked past phone boxes containing junkies shooting up, I've been to the funeral of a guy who got stabbed 17 times in the chest but it turned out the guy who did it was looking for his twin brother. A couple of years later I saw the twin that was still alive on a BBC article having been arrested for attempted murder and aggrevated racial assault. These are things that my friends from all over England have never experienced. Obviously it's unlikely you get caught up in this stuff unless you get yourself into it, but to suggest Glasgow isn't rough is stupid. Just walk about Maryhill and count the number of people you encounter with scars from being knifed across their faces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not live in Nottingham which, correct me if I'm wrong, has the biggest gun problem outside London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Did you not live in Nottingham which, correct me if I'm wrong, has the biggest gun problem outside London? I live in a quiet wee villiage 10 miles out of Nottingham. And they made a mistake when calculating those gun crime figures, taking the number of crimes from the inner city but using the polulation of the entire city. It still has some horrible areas though. Sorry, my earlier post was a bit mental, must have been in a funny mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
