All I can say is a lot of these folk were absolutely great people, we were born into this, and most people would help out anyone (I’m still friends with guys I grew up with) friends for life..... so many great people and memories, laughs and so much learned, Glasgow’s some place 👍

      I think it’s a language. English is full of words from other languages. Portuguese and Spanish are really similar. Going by your logic, you could say Portuguese is a dialect of Spanish... Scots has words from English, Scandinavia and Gaelic. Is it really just a dialect? I get the argument for it being a dialect but there’s a bit of a grey area here. No clear cut answer. Depends on one’s world view, perspective etc.

I mind hearing that on matchdays no fans ever parked their cars in the scheme - or if they did, they never seen them in one piece again.

    My gang is Rangers FC, just the club and the team, no matter what certain hoolies do at Ibrox. Lots of us couldn't care less for religion or what goes on in Ulster seriously. Some of us are pro-British, others are tremendously pro-independence, all the rest is simply anti-Celtic banter we sing along just to take the piss out of them.
    The documentary as always focuses too much on Catholic working class lads, thus depicting them as naive and of course it's only us Gers who carry the blame of anything bad that is related to Glasgow...
    Just remember we're proud Scots while others won't even follow our national team and pick another one overseas... and keep segregational schools alive when I definitely think they should be shut down.
