Might have been an idea to tap him up for them. Ronnie did give Glasgow a loan of his haps, I don't think it's the first time either. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did see on one forecast some rain Monday morning but nothing much after that so hopefully should be ok. All the best for your trip. Hope we don't lose by too many.

scoobydoo 2,254 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Having married a Glasgow lass who was living in England and being an englishman becoming apart of a very welcoming scottish family , i was advised whilst out and about in Scotland to be wary of the fact that some see certain terms used to describe a scotsman as being very offensive and some of those terms have been used on this thread, so i can see why some have not taken it as banter and others not realising the terms are being taken as offensive.

I think this is fair. I’m not necessarily offended though I just think it’s a bit wide of the mark and not very funny. I wouldn’t go about calling Irish people paddys for example. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had some laughs with the different terminology for things , when father in law came down for our wedding, the next day i took all the men to the local supermarket for the reception continuation supplies , at the checkout he asked the young girl if he could have a wee poke to say she was a bit shocked was an understatement and it was my turn to advise the young girl what he was actually just asking for, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted October 31, 2021 Whilst the whole "jock" thing doesn't really offend me I do wonder what people opinions would be of other derogatory terms used to describe a race of people. Don't see why the faux offended on here think things like that are acceptable. As far that nonsense that the people in our cities are less friendly than elsewhere what utter BS. Spend more than 5 minutes in the country before coming out with sweeping generalisations. I got slaughtered for generalising your fan base you've just generalised about 2m people. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
