Boycott The Lass O'Gowrie Pub

Well, that makes two of us. Happy to draw a line and move on, but thank you for allowing us to give our side of events anyroad.
 
Alot of you are presenting yourself as grade A dicks. The Lass bloke came on here being reasonable, with well constructed counter comments.

Didn't result to petty sniping and in general, presented himself as atleast, literate. Which is more that can be said for alot of you sheep that have jumped on the "anti-city" bandwagon, even after explanations were given.

Agreed - sounds reasonable to me. If I'd been watching City for an hour in a pub elsewhere and they switched it over to the local club's game I'd be miffed - especially as the game was being shown on a 100" projector in the same pub. I'd have gone myself if I'd known how difficult it was going to be to watch the game 'exclusively' on the OS which i couldn't get on to and eneded up on a dodgy Romunian stream for the entire game.
 
Would not piss on the place if it was on fire and there was a Ton of Red Ash on it, if it was burning i would toast a nice Soda Farl on it though..would be like a Juliet Bravo programme.

Hello. Lass O'Gowrie here.

I really do think I should post here with a more accurate representation of what happened.

Three gents had bullied a member of my staff into changing over the 42 inch TV at the back, the TV that was being used for the sound on the Liverpool game as there was a fault on the TV. I didn't feel it was fair on the 15-20 Liverpool fans who had been watching the game with sound up to that point to then watch the game in silence to accommodate 3 people who refused to move to the other half of the pub where the game was on on the 100 inch projector. So I turned it back to Liverpool and asked the 3 customers to move who refused and called it totally out of order.

Yes, the City game was on in German commentary. This was the only way the game was available to us, so it would have made no difference where we had shown it. At no point did I say i hate city and love Liverpool, which was a complete fabrication. One of the party, desperate to have the final say kept saying this is Manchester, our game should be on the biggest screen etc etc etc.

Yes, this is Manchester. A global city and we show games for a huge variety of teams. We are not a City pub. Nor are we a United pub, or an Arsenal pub, or a QPR pub.

I'm sorry people feel the need to boycott the pub, but if you do so please do it on accurate information. I'm sorry this customer feels he's been a long-standing customer since 2988, but I've been here since 2005 and don't remember seeing him to be honest. Given he had to ring up to ask how many TV's we had, I suspect he's not been in for a bit.

Best

PS: Oh and just in the interests of transparency, this is the email I sent to Danny who emailed today informing us of an organised boycott on the forum.

"Dear Danny,

I really don’t see the problem. The game was on the big screen and all you had to do was move with your 2 friends to join the other 2 city fans in that part of the pub. You’ll also notice that Joshua Brookes next door had City on a small telly and Liverpool on the big projector, but presumably that was less of a problem for you.

We cater for all teams at the lass, not just City or United. It’s a policy that won’t be changing any time soon, although we do look out for City as with this Sunday when the only game that is being shown is Sunderland v City, with Bolton v Birmingham, Villa v Everton and Liverpool v West Brom being bumped as a consequence.

Kind regards





Gareth"

Don't worry about it Gareth, if these blues were that bothered about watching the game they'd have been at the ground like 23,000 other blues, (its only 15 minutes walk away).

I won't boycott your pub, and I'd hope any sensible blue would say the same.

Thanks for coming on and giving the other side of the story, if I owned or managed your pub I'd have banned the moaners to be honest :o)
