Around Peacock Gardens by any chance? I’ve digged there years ago. Big Rangers area. It was when Rangers played Celtic in the cup final. 90/91ish.I was I. Glasgow for the whole of the 2018 World Cup. I was digging in Hamilton and walked into a pub with my England shirt on for the Croatia game and got a free pint because of my bravery. I’ve got the balls of a lion. Apparently I was very lucky I walked into a Rangers pub instead of a Celtic one.
Like - ’when are you going to get a round in?’I’ve known loads of Scots over the years: neighbours, colleagues, classmates at uni, people I’d call friends… and all of them like the English, especially Northerners.
I’ve always thought Mancunians and Glaswegians are similar in sense of humour and welcoming nature.
It’s like anywhere though, there’s always a knob head who’ll have a go. If a Scot walked into my local on his own with a Scotland shirt on for a Scotland game, we’d invite him to sit with us and enjoy the game amongst others… but I know of other lads in the pub who would say things to provoke a reaction.
I was working near Ayr a couple of years ago and we stayed at the Mercure Hotel in town centre. They're was a sports bar next door called Smiths if memory serves me right . I had a good night in there watching City put 6 past Shaktar. We had a few ventures out around town and it wasn't that bad , still a few dickheads knocking around though. Just like any Northern town. I'm sure if you keep a lid on things, everything will be fineGoing up to Turnberry with 8 lads this week to play golf.
We will be watching futba in a bar , 2 questions.
1 , have any lads had any good, or bad experiences watching England up there.
2, Have any Scottish lads any advice on tactics when watching England up there.
We are not sure if we are going full England shirts, singing futbas camin hame or not.
We will be drinking so that is not up for discussion.

It was a shithole but was a right laugh at times, also the New Market and Behind the wall in FalkirkRoman Bar shit hole of a pub.
Be nice to and around people and they will be the same is the general rule wherever you are in the whole worldGoing up to Turnberry with 8 lads this week to play golf.

The OP makes it sound like he’s watching it in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. My advice is if any freckled ginger haired local comes slobbering over you just chin the ****

It's Fitba. If you meet someone who calls it Futba, you have landed in the wrong country.Futba? Thought the Scots 'n Picts always said 'fitba'? Or is it simply the difference between east 'n west coasts? Magicpole please come to the thread and offer us a definitive statement on what we are to say if we are watching the England v Denmark FOOTBALL match north of the border!
Fuck all will go wrong. You will have a great time watching every one laugh like fuck if you get handed your arse by the Danes. Same deal if you win. Everybody will then say, the Italians will do you. Enjoy.Funny enough I was going to book a table at the Smith bar, but finally booked at " Willie Wastles" what could go wrong in a bar like that for eight ageing English foooty fans.
