It's rough as **** on non-match days! Been in it loads pre/post a gig at the Barras! Witnessed a good few fights! GCC council want to shut down as much of the Barra's area as possible as it's prime real estate ... flats and offices!
Pud I have enjoyed my pints in Bairds , as in many other Celtic pubs . To be honest The last time I was in towards the end of last season , I thought it had gone down hill a bit , however I fully intended to go back again soon . I never had any problem with anyone annoying me about buying counterfeit or smuggled goods. I find it Hard to understand Loudens the bigoted hole that pours its bigotry out on the street is allowed to carry on trading.
It's friendlier on match day but away from matchday is mental... fights, glassings, drugs etc The Glaswegian was worse than the Louden, and that lost its license two years, maybe soon the Louden will be targeted.
Walked into Bairds wan day.... "you're no from roond here"..... "no **** mate. These are all my own teeth". We played West Ham in. A testamonial and there were a couple of happy hammers in there. They were ok till a few more walked in and I knew it was gonna get pwopa nawty. I'm a big fella and so are the 3 lads I was up with. One was a bouncer at the time. It was just about to kick off when the biggest, Glaswegianest man I've ever seem put his arm around me and two of my mates and pointed at the Hammers fans as though we were all part of "Team Mental" together.... "Youze........Youze are All ****ers". The West Ham fans agreed with him but Glezgasaurus wasn't happy. Thank **** Frank McAvennie walked in that very second and for that one moment he was like Kofi Annan. Peace broke out in the Gallowgate. Place was a kip. There were photos doing the rounds lately of the toilets. You wouldn't let a Hun **** in there they were that bad.
A crowd of upstarts of Celtic fans who when they can post anonymously pretend that they were born with a silver spoon up their arse. It's far from first class modern facilities some of these boys come from, using grass to wipe their arses. I doubt there is a bit of hearsay involved in talking about non match day events. Bairds was not closed for Health and Safety issues but for a Fight in 2011. It shows you how busy the Glasgow Police are when it took 18 months to answer a call. That's what happens when all the police resources are used up monitoring Celtic fans. It maybe the Glasgow Police policy to close down small "past their best" drinking establishment, but impartiality would have been shown if they had already closed the Louden.
I prefer to use moss. It's softer and has the added bonus of being wet so leaves our arse nice, clean and cool.
Explain yourself ,Tom, I didn't realise you too had been demonising a Celtic institution . The fact that the police used their strange powers to close Bairdsc a couple of days before one of the biggest games of Celtic ' s season and leave Loudens untouched shows their lack of partiality.
