Eh? I said "I'm waiting to (o)", you call that aggressive?

I don't think there's anything stated so far in this thread that could be construed as aggressive, apart from your last passive aggressive post. If you go through life with that level of sensitivity then you've got more issues than I previously had you down for.

Admit the fact, you can't accept that you've made a mistake. You know which comment was aggressive. I merely baited the hook, sure in the knowledge that you would bite. There is in certain Scots a fierce aggressive streak that when controlled, can be a very useful attribute. However, not many of you can control that trait.

How do you figure that then pooch?

How do you figure that then pooch?

How about your average "Old Firm Game"?

How about the streets of Glasgow on just about any day after the pubs have been open for more than five minutes?

How about two drunken Scots in an airport?

or...

The Austrians entertained the crowd of 22621 with some intricate ball work but were worn down by traditional Scots aggression and Hearts won 5-1

What about your average "Old Firm Game"? Have you ever been to one? I've been to many and never seen any trouble.

The streets of Glasgow are as safe as any other UK city and probably safer than most.

Just the usual ill informed pish I would expect from a narrow minded flea farm like yourself.

I like Scotties Lassies from Glesga, and only was there once so can't judge how safe it is there, but I think it was mcquiggd from this board who contracted there for couple of years and he was mugged a few times I think - dunno maybe he was wearing big gold chain on his neck to show he is a contractor

I must admit that he is indeed supported by some statistics in the past (whether they are correct or not I don't know...)

Scotland has second highest murder rate in Europe

Scotland has the second highest murder rate in western Europe and Scots are more than three times more likely to be murdered than people in England and Wales, according to a study by the World Health Organisation.

The study, based on the latest crime figures from 21 western European countries, finds that only Finland has a higher murder rate than Scotland.

Scotland's homicide rate is 2.33 deaths for every 100,000 people each year, compared with 0.7 in England and Wales. In Spain it is 1.02, and in Italy 0.96. Germany has western Europe's lowest murder rate: 0.68 per 100,000 people.

Article continues
While Finland's high murder rate is attributed to its liberal penal policy, which sees offenders sent to jail only as a very last resort, Scotland's rate is put down to the use of alcohol and drugs.

Almost half of murders in Scotland are committed by people under the influence of drink or drugs - particularly in Glasgow, which, despite its successful effort to shed its hardman image in the city centre, is still plagued with violence in its east end and hinterland estates.

Scotland's second city is in fact the murder capital of Europe, with about 70 killings each year. Much of the violence is caused by gangs vying to control the city's drugs trade.

But a culture of young men carrying knives also plays a part.

Official figures show that serious crime in the city has risen heavily: murders increased by 19% from 70 in 2003 to 83 in 2004. Attempted murders rose by a third in the same period, from 343 to 459.

John Carnochan, head of Strathclyde police's violence reduction unit, said the figures showed "new thinking" was required, and although a great deal of money had been spent, levels of violence remained "unacceptably high".

Annabel Goldie, the Scottish Conservatives' home affairs spokeswoman, said a zero tolerance approach to policing should be adopted.

The WHO report follows a United Nations report last week which said Scotland was the most violent country in the developed world: more than 2,000 people were subject to a violent attack each week, more than 10 times official police figures. However, the report's claim was disputed by politicians and senior police officers.

Another study from the University of California, to be published later this year, will claim Scotland has a higher homicide rate than America, Israel, Uzbekistan, Chile and Uruguay.

To be fair, I did get chased down London Road by some eejit with a carving knife a few hrs after a game in 89. Having said that, he was a londoner bonehead, presumably on an exchange program with his cretinous cousins from south of the river.

I think noddyney is quite appropriate!

Wow, talk about stereotyping. A few decades of loutish english behaviour overseas, football fans rampaging through european and english streets, shootings, stabbings, drink fuelled argy bargy on the weekends, young men pissing on a dying women on the street and you've got the cheek to come out with this kind of rubbish. Pot, kettle, black I'm thinking.

While we're on it, baited what hook exactly? I responded, quitie civily I believe, with a tone of disbelief that you could make such a stupid comment. Which part of this is aggressive, or you still going to keep avoiding a simple question with some more passive aggression and assumptions about my personality based on my nationality?

BTW point in case?!?! Care to elaborate on that, or are you insinuating that me getting the use of "to" and "too" wrong is the equalvalent of walking into a costa coffee and demanding some bevvie?

Or was this:

I'm waiting to.
