Not as funny as they think they are, not as friendly as they think they are, they're bombastic, they're loud, they feel they have to play a character, they haven't a clue about the rest of Scotland and will never hear a good word said about our beautiful capital.  People make Glasgow and sometimes they make it worse.

Typical teuchter patter: making up things about "weegies".

When you read that someone is from Dunfermline or Aberdeen or aw that you realise how their nasty, hurtful words about Scotland’s greatest* city would actually sound when spoken and you realise how utterly invalid their opinion is.

 

*Great meaning large or immense - I use it in the pejorative sense.

The ones I know personally and / or work with; I like, even though they fit some of the stereotypes.

The ones who aggressively ask who my ‘big’ team is while I’m mid pish in Queen St Station; not so much.

Glasgow ain't a city state, m8.

Only 18 years, 8 Scottish Cups and 13 league titles ago. 

Odd that beating a club from Glasgow in the Scottish cup is what Inverness are remembered for, rather than actually winning the Scottish Cup recently. #relevant

I like the daft wee totty weegee lass in my work

I like Claire Grogan

I don't like a lot of the ones that support the Old Firm or the care in the community ones that support Clyde

I like the ones that support the Ants 

The evidence points to a general tolerance of the soap dodging scum then.

Had loads of Weedgie mates over the years and they don't all fit the stereotype but there does seem to be a disproportionate number that do (or maybe I just notice them more). The highlighted bit in particular, one mate is so Weedge obsessed that apparently potato fritters are a Glesga thing, amongst many many other things that are either better in the Weedge or originally came from the Weedge. Banter aplenty.

Marti Pellow is a bit of a w**k.

doesn't he come from Clydebank rather than Glasgow though? It's a bit like blaming Edinburgh for Fish (ok born there but grew up in Dalkeith).
