Glasgow was so much fun city to live in especially from 1990-1999. I have so much fond memories and everything was so much simple and people was so different as well back than.
It also had downsides. I was only three when this film was made, but the young team culture was bad in the 00s when I was a teenager. Had to be careful where you walked or you’d be a target for wee bams for being in the wrong street, just because their young team fought with the one in your area. I imagine it would’ve been worse in the 90s and earlier. Oh and all the zombie areas of boarded up tenements, packs of junkies roaming the streets. That still exists but nowhere near as bad
@@Glaschu1 I remember all this as well when I was growning up your right, I use to live in Darnley back than and me and my mates got chased by these neds back than many times.
I miss the 90s as well. But also...I remember not being able to go into certain areas because of psychos. I remember getting punched by a random ned while crossing the road at Argyle Street.

Glasgow in the 90s was beset by knife crime, with the highest murder rate in Europe. Scotland's "violence reduction unit" has had some success, halving the number of homicides between 2004 and 2019.

@@Celticsamuraiblue Yeah Torys arent much better. But imagine defending (and deflecting) a bunch of career politicians who have destroyed your city. #cult.
You will see boomer gammons on here whinging about the SNP and how these good old days have been lost thanks to their incompetence (they weren’t good old days they were appallingly bad - mass poverty, 57 years male life expectancy, poorer than parts of the former Soviet Union, terrible terrible crime, terrible terrible sectarianism, violent , nasty and dark) for those who don’t live here (because if you do you obviously know it’s complete and utter nonsense) Glasgow is very significantly better now and has come on immensely. The conservative boomers and gammons just don’t want independence (which is fine) so they make up nonsense. I do wonder though - (a) how does a City that was the 2nd city of the British Empire with a booming economy and 1.2m people go from that in the 1800s to looking like Chelyabinsk with 550,000 (the gifts of the Union presumably stopped around 1880?), (b) this video is slap in the middle of Labour never ending rule (which it looks like we are now going back to) so I wonder what the city will look like in 2040. What other records will we beat? Will they be able to get the life expectancy down past 57 this time?😂
My city is a disgrace the tenants who've lived in high rises for 40 years still wait for a decent house as they go to the bottom of the list to let those who've never paid any contributions go top of the list.Why are Scots hated so much by their own government but to be honest it's a UK wide problem that is causing anger in the citys.So many nice houses just built in the Gorbals and Dennistoun and many other areas but very little chance the citizens who've been living in Glasgow for generations will get one.The city centre is made up of McDonald's,Subway,Burger king then charity shops followed by pound shops and pawns shops and so on.Sauchiehall St resembles a battlefield, closed and the roads dug up.Why pay taxes when we get nothing you'll only see Scots homeless and beggars on the streets nobody else apart from the conmen and women playing kid on violins and accordians who claim to be homeless but all have houses and get benefits. Handing out stolen flowers probably from a graveyard then demanding two quit for it.Drug deaths at record levels every year for decades wiping out generations to be replaced it really is a desperate situation. I feel so sorry for people with young kids or grandkids they will be second class citizens in 20 years,Torys who caused all this ,SNP and Labour they don't care as long as they get their salary's they don't give a damn the lies being told to obtain power then went back on all the promises.
Why do you have the right to a house? Does living in a council high rise for a long period of time make you entitled to a decent house? A wee bit confused
@@cg9856 Does somebody arriving in the country deserve a new build council house that's all I see .No confusion here pal I see what's happening very clearly and it's out of order.A pensioner living in a high rise has more right to a gaff with a garden than someone who's here a relatively short time.ps that pensioner who's paid in all their lives can be any colour or religion the point is they contributed many getting the new builds are young men and women who haven't not even a brother,sister, aunt ,uncle ,granny or grandad who contributed either our Scots homeless at least have that .

@GordonWaddell yeah I get that. But why should Edinburgh have a council boundary of 100 square miles plus (when the city proper is less than half that amount)? Whilst Glasgow is back down to about 68 square miles now? Basically, Glasgow is a city that only has about 1/4 of its modern day suburbs contained within the city council area. Similar to Liverpool and Manchester in England in that regard. ie small city council areas surrounding by so many needless boroughs which contain most of their suburbs. In Glasgow's case, huge swathes of north and south Lanarkshire, west and east Dunbartonshire, Inverclyde, Renfrewshire and East Renfrewshire's populations consist of Glasgow urban area suburbs. In my opinion, local government authorities should be shaken up again to reflect the fact. And an enlarged city of about 1.5M people would reflect Glasgow's true size. And make the city prosper with many nice suburbs paying their council taxes into the City proper. 🤔🧐
@wimpymate I believe it's 102 square miles and has just a touch over 1M people. Which is fractionally bigger than modern day Edinburgh city council area (which is seriously over extended). But don't forget that the likes of East Kilbride and Cumbernauld aren't even included in that figure. I feel that the more realistic Glasgow City Region's figure of 190 square miies and a 1.8M population represents a truer reflection of Glasgow's true metropolitan population. And I think that needs to be brought in as a bonefied local authority in some way. Similar to the Hamburg, Germany model of governance I do believe. Would also make for a much more prosperous City Region with the likes of the Airport at Paisley included. And the more affluent suburbs like Bishopbriggs, Bearsden, Giffnock and Kirkintilloch paying their council taxes into the City Region.
