neilser Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Still have nightmares about your winning goal that night. Powder puff shot right through Billy Thomson's legs. Think from memory it was Peter Weir as well which made it even harder to take. You're right - McGhee scored first, then McAvennie equalised. Simpson scored and then Somner equalised before Weir got the winner. McDougall and Strachan scored in the first game - both sides were very strong back then.

Exglasgowasc Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Aye a great night. I too was only 16. At least I was dry of sorts that night being near the front of the bench seating in the covered bitty across from the mainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Is Clatty Pats the most overrated club ever? It was shite. A last resort. Only the desperate and the old went. An honourable mention to Bonkers. Like a temporary prison. Full of bampots which was normally good as that meant bottom of Hope Street was to be avoided. Only went twice with work folk. Leaving you ran the gauntlet as folk hung outside at the bus stop looking to catch your eye for a ruck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnt Post was always a good starting point on Lothian Road, the Cowgate Subway was also always a great night along with The Kitchen. Obviously an honourable mention to my old University Union QMC in Corstorphine. I had a crush on the blond bartender at the Burnt Post in the late eighties maybe 1990. She was out of my league but I just saw Captain Marvel's new haircut and had a flashback. I used to wear my Paul's denim jacket because I was convinced it made me look old enough to get in. My student union card had a misprinted red star (younger than 18) which was probably more effective than denim. But the jacket was my insurance policy.

This is a random post indeed, this thread finished 3 years ago. Have you been in prison for stalking the bartender ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Toledo Junction in Paisley was my regular night club. In those days Paisley was actually as good as Glasgow for nightlife so there was no need to travel far. I worked in a pub up the road from Toledo, it was called Minstros. The bouncers from Toledo used to drink in the pub before their shift. When I finished in the pub I would walk down and there would be a queue for Toledo sometimes to the end of the road. I just walked up to the front door and got in. I felt like a celebrity, people in the queue were raging, rightly so. Those were the days .... 💃👠👄 If I was to go near a nightclub these days they would think I was there to clean it 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only in my mid 30’s but felt like Methuselah. I nearly got into a fight in the toilets for pulling someone up for skipping the queue. Couldn't get out the place quick enough.

I think in those days the licensing in Glasgow was pretty strict and hardly anywhere had late licenses,.i think clubs maybe had to close at 1am. Paisley on the other hand had more relaxed licensing and so attracted a lot of custom from Glasgow i used to go out in Kilmarnock a lot in those days and the clubs were open to 4am at the weekend, the local council had a deliberate policy at the time of trying to attract the night-time economy..

It was a little earlier than that probably 81-84, I went to live in Jersey from 84-88 but probably had the odd night out in Toledo on one of my trips back home. I hadnt thought of the licensing , you are right, Toledo was open to 2-2-30am ish. I would be hanging around the dancefloor in my ra ra skirt hoping someone would take me off the shelf at the last dance and pay my taxi home. It wasnt to be 😕 You are right about the licensing being relaxed, I popped into Minstros with my friends on one of my nights off. There was a crowd of us and my boss asked if it was a celebration. I said ‘yes its my 18th birthday’. He freaked out, I had been working behind the bar for nearly a year . I never ventured as far as Kilmarnock. That was like a foreign country. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
