How dangerous is Glasgow

Indeed like any other city except the life expectancy will be about 45....because you get stabbed in the face.
 
dont go into pubs with big black boots on with cargo pants and a jacket as my dad found out about 25-30 years ago, they thaught he was in the bloody army and some guys was going to raid the whole pub, liturally a car pulled up with gunmen outside and me father and his mate ran out back to where there motorbikes was (was a biking trip to ireland) and they went like the wind :p
 
Only reason it's got a high stabbing rate is due to the outskirts. Certain parts of Glasgow are like some 3rd world country, and that's not just my own opinion, that's what the UN said. Nice.

I have a love hate relationship with my home town. It's great for music, things to do, eating, drinking and just generally doing fun stuff. If you stick to the city centre, or jump on the underground to the West End and you'll be totally fine.

You'll enjoy it. It's not any more or any less dangerous than any other big city in the UK.
 
Used to live in Hillhead many years ago which I heard was a pretty bad spot but never encounted any problems at all, considering I was an Englishman!!! :p

Lovely city, fantastic people, great nightlife, full of atmosphere, just like any other city really, have common sense, keep your wits about you and if you see trouble stay clear.
 
my gf's mum is glaswegian, i've been up there a few times as an english guy. they live in the old tennament bits, not far from the footy grounds, i've been out to their local pub for birthday parties plus out with them into the city centre for some beers. they are without doubt some of the nicest people i've ever met, really hospitable and friendly with no hint of trouble.

i had a bit of trouble understanding some of them at first but once you tune in it's possible to work out what they're on about :p
 
the only rule to abide by is drink real irn bru while there, if you drink diet irn bru you will be branded a poofter and chibbed

That's why real men happily drink diet Bru in full veiw of all and sundry.

On a side note, I've had more problems with two weekend trips to London than I have had in 29 years in Glasgow.

Just kidding btw, just remember, don't answer if you're asked if you're a Catholic Pastafarian/Hindu/Buddhist/Atheist/Jehova's Witness or a Protestant one ;)
 
A friend of mine once got stabbed 10 times in Glasgow, but, luckily, his assailant was so smacked out on jelly beans that he lacked the thrust and aim to hit his vital organs, hence my friend lives on.

It's not that neds can't afford guns, apparently its more "personal" to get up to stab someone. It's "the Glasgow way", so I hear.
 
Its fine just like any other city really, im from the east end of glasgow and you dont really want to be walking about there at night.
 
Glasgow is fine! All you need to do is carry around a bottle of Buckfast with you. If you get stopped/cornered/threatened - just throw the Buckfast in one direction and leg it in completley the opposite way.
