Incident Outside Priory This Morning

[OddJob]

My mate phoned me earlier to say her brother and his missus were attacked outside Priory at 3am this morning. He has to go to hospital for surgery on his face as he was apparently bottled and his missus had to get stitches too.

 

Bit of a long shot but was anyone in that area of Belmont Street around that time and maybe saw anything? Crazy thing is i was beside there an hour earlier, really pissed off i wasn't there at that moment to help them. Town really is an utter disgrace

[Geoff_Tipps]

Aberdeen certainly is a disgrace. Horrible city come night fall.

[Guest milne_afc]

Think it's just that part of Belmont Street that's a "disgrace".

 

I'm never up that way and never in trouble.

 

Sorry to hear about your friends though - nae flippin' need.

[dazzy_deff]

Tend to agree. Establishments on that street tend to attract mutants. Only place I'd consider on a Saturday night would be Drummonds if there was a gig on. Reason being, exactly as OJ has described. Too much trouble. Priory is a hell hole, has been for years. Sorry to hear about your mates though.

Town is a joke. Only out for occasions mostly now. Some things never change remember being outside Priory few years ago and was a war zone scraps breaking out everywhere.

 

Hope your mate is ok OJ and its no serious injury. Cowardly bastards.

[brownie]

The Priory and Revolution were the beginning of the end for Belmont Street. It used to be that the majority of folk stayed clear of there at weekends and would go to Windmill Brae and up near the Bon Accord baths. Now its Minksville

Sorry to hear about your mates OJ, I hope they're not to badly hurt. The scum that carry out such cowardly attacks need to brag about their " heroics" so names will surface in time and then it's time for a posse to right the wrong.

 

Everywhere is the same nowadays and the early dark just brings the vermin out sooner, the shower of yannie wid tink fucks.

[Dynamo]

interesting...

 

Wind yer neck in.

[Bluto10]

hope theyre OK OJ.

 

worrying trend. and no doubt itll only get worse; as the law dont really punish this sort of attack

[boboisared]

It used to be you only found trouble if you were looking for it. Far too often this type of thing happens in that area of town.

 

Very rarely venture out these days and if I do I'm well away from there.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

You are far more likely to find yourself in trouble in town if you are go to poser bars like Revolution, Tonik & Soul etc. Never get any trouble in what some consider "rough" areas like Market Street or George Street.

 

Then the likes of Priory is just an absolute warzone. Don't think I've been there since a fight broke out after the Holland v Scotland game in the world cup qualifiers in about 2008.

 

Sorry to hear about your mate.

[Foster14]

A mate of mine got jumped by three folk on a Thursday night/Friday morning while walking home from a night out. If memory serves me correctly, it was on Justice Mill Lane. Totally unprovoked, now has metal in his face due to the damage to his cheekbone.

 

Can happen anywhere really, though outside Priory must be the most common place in Aberdeen.

[spamspamspam]

I used to drink in Belmont st all the time, Kef, Vodka bar and even rev when it first opened well all OK.

 

Place has went to shite now though and as its not on the way from brew dog to snafu I have no need to venture past or through it any more.

 

There is plenty of CCTV on Belmont St, police should be able to see what happened pretty quickly if they are interested. I was playing in drummonds one night a couple of years ago, put my laptop bag down to have a smoke when I left, turned my back for a second and the laptop was gone. Police then watched CCTV to watch it happening while findmymac told me exactly whos door I had to knock on to get it back.

[Geoff_Tipps]

To be fair I'm with MT on this one some people need to take off their red tinted classes when speaking of Aberdeen . Place is a complete shit hole, yet Aberdonians always mock Glasgow, Dundee etc. Pretty embarrassing if they seriously believe Aberdeen is a better city. A city full of people with a chip on there shoulder and who are to sacred of change.

[Dynamo]

thought this only happened in glasgow?

 

Happens in every town and city in the UK. But you already know that.

quick google search on the following;

 

Glasgow shooting

Aberdeen shooting

 

Glasgow shooting comes up with several stories of random people being shot in random places.

Aberdeen shooting comes up with several places to join gun clubs, shoot clay pigeons and a gun dealers

 

Peace Index 2013

 

Glasgow rated 10 in the UK and 1 in Scotland for violent crime

Glasgow rated the least peaceful area of Scotland closely followed by West Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, North Ayrshire, Inverclyde. All pretty much the weege IMO.

 

So, more shootings and more stabbings in Glasgow, more violent crime, less peace and quiet, shite quality of life, early death rates in comparison... need I go on or will you now remove your grumpy monday morning life hating glasses and get with the fucking program.

 

Glasgow - shite hole filled with minky shitehole bred people that are more likely to kill you for change for their bus tthan assist you when looking for directions to get the fuck out of there

Aberdeen - a city in decay that has more than its fair share of jumped up, daddy is rich so I can do as I like wanksains but they will only jump you now and again when pissed unlike their weegie counterparts that will stab you before you ask the quickest way out.

 

Aberdeen may not be the city it used to be, it may not now have beautiful clean buildings, its no longer just a overgrown fishing village, no longer has a nice feel to all its areas and yes there are some bams in town with their overprices shirts and shoes looking to prove their worth but to say we need to wind out necks in and realise we're just like Glasgow because a few folk get smashed in the face over a weekend is unbelievable. Maybe its not the general Aberdonian that has the chip...

[Dandydon D]

Got my nose split open while standing outside Belmont pizza place about 10 years ago now. No reason behind it. think the boy just wanted to test out the liz duke sovereign ring he had on.

very rarely out in town these days. stick to pubs and usually home before the night time spacks make it out. Belmont st in particular is a disgusting area at night.

[Sonoftherock]

Spam, there are various ways of looking at things.... think this thread was more about folk getting jumped/bashed in the city centre.

 

I used to live in Nottingham, and although there were real problems with violent crime, particularly gang related shootings, etc... whenever I was out in the City on a night out, I felt much less likely to be randomly attacked or become involved in a bar room brawl. Aberdeen on the other hand, is a far safer city, but there are far more out of control idiots looking for trouble in the city centre.

 

I always had a theory that this was because folk in Nottingham were a bit more weary of others. If you got into an argument with someone in Nottingham, I you picked the wrong person there was a very real chance you could end up getting stabbed or even shot - so folk were less inclined to go out looking for a scrap. On the other hand, in Aberdeen, the worst that's going to happen is that you'd end up with shiner, a broken jaw or a night spent in the lock down. Tanked up lads, who can't hold their beer have nothing to fear in Aberdeen!

 

The city where i currently live is actually worse than Aberdeen for this! The district, probably equivalent to Belmont Street, where all the youngsters go out is absolute mayhem on a Saturday.

interesting theory sotr. probably something in it.

also aberdeen isnt actually that big, so you get more of the village big man syndrome.

 

or maybe its just as simple as the fact that its a night out in the UK.

[minijc]

The problem now is that there are too many people between 18-30 that are on roids and biffed out their nuts looking to make a name for themselves, I call them Geordie shore cunts as they dress like them and want to be Aberdeens version of them.

 

OJ, sorry to hear about that, hope your mate makes a good recovery.

I don't know. It's something I've thought about before. I always wondered why Aberdeen was worst for this sort of thing than the other UK cities where I've lived (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Newcastle and Nottingham). I think the lack of repercussions thing is one explanation, but since moving to Perth I've also started to think that money might be a factor.

 

As I mentioned, Perth, Australia is the only place I've lived where city centre fights/drink related trouble/jumpings, etc are as bad. They both have something else in common: plenty of cashed up young men working in natural resources. Think a lot of these guys think they are invincible... they have money to burn on drink and drugs - too much for some of them to be able handle.

[King Street Loon]

Shite news OJ.

Hope you're mate makes a recovery.

 

I'm seldom out in town these days either.

It's a combination of shite bars, preferring a daytime sesh and too many badly dressed hardman wannabe's going about.

[Bluto10]

im just surprised more of the trouble doesnt have bigger reprecusions.

 

i mean, you pick a fight with someone and it can end up anywhere.

[Karl Fletcher]

Drinking in proper auld mannie pubs during the day is where it's at these days

[Sheep#1]

We're all turning it a right bunch of boring old fuckers these days!

 

I'be had a couple of nights out round Belmont St and didn't see any bother, seemed fine. Although since I live in Glasgow maybe I'be been desensitised to bams acting the cunt and don't even notice anymore.

 

As has been said, Saturday night madness is the same in any British town or city, no worse in one place to the next, just watch the documentary on 4 'Bouncers' and you will see this to be the case. In all my time in Glasgow, hardly seen any fights on nights out and only been caught up in one myself. Considering I used to be out every single weekend for over 10 years, things can't be disproportionately worse here than anywhere else.

[The Boofon]

Have you been sacked from your job due to your alcoholism Karl?

 

FFS that's nae good.

 

Hope you find something else soon.

I see you live in Perth, I'm guessing its all ex pat Aberdonians causing the trouble

 

You probably have something with your theory on why it kicks off in certain areas in town on a Friday/Saturday night. The lack of any real 'trouble' means the trouble we have is not half as dangerous but can be seen quite a lot in town because most kids from Aberdeen havent been brought up with the fear of being knifed.

 

I'd much rather live in an area though that had some fake assed geordie shores types as mini rightly labels them than a place I could get stabbed in a club for speaking to the wrong bird.

 

I'm not saying this was the case for OJ's mate... From the trouble I've seen kick off in the city centre its always starts with fit you lookin at, or get yer hands aff my bird or something just as stupid. IMO its pissed up idiots that cant handle their drink and/or ching and think they're fucking archie. Comes from kids of 25-30 being paid far too much for far too little or from guys that have always had mummy and daddy bailing them out. Its like a scene from a streets song...

 

Hello, hello. my names terry and I'm a law abider

There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer

And when the weekends here I to exercise my right to get paralytic and fight

Good bloke fairly

But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny

Bounce 'em round like bunnies

I'm likely to cause mischief

Good clean grief you must believe and I ain't no thief.

Law abiding and all, all legal.

And who cares about my liver when it feels good

What you need is some real manhood.

Rasher rasher barney and kasha putting peoples backs up.

Public disorder, I'll give you public disorder.

I down eight pints and run all over the place

Spit in the face of an officer

See if that bothers you cause I never broke a law in my life

Someday I'm gonna settle down with a wife

Come on lads lets have another fight

[Bluto10]

sounds like a song about bad_mobby

Irony of it all, class. Really clever lyrics when you listen to who song and the other side of the story. Wish they would make another album, were total class and brilliant live.
