Libertonian_II Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 IIRC Bernie was a MOD when he was a teenager. Hard to believe now. Can't be much off 60 now. Dont think that he was ever a MOD. Agewise he's 52/53 And yes his bark is worse than his bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Haggis Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Was once in the Balmoral Bar (Dalry of course, not to be confused with the swanky hotel on Princess street) pre-match for a few jars and a man fitting the description of the fine chap in this thread was in attendance with his dog....who at one pint got 'whacked off' by its owner. All rather nastly at the time - the dog looked like he was enjoying it though...wee tail waggling and so forth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edina Erin Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 His repuatation is well known on the green side of the city too... I remember the story about his Dogs' demise, I also remeber him walking into the Central Bar, above the old ABC and confronting a large group of CCS boys and making accusations about the demise of the dog. I think he took a few sair ones that night. This would have been around the late eighties? If memory serves me right, he used to sport a natty line in bolier suits? I also heard a story years ago about him being "intercepted" en route, on mission to fire bomb the hall being used for a practice session by the Rising Phoenix Republican Flute Band.
