**** me...glassing someone is totally decrepit... hope its not true

Was this quite a big deal when it happened, because it's the first I've heard of it!

What exactly is 'glassing'?

Sounds horrible but frankly don't have a clue what it is.

Glassing is a physical attack using a glass as a weapon. Glassing can occur at bars or pubs where alcohol is served, and a drinking glass or bottle is available as a weapon. The most common method of glassing involves the attacker smashing an intact glass in the face of the victim. However the glass may be smashed prior to the attack, and then gripped by the remaining base of the glass or neck of the bottle with the broken shards protruding outwards.

Common injuries resulting from glassings are heavy blood loss, permanent scarring, disfigurement and loss of sight through eye injury.

In the United Kingdom, there are more than 5,000 glassing attacks each year

Hope that helps

I don't think I'll ever understand humanity's obsession with alcohol...

If the allegations are true, hopefully we'll never see the (potential) mug in a Scotland jersey ever again, something that the SRU's footballing counterparts have been all to accepting of as a 'consequence of modern football'

I remember a house party gone wrong last year where about 5 or 6 people were glassed...absolutely sickening seeing what it can do to people One absolute degenerate bottled a girl that same night too thankfully it was ensured he got what was coming to him.

Aye, seen glassing happen in a pub and the damage it can cause is shocking.

**** me, you UK people really have a problem with alcohol and wanting to fight all the time...

I'm sure this kind of thing happens everywhere, but honestly from the way it sounds it has become a commonly known term in the UK, to the point where it's part of the drunken conflict culture over there. I can imagine when people are really drunk and get angry it's so well known about that it's a lot quicker to occur to what's left of peoples conciousness. It happens in New Zealand too, (it's happened to me twice in my life) but I do know that it doesn't seem so common over here.


If you'd like me to bore you with a short story, the most recent conflict I got into was unfortunately in the weekend. I was leaving a 24/7 dairy when this huge blonde woman (probably 6ft2 and had some decent shoulders too) gave me a shove as I was leaving with my food. I foolishly replied with "As Hulk Hogan's sister, you should set a better example". She grabbed me my the collar and wouldn't let go (should've said a shorter sentence). I had no choice, couldn't do a thing, so just stood there saying "can someone please get Big Bird off me"!!! Next minute I was surrounded by four or five drunken Romeos who hadn't picked up that night and they all wanted to do me over for her affections. One shorter guy said "You want a piece of me then do ya?". I said "No thanks, I've got fried chicken and chips". That went right over his head. Anyhow, my Indian mate Rahul who runs the store called the cops and I got to leave eventually.

The English got the fine tradition of introducing a glass beverage container to a fine member of the public from Australians as it is one of our Favorited past times, I've seen a few glassings they're not pretty, I've also seen an attempted glassing with tempered glass, the guy swinging the glass broke his wrist where as the guy who got hit just ended up with a large egg on his head.

Okay so now we know you get attacked by mannish women in NZ, get glassed in Australia or the UK and probably fondled in France. :lol: Maybe Sweden would be better, busty blondes battering you into submission the only way they know how, sounds tolerable.

I really can't imagine Max Evans doing summat like that - he just doesn't seem that sort of aggressive guy off the pitch!

Alcohol does stupid things to the nicest of people ...one of my close friends turns into a raving lunatic after a few too many ..never had a go at anyone with a bottle but tends to swing a bit if someone gets up in his grill

Fair play, yer right there. Still hope it's a bit of a misunderstanding though - it's nice seeing a bit of flair in a Scotland jersey, dont want that ruined!!
