I'd seen it on the news but they only showed a bit of it not the whole clip.

Explanation to English viewers: there are no penalty fares in Scotland.

Brilliant. I caught a shortened version of this on the news and thought it was excellent.

Good stuff from him.

And I've been called "big man" a few times when I've been in Northern Ireland (where the accents and words are similar in parts to the Scottish). It is a an affectionate term for big or people like me that are simply Michelin Men. ;)

I completely agree with chucking the wee toe-rag off the train. He's now bleating to the media about assault etc. Of course he was assaulted, but after serious provocation by him of all the people on the train.

But towards the end of the clip, did I see that right, it looks like some other Big Man, not the original one, actually shoved the conductor off?

That was a great video. It showed just how insolent today's youth is and that the little squirt got just what he deserved. :lol:
