£6 Million Bank Robber Part 1: Ian ‘Blink’ MacDonald | True Crime Podcast 7 

Good to see Ian again after such a long time and refreshing the stories and characters around the dispersal system in the 80’s and 90’s!

Wheel it's called making shit up.

@@CosmicBackgroundRadiation01 it's not made up he's all the news papers about what he done if you watched it youd know that

@@CosmicBackgroundRadiation01 Yeah he's making up getting 16 years, the newspapers and the court system (records) are in on it too and that scar on his face is CGI.

Its true, his cars been bombed fuck his names was cause when he was younger would have done u in the blink of an eye

@@codykeane6107 dont talk shite,hes making it up lmao, and his scar is real ya muppet

El jefe canny = can not. lol

Not many say ken in Scotland.

@@nealdew71 really? I ken loads a folk that say it

@@benwrong6855 Waur dae ye bide 😂😂😂😂

Edna Mode i was thinking the same thing, maybe shauns just scared to look him in the eye 😂😂

I feel it's less weird, eye contact is weird.

Shaun to used to checking His sixes while having a convo.

Was awkward to watch

I like this aetup

Joe Clutton Yeah, he's a lovely guy isn't he?

Hetalks some shite honest its all bullshit a should know

Whopper bljnk Mcdonald

@@andycolbert6969 My arse.

INdeed, the thingmy you what I mean

Minted James can't wait 💯❗

@@shaunattwoodOFFICIAL great work all round lads. Nice stuff

Hink u might wanty change ur comment jamesy boy 😂😂😂😂😂 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

And then there was the podcast war 😂😂

I agree... this is why I love Shaun's channel. 👍

Me too 😆😆

How can anyone let a known drug dealer host a show like this. He seems to constipated as he gets the words out and seems to think these thugs he's interviewing are cool...fucking disgraceful...

The accent gives it an edge also

Intelligent? How?

@@johnmckee7640 no your cup of tea then, aw this stuff was local to me so I was interested, even Strathclyde Park is like 2 minutes away from me ahaha.

Yes😂

I've spoke to him a few times. He's always been pleasant. Funny guy too but he's nobody's fool.

@@WeeKev1910 well I wouldn't know the score on that front, but hes retired from that life now so wouldn't want to risk getting banged up again, plus hes not a young man anymore. If you are talking back in the day, then losing a couple of fights hardly makes you weak. My knowledge about the guy is pretty limited, but I'm definitely gonna read his book to hear about some of his exploits.

lol

Intelligence ha ha ha ha ha ha

Fings

Obviously you would, idiot

👍😂 no bad lol

Us WeeGees ur pure brilliant, by the way, pal. 👍🏻

@@santoy1000 Fuck yer San Toy ... X Cumbie....

AYE AYE CAPTIIN HRHRHRHHRR

@Bog Standard 😂😂OK big man

@Bog Standard you've got fuck all, if all you can do is trawl through the comments being snide to cunts ya banger😂😂 You've got ignorance + false courage in abundance.

England's full of hip-hop gangsta wannabes. Glaswegians and Irish Travellers are the top dogs in the UK

Crime families & cartels in Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Dublin, Birmingham & London contain some serious individuals that you won't see on internet podcasts.

Ballicks ive hrd this exact same comment from a fella before, you're either that person or its a story that fkoats about kinda like 'i was first onto the balcony" ....

@ Check there channel asshole he's got the interview recorded 🙄

No really, just keep it for urself 😂😂😂

you know i was first on the balcony you was right behind me do you remember now who dares wins bravo zero

Who’s gonna pay the bill! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

@@katwyw8424 😂😂😂

Think the police are just using any opportunity to harass him to get a reaction from him and put him in the paper's, they even went to a function place his Mum's funeral was held trying to stir thingsl

Sorry Cok3 Mcd I meant he turned his back on the likes of serious crime, he's not out there in the barrel of the underworld anymore and he isn't up to his old tricks. Like you say though with the Tesco and plane altercation, trouble will always follow a man of his calibre especially with a history like blinks.

Brilliant 🤣

@Aaron natalie Fuckin magic 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I understand everything and English is not my first language

I its coz hes talking not his normal way of speaking he says that at beggining of film so everyone can understand him bud

@Tommy theCat66 hes talking slower and so people understand him.ie scottish slang words hes not using. No need to be cheeky or be wide abt it

@Tommy theCat66 why delete your 1st comment? Your just no getting the drift of what i meant. Listen to what ian says at near beggining of film then u shld get it 👍

He’s toning it doon but

One of the SAS men was imprisoned years later. National news. Pat Patterson.

what were you in for?

Manslaughter

10yr

Dan Dwrasan think your big man

Aaron Turvey eh ?

Yeah he certainly looks the part, a big stocky geezer with a face that tells more than a few stories. Glasgow is a centre of excellence for proper hardcore (and fuckin dangerous) criminals!!!

@@davidkennedy1077 yeah defo. I've watched the Wee Man and read all about them. Even the ice cream wars. Being from Fife it's amazing to think this happened not too far away from me. Although it's scary af it's mega interesting

@@liamburnett5307 yeah 'Wee Man' is a great film (I've got it on DVD) for a look into how some of these guys start watch 'Neds', it's about Glasgow knife gang youngsters (I'll admit that I struggled to understand what they were saying a fair bit of the time, I'm shite with accents haha!) but that also a pretty scary story that shows how things can escalate badly. The Scottish gangland books are incredible reads (just like the books about Irelands gangland, usually written by Paul Williams) But you cant beat hearing about the local underworld, the only case I have thats local to me was The Essex Boys (Range Rover/Rettendon Murders) but it all literally happened all around me so its was incredible reading and thinking 'I remember that happening' and the fact that I knew a couple of the people talked about that hadn't been named. Plus through my work I'd met one of the main characters in the story (one of the murderers!) It really brings clarity and makes it kinda more personal.

The scar was from an incident when a few jumped him from behind or when he wasn't expecting it, so they basically outnumbered him. There's a short interview with stv news from the time in which he talks a bit about it.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sYxkVtMEzNY.html This short video explains a little bit, for those not from Glasgow a rocket is basically someone paid,told, stupidly gets involved maybe trying to get a reputation. It has various meanings though.

Is 25/30 a fraction?

Did you let him. For free..

@@johnmckee7640 No. He was barred out by the management. He understood that wasn't any of the door staff decision though and was respectful of it. He had a link to a lady who worked inside the club though hence why he was there so much. Speak as you find though and I found him to be a very genuine guy.

A miscarriage of justice that will sicken you.

Thomas Campbell was on James English podcast recently if you haven't watched it.

@@punkit743 thanks for the info, I'll definitely check that out. Those 2 got @#$%ed right over, I've read the book McGraw about his involvement and it's a horrendous story.

David Kennedy ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WJw5dDdVSDc.html

@@burants89 and then he just dies in his sleep without facing the repercussions due to him. Theres just no justice in this world.

It's a wig!

Haha, you're spot on!!!

@@burants89 I think most only really knew of the bank thing tbf As I said never met the guy but his reputation was the byword for dont fck with me back on the west coast and my group of friends in Glasgow in the 80's...tough times

@@burants89 u are dropping names and talking about people and things u know nothing about ur repeting wot the press say lol

@@charliemanson4808is blink a hard man fighting wise

Anthony james fuck off mate fuck the police

Most yanks cant even understand English dialects never mind Irish and Scottish.

Good point. I was listening and understanding him very easily (as a fellow Scot) but was also imagining how much time and work it would take to transcribe his Scots into English! (@Shaun, are you hiring, lol?).

Believe me ...it's hard for a Berliner haha

Yank, here. I understand every word because I have been fascinated by the UK for a very long time. I have even known about Ian for at least ten years. Cheers to the Isles!

Yes I don’t have a clue what this gent is saying

Reformed mate

Ryan Sheldon naw he’s no lol calmed down aye but he’s always going to be a criminal he doesn’t have anything else.

I think Shaun knows who he is.

See him all time mate guy walks his dog is with his gf or going to shops ppl change but bet in blinl oc an eye he would still take yer face off he dont sit on social media! Believe what the fuck you want haha

Ryan Sheldon aye right
