Falkirk nightclub 'disgusted' by 'abhorrent' comments attached to pictures of clubbers

A Falkirk nightclub has hit out at "bullies" for leaving what they have dubbed "abhorrent" comments, "memes" and "jokes" attached to pictures of their customers.

Maniqui bosses say that they are "disgusted" by the unsavoury messages left underneath photographs online.

It's after an official photo album was posted on the clubs Facebook page from a Still Game meet and greet night at the venue last Friday.

Gavin Mitchell, Jane McCarry, Matt Costello and Sanjeev Kohli, who play Boaby the barman, Isa, Stevie the Bookie and Navid, were there for the one-off special.

In a statement, the Maniqui said: "First of all, a massive thank you to not only the Still Game guys, but to all of you who attending on Friday night. We had a great time & we hope you did too .

"With regards to the unsavoury comments, we here at The Maniqui are disgusted by some of the abhorrent comments, "memes" & "jokes" attached to the images from Friday night.

"At a time where people are still struggling to find the confidence to go out & enjoy themselves, the last deterrent they should have is images of said people being used for horrible, degrading responses, many from whom seem to promote the falsehood that they care about people's mental health on Social Media, whilst doing the opposite.

"The Maniqui has & always will be a place open to all who want to go out, get away from everyday life & enjoy themselves.

"We have a zero-tolerance to bullying & we hope that in the future, the people who have made these comments will think of how the people in the pictures feel before they respond."
