Be careful on the quays lads

Elphaba

A friend of a friend left Knightsbridge on his own a couple of Fridays ago and walked across the rd with the intention of going over O connell bridge to get a taxi. He was set upon by two polish men. They basically kicked the crap out of him for a few minutes and then he got away. They didn't take his phone or money or anything.

The other night whilst telling someone about this story it seems the same thing happened to another friend of a friend in the same spot the Friday before. Again it was two lads speaking Polish, kicked lumps out of the bloke without seeming to have any motive.

So lads, don't be hanging around that area on your own unless you're looking for a challenge

Does your friend speak Polish then?

yea how do you know they were polish????
Czech and slovak have very similar languages and dialect, and latvian and a few others from that neck of the woods.

I dont know for sure cos I wasnt there. Was just pasisng on the info I heard. One of the lads works with more than one polish guy so I'm assuming he may know. Don't shoot the messenger

Best thing to do if this happens, is gather up a few of your friends, go back down there and break some fvcking Polish face. Trust me, there's no better feeling than putting one of these "tough guys" flat on his ass and leaving him to spit his teeth out....

Sorry dude wasn't shooting the messenger just dont like the generalization thing. if your friend said foreigner i'd understand. But as regards your friend working with polish people that doesn't really count. I've been with my polish missis three years and i can't even distinguis between many different Eastern european accents and I spend a lot of time in poland as well.

I don't know if the lads that got beaten up know for sure if the pair were Polish or not. It's just what I was told. Only posted here to maybe try and stop it happening to some other poor unsuspecting sod. So, Polish or any other nationality, I dont know what they were, but the point is there's 2 scumbags havin their fun and makin other people pay for it.

There have been several attcks along the quay at night.

Yea its a pain in the ass alright, it's not on. sure everyone has seen it on a friday or saturday night. All pubs empty out at about 3ish town is jammers with people ad that with the lack of garda and its seriuosly a criminals paradise.

anyway fast forward 6 years to 3 months ago, just out for a couple of beers in the local for a friends birthday. had a match the next day so only had 3 pints. 3 lads walking towards me maybe 20-22 one threw a swift punch, a swift upper cut sent him sprawling he got up and came at me again, so gave him a 2 finger poke in the eye he fell to the ground crying, one of his friend picked up a bottle/or had one, and my ninjitsu came in handy. Broke his wrist called the police the other lad did a legger, i do see them in the local from time to time!

So you got beaten up by some Polish blokes in 2001, 3 years before the vast majority of Eastern Europeans even came to Ireland? Anyway I thought you said you were extremely drunk, how could you distinguish their dialect so well? I personally think you are talking out of your culo :rolleyes:

Did I just wander into Stormfront by mistake??

This thread will just become a magnet for nazi types I fear...

Who cares? I'm Finnish and when I speak to my mum or brother people ask if I'm Swedish, Polish or some other nationality. Finnish sounds nothing like those languages. Who cares what country it was?

Jesus christ. Eastern European. If you see two Eastern European looking guys on the Quays then watch yourself.

Or you could have some cop on and not walk the Quays at night by yourself at all. I've yet to be attacked by anyone other than Irish guys.

RTE described the two as....

5foot 10 inches in height. Both were wearing black leather jackets and tight denims. Both were skinny and had fair, tightly cropped hair. There shirts were colourful and just a little bit tight. There teeth were multicoloured. Police say they were from Offaly.
