Fighting/Scaps/Brawls

Riddle101

Any of you ever been in a fight/s and if so how many and what was it like. Strange to ask but i'm interested to know people accounts of fight they've been in.

I've really only been in two. One when i was seven(Which i lost) Me and a former friend got into a craps, on thing led to another and he got me in the nose, that's pretty much how it ended

Second fight i had was one no one in my family knows about because i haven't told them(Not that it makes any difference) But i was in a fight when i was in third year with this guy who i had an argument with in my junior engineering. We just came to digs in the class but we stopped when the teacher came back, after class we made up.

So any of you's got any stories

Zzippy

Only on the hurling pitch, never in a pub or social situation. Guy spat in my face, looked a tad surprised when I didn't take it too well and punched him pretty damn hard. Couple more punches before he put his hands up to protect his face and squealed for the ref. Pulled off him but the ref did nothing cos he'd seen the spitting incident. He was a big guy but quite the coward when it was put up to him. Wouldn't like to be in a scrap with alcohol involved - I'm not a fighter and not too sure I'd be able to look after myself

Schism

A scumbag swung on one of my mates out of the blue once ( just as he was walking past ) and I pushed him away.

Had a bit of a scuffle and it ended with him trying to headbutt me, didn't work all that well as I was wearing a woolie hat. He just stalked off after that

tribulus

It's boards so most people probably ran off, felt like a wimp, then posted angrily on the internet about it.

AckwelFoley

They have a special non knacker exemption for redheads. Honest.

I've been in a few but talk most people who try to start something down. Doesn't happen anymore since I'm an adult, and most other adults act accordingly, but happened when I was a teen, little hard men starting fights for no good reason. Then they won't talk it out, they just want a fight, start walking away and they'll have no problem getting you from behind so better off just swinging a few and letting that be that.

Hasn't happened in years though, I think most people just grow out of it, or people go their own way (i.e knackers stick with knackers, decent people stick with decent people and they don't mix, whereas when teenagers they're all at the same clubs/pubs etc)

Mushy

Only real one was on the GAA pitch. One of our lads stupid foul on another player, their lad elbows back at him, then another lad of the other team runs in, then I'm next. It was more part of a brawl, rather than individual.

Anyway, we ended up on the sideline(dont know how, plus all thirty players were in now), and one lad went to swing. I hooked his arm when he reached back, and elbowed him in the side of the head. Doing more restraining work, but this lad was escaping, so kinda lifted him and turned into the fence around the pitch. When all was sorted, I then nearly came to blows with another lad...who was my PE teachers new husband:D

I'm not actually a violent guy though.

Rb

Pikey fights and GAA fights are similar on so many levels.

It's just a pity the GAA players don't have access to weapons.

Da Bomber

Yes, just this weekend my cousin got a bottle across the head by some knacker and all hell broke loose, big massive brawl on the street with half the town fighting each other, more or less all the GAA people versus all the scumbags, i was pulling my cousin out of the fight when i got a box across the head so then i got yer man back a few slaps, i wouldnt normally fight but if you get hit your goin to defend yourself like.

Other than that nothing major, a few scraps on the hurling field but all harmless enough stuff.:pac:

requiem1

been in a few, the majority were in competition, but over the last few years i've only really been in one. I was in a club some guy drunk off his face started on my mate and started saying he was a queer, my mate tried to ignore it. I was sober, the guy was drunk and to cut a long story short ended up wrecking my knuckle off the back of his head and he ended up getting kicked out and collapsing outside (probably from alcohol). My right knuckle is twice the size of my left now and i'm seriously regretting ever engaging him.

P.S without naming the club, the bouncers saw the fight and asked me if i wanted to take him out back to finish him when they were kicking him out, to which i responded ""

leninbenjamin

I got involved in the odd swing at a GAA match, or shove-offs in primary school, but nothing major. People start on me lots though, but i dunno, i've managed to avoid coming to any kind of blows so far.

Years and years ago my brother ( age 5) was getting picked on by an older kid. It was winter and he was getting snowballs thrown at him repeatedly.
He was getting upset, and I( being the older sister) asked the kid doing it to stop.
He didn't, so I stepped in to stop it and yer man threw a punch at me.
Hit me in the mouth and knocked out one of my teeth ( I was 7 and probably had a few loose teeth ready to come out) but still, I was like wtf you knocked my tooth out, so I swung a punch at him.
Twas the only fight I've ever been in( I'm a lover, not a fighter!) but dammit I had to step up then.

I'd run from it now !

Tbh, if a guy tried to pick a physical fight with you now, laughing at him would be the better solution.

I agree , I'm small, blonde and not at all scary looking.
It's funny looking back!

Dragan

Too many.

If i could go back now i'd say "Little D, it ain't important."

But i can't so i tend not to worry about it as now i don't get in stupid fights.

Ross_Mahon

A friend once told me "The pen is mightier than the sword"

So i broke the pen against the wall and beat him up...:pac:

yeah, occasionally some people have taken umbrage at my existence, this results in a square off, them throwin a few punches (sometimes stingy) me remainin standin whilst laughin at the general Pi$s weak effort of punchin, them gettin angrier and losing the head, them flailin around like a lunatic, me with a few well placed kicks, down they go.

guy got the better of me once a while ago, we were scrappin I lost footing and ended up flat on me back with him kneelin on me chest swingin punches inta me face. I caught his right fist as it came in, got a hold of his little finger with both my hands and snapped it.

quietened him down fierce quick;)

Peyton Manning

Not really. Spilled a guys drink in a nightclub one time, he was locked and tried to heabutt me but I just bowed my head down, and he cracked his nose off the top of my head. Fell right over in a heap. I just walked off lol. Best method there is for defending against a headbutt.

Black Swan

Normally try to talk my way out of a physical confrontation, although was forced to defend myself just once the last time in Dub from a large bloke that had too much to drink, who followed, and cornered me. I know a bit about taekwondo and self-defense, and fortunately my kicks and punches dropped him, long enough to let me run away.

Blue, in these circumstances it is perfectly acceptable to deliver a boot to the nuts before scampering.

Haven't been in a fight since I was ten. About 20 travellers came over to our estate looking for a fight, so whatever mood we were in, a mate and I obliged. The traveller ("Johnny Cash") got a haymaker in the side of the head which knocked him on his arse and then my Mum saw and dragged me inside.

Irishcrx

Yep, well compared to most peoples reply's it's going to sound like i've been through a fair few, but I honestly do avoid fighting whenever I can and only use it as a last resort.

*When I was younger I was in a fair few probably one every month or two, was a tough area.

* Plenty in GAA match's. I once heatbutted a guy after we lost a cup final - I felt bad about this afterwards.

*Once my girlfriend was hit over the head with a wooden plank when we were walking home one night ended up with me trying to fight off 3 scumbags.

* Was in a gang fight before when a group of us got attacked by a load of nagers when we were passing a park that was not pleasent at all.

* God primary school was like a war zone.

I could go on and on...I bloody hate fighting.

Defenestrate

Well I was just peacefully on my way to the bingo when I stopped to use the cashpoint. Suddenly Romanians appeared waving their newspapers in front of the screen! Knowing I only had seconds to act I dropped into my fighting stance, did a backwards ninja backflip on the first fella and then matrix wall-kicked the other. I then went on my way pondering the state of the nation today.

I blame the Guards.

And bouncers.

And those immigrants stealing our jobs and wimmins.

I havent had a serious fight in a while apart from the odd scummer trying it on but usually I just go crazy and they get scared. A few years ago myself and a friend at the time had a fight, we were about 12 and really kicking the **** out of each other in a field in the pouring rain, then he rolled over onto the bottom of a bottle that was sticking out of the ground and impaled him. We laughed for a good hour while lying in muck soaking wet!

Another when I was about 8 a local scummer hit me and floored me. 10 years later he tried it again but now i was bigger than he. While he was on the ground I didn kick him in the nuts and said "that was for 10 eyars ago!"

A couple of handbag type school fights.

My most serious was about 3 years ago. Was at a gig with the then GF. Place was packed but this guy just kep bumping into her really hard on purpose, So i told him to relax and he was acting tough so I just said **** off. I didnt see him til the end of the night when he and his 2 mates were hammered and decided they were going to kick the living **** out of me! I told the GF to keep on walking. Floored one of the lads with a sweet punch to the nose but then was about 35%* of the way through a serious kicking when a lad I worked with seen in and saved the day.

*estimation!

Irishcrx

I remember when Killswitch engage played last year this poor chap got hopped on outside trhe ambasiter in Dublin by 5 scummers, they absulutly killed him for nothing, about 2000 people outside watching it not one got involved to help( Neither did I though), ended up having to have an ambulance come and take him away from the beating he took.

boardinwork

A guy started on me on a nightlink before and got off at the same stop as me. He insisted was bigger than me so i didnt want to. I ended up getting him on the ground and gave him a serious beating out of sheer fear. When he gave up i was just about to get on my feet when a kick came out of nowhere and knocked me out. Someone kicked me in the face, broke my nose and severed an artery!!! Spent a week in hospital and over a month until my face looked semi normal again :mad:

BKtje

Been in a few but usually because of someone else if i think about it.

I got knocked about by some 20ish yr old when i was 14 for asking him the time It was the only real time i felt totally helpless.

About 18months ago the brother of a mate starts giving this guy stick on the way home. Within a minute about 8 of this guys mates show up and start laying into us. If the guards hadnt show up as quickly as they did we woulda been in serious ****. As you can imagine i was well pissed off with the drunken muppet for being an ass.

Got into a bit of a scuffle in D2 (club on harcourt street) once. Long story short, a guy picks on a mate of mine and gets him in a headlock and starts ripping into him. I jump on your mans back and try to pull his neck back so he has to release my mate, i realise that this guy is built like a tank and i'm doing squat so i jump off. Literally the second i jump off, my mate (who was stil holding his pint) smashes it over this guys head who then stumbles away. All i could think at the time was that i was lucky i jumped off when i did or i'd probably have lost an eye since i woulda gotten that pint glass right in the kisser.

There were a few others but those were the "memorable" ones.
I guess what i've noticed is that i'll stick up for my mates but rarely start anything myself (if i get started on i usually manage to defuse it).

Dave!

Thankfully I haven't been in any fights since primary school... Not too eager to get in one either.

The closest I've come in recent years, I was in Barcode nightclub and a bloke came out of the toilets with (probably) water all over him. I saw fit to make a joke about it and he got a bit hostile so I indulged him. He grabbed me a bit and a (female) bouncer noticed and said somethin like "hey hey hey, relax!", so he let go and said "you have no idea what you just got yourself in for" (or somethin like that).

And I never heard from him again

*petrol bomb comes through Dave's window*

DarkJager

Was in a nasty one myself a few weeks back. 3 of us (drunk) against 3 coked up scumbags. My brother got his nose broken, 2 of the scumbags ended up gettin a stay in hospital (1 got put through a window and I broke the other guys jaw), and I walked away without a scratch, which still baffles me Well I did unfortunately end up in the garda station for a few hours but fcuk it...

Funny thing is, the fight seemed to only last about 1 minute!

Last fight I was in was when I was about 14. At football training and some chap called me a "weed". I wasn't too pleased. I don't know how it happened but "trash talk" between us started and my mates and his mates organised a fight for after training.

I actually kind of like the guy and he was a lot bigger, so I felt like going up and shaking his hand. But my mates kept coming up to me telling me things he was saying about me and I b1tched out of b1tching out! Anyway after training all the lads stayed behind and we waited for the coach to go home. Then a circle formed around us. Cue lots of shouting. I was nervous as hell, but said "ah f--- it" and threw a dig at his head. He went down and I jumped on him.

The "FINISH HIM" line from mortal combat came into my head as I got him in a headlock. I noticed blood dripping from his nose and used the classic "Your bleedin.............bleedin ugly." I then made him say uncle (Yeah I didn't know how fights were supposed to end!) and we shuck hands.

Havn't been in a fight since - and would avoid any physical confrontation. I train and compete in Kickboxing. If I was in a fight I'd be afraid that it would be used against me in court.

Dinter

Never got in many fights growing up as my dad had us in boxing from an early age and you kind of loose the urge to throw your weight around. However any I did was usually having exhausted any rational methods of talking someone down.

The funniest for me was downstairs in the Portobello years ago and one of my friends was getting squared up to by some little knack. Anyway I wandered across and it ended up he turns on me and he's gonna kill me and I'm a dead man and all the rest.

End of the night I'm walking over to the stairs and I see the lad is waiting for me at the bottom of them. Starts mouthing but I blank him and keep going. At the top of the stairs I look back and he's taking off his coat to be ready for attack.

I turned around at the top of the stairs and nailed him with a cross as hard as I could. He couldn't defend himself as his hands were all tangled up in the jacket. Went flying down the stairs and I later heard the bouncers waited for me to head off before allowing him out.

I once fought a six thousand strong army of ninjas.

And won.

About 12 months ago I was leaving my local Irish bar at about 3am when I decided to go for a kebab. Eating it by a fountain I saw two scumbags following an American/Canadian couple and one walks up and headbuts the girl. I walked up towards them when one of the guys turned towards me, told me it was none of my business and turned back to his scumbag #1 friend who was hassling the tourist boyfriend whose girlfriend was on the ground bleeding.

The girl went to get up and scumbag #2 went to kick her when I grabbed his foot and rammed his back against the wall twisting the **** out of hs ankle at the asme time. Scumbag #1 went to hit me, I kinda stumbled backwards out of his reach (he was a LOT shorter than me) then I took a step towards him and punched him twice in the face, breaking his sunglasses (yes I know I said it was 3am...). At this stage a crowd of about 20 crowded around, someone told me to get lost and a bunch of girls calmed the sitution down.

I walked off, towards the metro feeling as though molten iron was flowing through my veins I was so wound up. About 5 minutes later I turned around too slow and go a foot in the back, pushing me up against a telephone pole. It was scumbag #1 who was back for revenge because I made him look silly I guess. I go kicked by him again before Ipushed him up against some shop-front and headbutted him twice before taking off his broken sunglasses and smashing what was left of them (I was really pissed off at this stage).

This time I ran away due to the girls, scumbag #2 and 2 other blokes coming around the corner. Minutes later he's behind me again, about 20 yards in front of his mates, kicking me in the back telling me to **** back to my own country. I knew I couldn't stop to fight as was outnumbered and was walking down main-street Paris and was due to find a cop at some stage. After the 2nd kick I decided that I was gonn catch the third one and make **** of his balls before running off but the third never came.

I crossed the river and stopped by the metro St. Michel where I gave some drunks a few euros and I got a slug of wine and a chat while my heart slowed down from almost exploding. Funny thing is that this is the first time I've told anyone really
