    Anyone see the 2 lads batin' the sh!te out of each other on Shop Street today (Wednesday)? They were punching and kicking each other outside Brown Thomas at around 2pm. One of them had a lot of blood coming from his head. Then they ended up scrapping on the pavement and one lad bit the other fella's ear.

    The cops arrived and battoned them, handcuffed them and took them away. Lot's of people seem to be recording it on their mobiles so I'd expect tp see it up on YouTube soon.

    the midterm has brought the scumbags onto the streets.
    i was walking to BOI on eyre square when a stone whizzed past me. there was a bunch of tracksuit wearing teens throwing stones at a taxi at the rank. the driver who was black got out and shouted at them and they started hurling racial abuse.

    Bonkers!

    There's something really disturbing about two grown men scrapping Marquis of Queensberry stylee in the middle of the day in the busiest street in town, watched in silence by shoppers.

    They obviously really don't give a flying feck...

    Was this in broad daylight?

    yes...check out the youtube clip! I say we set up a boxing ring on shop st. The americans would love to see mad irish men bare-knuckle fighting and battering sh!te out of each other. Then hand around free pints of Guinness. What a way to feed the stereotype and keep the tourist board happy! We could even branch out into midget bare knuckle fights and pass them off as leprechauns...oh the possibilities! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭fergiesfolly


    Just saw youtube video. Got bored after the first couple of minutes. they looked they were auditioning for Strictly Come Dancing. Posers...ha ha

    And Knackers wonder why we look look down on them.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,929 ✭✭✭Raiser


    Check your payslips - you've paid enough to this scum; least they could do is repay us by getting baton-ed for our entertainment :p

    - That or a shotgun blast to the right eyeball would suit nicely too......

    Just wondering, these guys got arrested and are obviously going to end up in court.

    Could/Would the you-tube videos be used as evidence???

    What a disgrace. Another fine testament to our town here, all over the internet. Bloody idiots, I hope they get more than a few hundred euro fine.

    aye, twas the middle of the day



    i was walking through town yesterday and i heard a great gem. some dude was chatting to one of them community warden fellas. the guy asked the warden did he hear about the fight. The warden replied "i seen it, it was great craic"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭Sniipe


    was it 2 guards and 1 other randomer?
    The 2 guards had to tackle one guy. The other person didn't look like a guard... was he?
