It makes up for the lack of busking

Whatever happened to that "bum-fight" thingy? Did they run out of bums?

SEPT 23 1989

its more of a mating dance than a boxing match

GLaDOS

Thank god it wasn't Dublin :pac:

caolfx

Shocking. Absolutely appalling technique.

Uncle Ruckus

I think one of them almost broke a nail.

Subtitles are needed for the commentary

Barely There

Two overweight guys spend 3 minutes doing jumping-jacks while facing each other.

The Backwards Man

OP has obviously never seen two oul farmers bidding on the same stirk at the October mart

Culture, tradition etc.

That made me feel ill when someone showed it to me.

The guy who came up with it was an odious little cretin who would make your skin crawl.

Think that's one of the worst fights I've ever seen....absolutely shocking.

Hardly worth the time it took to buffer in the ad before the video would play.


The very fact that the majority of people pass them by without even a glance in their direction is testament to the lack of quality on display.

Ckicked on thread because was not sure what it was about. Would not look at link. Wouldn't add to its views. Morons.

In a good way?

Aptamil follow on milk advert on before it.

Is this their target demographic? People who watch traveller fight videos online?

NewCorkLad

Whats the story with the woman with the child watching the whole fight, disgusting...

Timberrrrrrrr

Yer man deserved to be slapped for wearing those shorts out in public.

At least the travellers keep it formal anyway. If this was settled lads after the pub, it would probably end up with 5 fellas stoving in the head of one guy on the ground!

If you think Travellers are above doing that sort of thing as well you're codding yourself. A lot of this "fair fight" stuff is a myth. Plenty of them are well able to deploy weapons and attack in groups when it suits them.

Super-Rush

The only shocking thing about that was the quality of the video.

B.A._Baracus

I did laugh at the guy with the shades on :pac:
He is just standing at the entrace with his hands in his pocket like he is waiting for a bus.

Of course, but you could only imagine travellers going at it 1890 style like this.
It seems like in this 21st century Ireland of extreme casual violence we now live in, others would be going straight for the jugular.

I'm sure for their next bout they'll bring the lads and the slash hooks etc.

Chunners

I'd hardly call that "Shocking", whats more shocking is the fact that they refereed to it as a "fight"

FTA69

Meh, there were more digs thrown than 90% of other street fights and it went on a lot longer too. It isn't the most aesthetic but there were probably more punches thrown and landed and more damage done than most of the handbags you'd see on a Saturday night.

What i find shocking or idiotic is the women with the buggy and the child poised right behind where they are fighting.
Very easy for one of them to go flying into the buggy and injure the child.
As for the fight thats what Garda cutbacks get you,Should have had a response within the first minute given it looks a central location busy with shoppers.

Lads go onto youtube here and watch with the Subtitles on (click the CC) - funniest thing ever.

Youtube was not designed to decipher this accent ha

Aptamil follow on milk advert on before it.

Only 2.2% of traveller women breastfeed so there might be a logical angle there
