    It makes up for the lack of busking

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    Of course, but you could only imagine travellers going at it 1890 style like this. :D
    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.

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

    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.

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