    have to agree.


    English gentleman in black Northface jacket abuses member of staff over quality of the napkins, possibly invites him outside.
    Second English man in white shirt, appears to be chatting with Dub and his buddy(?) in purple bike t-shirt.
    Dub offers his services outside to the English gentleman instead.
    English gentleman appears to decline.
    Dub insists, and grabs English gentleman by arm
    Very poor quality fracas develops.
    Gentleman in blue shirt risks life and limb and inserts himself between the fracassing parties, who all fall to floor.
    Zombie girl hops head on floor.
    Dub, with some cleavage now on display, applies some ineffectual, but ungentlemanly head stamps
    Red tights (enters scene) and purple tshirt come to assistance of zombie girl and bounce her head on floor again while Dub is escorted out.
    Red tights removes their foot from under Zombie girl's head causing another (lesser) head bounce.
    White shirt realises his girl friend is KO, runs outside to confront Dub, hits ground, hits Dub and fracas fizzles out.


    without the Dub, it would have ended up with another English gentleman receiving spit in his burger for his rudeness.

    The English lad at the counter was abusive from the beginning (and obviously before) of the video .......... the Dublin lad seemed to be just keeping an eye on him ......... watch the English throw a load of napkins at the little fella behind the counter just trying to do an already tough job.

    Wouldn't be singing his praises too much. Clearly tried to stomp on the first fellas head when he was lying on the ground. Absolute scum to do that

    Was the biggish guy in the shirt who rang the ambulance a bouncer? If so, he was very late on the scene as he wasn't around when the staff member was getting abused.

    He was just a customer, that particular pizza place doesn't have security .........

    I'm not defending the English dudes behavior, just pointing out that the Dublin guy seemed more interested in getting his fight than actually preventing such an event from occurring. As others have said, if he had not been so confrontational the entire thing probably wouldn't have happened.

    0:23 into the video the Dublin guy grabs the English bloke by the arm.
    He then asks him to go out for a fight, before elbowing until the English guy pushed him away.
    The Dublin guy then won't let go of him and proper starts the fight.

    Yes but the English guy was starting with the guy behind the counter, his was completely ignoring the Dublin guy.
    The counter was doing a great job of starting a fight.
    The Dublin guy didn't have to intervene at all.

    The Dublin lad held onto the English lad's arm as he knew the English lad was about to kick off at somebody (anybody) and he didn't want to get hit with a punch he wouldn't see coming ........ classic security move.

    If the English lad had assaulted the little guy behind the counter everybody would be on here lambasting the people that stood by and allowed the assault to occur .......... intervene to stop a bully and you're a scumbag, stand back and do nothing and you're a coward ......... you just can't win!

    No sound, is that just for me. Guy screaming at the fella, behind the counter seems to have started the whole thing off.

    "I know plenty of people with English accents who would categorise themselves as Irish. I myself, having moved here at a young age, have a 100% Irish accent but I consider myself English.

    As for the video, that kind of nonsense goes on every weekend all over the country."

    So you think they may have been born in Ireland but raised in England and come over for the weekend to kick off ........... strange point to make .......... actually what is your point??? :confused:

    By your logic they could have been born in Poland or France or America or Norway or Australia or Germany but raised in England and come over to Ireland for the weekend to kick off .......... the award for most irrelevant post on this thread goes to .......... :rolleyes:

    Yes I believe you implied that bullies deserve to have their head stamped on.

    Take a second to consider how mental a belief that is to have in 2015.

    Exactly. While some on here are saying he was defending the staff member, I think it's more likely that he is a yob looking for any excuse for a fight.

    Dub guy seen English lad blaring the head off a staff member and he had the balls to stand up to him to shut him up.
    Fair focks to him I say.
    English lad should be feeling like a right tit, who kicks off at a guy in a pizza place at god knows what hour of the morning?!

    It didn't suggest that to me and several others on here who have watched the video ......... I think the English lad was looking for trouble, the Dublin lad was looking for pizza ....... if the pizza-maker gets hurt then that means no pizza!!!

    Looks like most places around the country on a Saturday night. I think we have more of a drunken idiot problem than we do a drinking one to be honest.

    We have more of a problem with flagrent disregard for the law and a flagrant uninforcement of the law.

    The Dub just kept saying "I'll fight you" over and over again and then flew into a rage very fast. I think that if I or many people I know tried to intervene to help the staff member it would be done with words.

    You have a point though and it's very hard to be objective at times. The English lad was obviously a yob and his behaviour towards the pizza guy was abhorrent but I felt the blood lust shown by the Dub was totally unnecessary.

    If he was really worried about his and others safety, then he would have had both of his hands out of his pockets.
    You don't hold onto someone unless you don't want them to get away.
    If the English lad had assaulted the little guy behind the counter everybody would be on here lambasting the people that stood by and allowed the assault to occur .......... intervene to stop a bully and you're a scumbag, stand back and do nothing and you're a coward ......... you just can't win!
    You can win by not escalating tense situations in crowded areas into physical confrontations.
    Bonus points for not stamping on someone's head when they're lying on the ground.

    The Dub never says "I'll fight you", he says "I'll go outside with you". 9 times out of 10 when you stand up to a bully he backs down.
