Belfast bouncer

I'd say he's absolutely covered. He's under threat. It's sustained. There's more than one of them. There's sharps and weapons all around. He neutralised it decisively and didn't take liberties. I think if you can prove you're in fear of being seriously assaulted, you're pretty much covered to back them up away from you, which is what he did. Luckily for all involved, she didn't have a bad landing.

This is it exactly. It looks worse than it is, but the bouncer didn't lash out at any single one of them and land them with a haymaker as we've seen in previous videos. They fell back more likely because all three of them had been knocked off balance (if you have one leg up kicking a fella your balance is immediately compromised). The situation could have been handled better, but the way it was handled they were all lucky to have been able to walk away from it.

Why in the bejaysus do people bother fighting with bouncers?

Any effort spent trying to get into one of these overpriced drink selling establishments is surely a waste of breath as there are 100s of similar ones in close proximity. I certainly wouldn't give any publican the satisfaction of thinking I'm hell bent on trying to get into his particular pub.

That particular establishment (in the video) is outside of Kellys Cellars which is one of the biggest tourist traps in Belfast (think temple-bar type pubs). Literally any other pub in the city would be a better option.

And of course it's always acceptable to hit a man even if you are not under threat 'coz men like being hit. That's what they are made for after all , that and guzzling beer and working hard at the buildings and talking 'bout football with their working class mates etc. etc.
Could everybody just **** right off now and read a book:rolleyes:

I did door work and had this situation more than once. On a good day you might be prepared to take a slap and not react but this was a repeated and sustained attack with her launching kicks at his groin as well. After patiently dealing with her nonsense the doormen correctly deduced that they weren't going to stop so reacted with a small bit of pushing in self-defence.

Pro tip - don't get buckled and act like a f*cking thug attacking people and you probably won't get shoved over by door staff.

Nothing wrong here at all.

Three complete trollops.

It probably wouldn't be a foursome you'd even brag about.

Proper pintman, just picks his way through the carnage and carries on.

I'd buy that bouncer a pint.
