Very funny.... It actually happened me going up Slade valley a few years ago.... Luckily enough i didn't come down but I literally couldn't stop laughing when I composed myself..

Such a scumbag thing to do. Unless they were friends with the person. It would still be kind of harsh but maybe they do that sort of thing to each other.

Only an idiot would find this funny.

Absolute dickheads

They should get jail for it, throw the book at them.

TallGlass · 26-07-2015 3:17pm

What is wrong with people? How the fuçk can you find that funny. You've just pushed a cyclist off a bike into a ditch when there doing about 15km and your pushing them in a car doing what looms about 50km/60km.

What would be funnier is if the little scummer fell out the window doing it.

It's not funny, it's fu@kin moronic, they could break someones neck with that sort of stupidity.

Tenzor07 · 26-07-2015 3:28pm

Dirty scumbags, hope they get caught.. And don't get out of it by saying "Suure 'tis in our culture boss...!"

arybvtcw0eolkf · 26-07-2015 3:30pm

I'm actually shocked.. Genuinely fooking shocked.

Were you the one doing the pushing?

Get a grip ffs. This isn't funny.

Political Wall Map · 26-07-2015 3:33pm

I was actually being sarcastic.... As I said happened me going up Slade valley.... No chance of getting the reg when it happens though as it happens so quick... Did it happen to anyone else on this?

I think gonna email that link to Gardai, it's just insane.

I wonder how Pavee Point will try to defend that.

How did you deduce it was travellers in the car?

Regardless it's appalling behaviour

Thankfully no, but I was talking to a work mate during the week who was telling me that he's regularly had things thrown at him along his commute from Naas to Dún Laoghaire (along the N7)

if you look through some of the guys pictures on facebook it would appear that way!

Absolutely. They may have been Koreans for all we know.

Tenzor07 · 26-07-2015 3:42pm

You have to think that apart from the sheer brain-deadness of this act, it may be inspired by all the anti-cyclist rhetoric you see on forums, social media and news/video articles...

Political Wall Map · 26-07-2015 3:45pm

Is this not a simple thing to track down or what? Can they track where the video was uploaded from or what happens ?

Its mad how people can go on like this. Like I understand the odd driver driving by to close or whatever as ****e happens but this kind of stuff is ridiculous.

Would love to see an artic coming in the opposite direction and pushing the scummers into the ditch

A few minutes ago you thought it was hilarious. Make up your mind.

I think just for the "new challenge boys" he should be fined.

micar · 26-07-2015 3:49pm

What's shocking is the amount support this is getting on Facebook.....what a c_ntish thing to do.

OldBean · 26-07-2015 3:52pm

It's nearly happened to me on Manor Place in Stoneybatter before. the car was coming against me, and I copped the chap in the passenger seat was in a bit of a strange position with the window open, and ducked into a parking space about the same time the car passed, and the driver tried pushing out through the window.

Too busy not being injured to get car reg, but rang Gardai, said they'd had another few reports and would send a car 'round. In fairness they stopped by, and I saw them around the same time on that street a few times over the next week or so. Whilst horrible to be chucked into the ditch and bushes at speed, it happening in someplace like Stoneybatter where you're going to land on either a car, concrete or tarmac would be real nasty.

Here we go again, video has been posted many times before

Have forwarded to Garda.....hope they track these idiots down.

I am inclined to agree with this, his sports list bare knuckle boxing and for activities he has listed Irish Traveller.

Ah apologies, I didn't see your follow up post.

Maybe use the sarcasm smiley instead of the normal one. Nothing about your first post suggests sarcasm at all. Now it just looks like you are back tracking after being quoted by people.

Glad you were ok after your push. Some idiots out there. Safe cycling.

In fairness there's plenty of comments on the video from other people with traveller surnames calling them absolute scumbags. Scum is scum regardless of ethnicity. Hopefully the piece of sh!t who posted it gets his comeuppance fairly soon.

Yeah my fault mate.... But I think that lad only shared the video on facebook?

Don't Chute! · 26-07-2015 4:24pm

Counting to ten would be a ****ing challenge for cvnts like them.

Weepsie · 26-07-2015 4:50pm

It only takes one moron scumbag to see that and decide it'll be a bit of craic to do for a serious injury to happen. In a country with blasphemy and other stupid laws, posting such a thing is to me incitement to crime/gba and he needs a serious talking to by Gardai not thatd it do much.

People who did it may someday be caught, but they'll get p*ss all of punishment

I am re-opening this on the basis that it has been gaining traction as a story on twitter, facebook etc. A number of posts in this thread have been deleted.

I am just as disgusted with the actions of the individual in the video as anyone. But we have to be absolutely clear - it is totally unacceptable to make general offensive comments as some of you have against travellers on this site. This is not just a forum charter matter - this is covered by the terms of use which you agreed to when you registered.

If you have a problem, PM me and I will be more than happy to discuss it. Do not respond to this post.

Note - Right Turn Clyde is no longer thread-banned following discussion via PM

fillup · 26-07-2015 9:11pm

I also reported the Vid on FB on the grounds that it encourages violence only to be told that it doesn't contravene their standards.

Maybe if enough people report it someone in FB-land will actually look at it.
