A little over twenty years ago, whilst bananas drunk 5 knackers bushwhacked me. I was on the ground, conscious thankfully, and in serious howlt fending off boots to my head. Luckily there were a few lads up the street who saw it going on and took hurleys out of the boot of their car and scattered the cunts who were attacking me. But for those lads Coming to my aid I mightnât be here shitposting away like a boy and not dead like the poor misfortunate in the video above.

Maybe people should choose their âfigures of speechâ more wisely rather than say that somebody who films a fight occurring on a street, which people do all the time, is as bad as somebody who murders another person
It would save simpletons from making fools of themselves defending the ludicrous assertion, or to use your words, âfigure of speechâ
Videos of people fighting in public have always been highly popular with posters on this forum
I refer especially to the video on Henry Street with the hurley and the âleave it outâ one on Talbot Street
Nobody complained then
So clearly there is nobody here who has a problem with the principle of people filming fights which occur on streets

The arbiter of everything wouldnât intervene though, so you were wrong to do that. You should have taken out your phone and filmed that young lad getting his beating.

Gas seeing hurlers on the ditch claiming theyâd have intervened in the fight in that viddeo knowing the end outcome
No surprise to see the ultimate hurler on the ditch @Mullach_Ide is one of them
Some lads take their pretend e-honour very seriously
Very important to give each other likes for moral support too
Sure what would pretend e-honour be worth without it
I intervened in a gang fight in Oldham once to stop a lad getting a beating. That was properly fcuking scary. I also intervened as a 17 year old lad in London to stop a big black lad who was punching his girlfriend /wife repeatedly in the face. I walked the long way to the bus stop for the rest of the summer after that. Luckily I was working as a ground labourer, was 15 stone, dirty, and had my ear pierced or I suspect Iâd have been absolutely beaten to a pulp.

You know lads are rattled when they start making up stories about how theyâve intervened in fights in order to get e-likes
No just saying that itâs fucking scary at the time, fucking scary enough after that youâd walk the long way to work for two months, but people do it anyway. Iâm no hero. Iâm an oul scaredy cat.
Nah, you made it all up, could never happen, the arbiter of everything is never wrong.

Also sid, you donât know youd have intervened. You hope you would, but circumstances and how you are feeling are different every hour of every day. What you do know though, is that you wouldnât root in your pocket for your phone, fumble with it til itâs at the right setting, press record, and then send it to your pals for the crac.

Is this not the exact reason why people video and upload fights?

Youâre an OAP,hes most likely in his early 20s.Thats the 1st thing young lads do there days is whip out the phone.
Iâve seen a lot of fights in my time, probably more than my share given I started out going out in NCW, but Iâll tell you one thing, I have never and would never intervene in a row, bar I knew the young lad was completely on his own, and completely being wronged (which I did once, and was lucky to escape).
A lot of heroes here who if they did, half they said, would have shipped a lot of beatings, half of them for fellas who deserved them

That doesnât make it right
Not quite there yet mate
I did all that I said.
I remember heading away to London the first time, and telling my brother I was scared shitless. Well xxx he said, put it this way, youâre more likely to get battered in salthill any Saturday night than anywhere else in the world Iâve ever been. He was pretty much correct back in the day.
And youâve a lad here, with no reason to lie, thankful to a group of strangers to be alive.
Well theres no reason to intervene in an even fight, but if a lad is literally getting his head kicked in i think you would, as most here would. Wasnât that much time from it turning from a mess into murder in that clip, the slam was unnecessary and over the top so i hope hes nailed for that.
Filming it is a different class of cunt but thatâs a generational thing too.

I never said it did.One of the lads who was one of the 1st on the scene in limerick at the bridge where the builders drowned said there were cunts looking down with their phones out recording as they were trying to recover the bodies.Its an automatic reaction with people these days and a totally wrong one.Id be in the @Julio_Geordio camp here regarding rows.
