In The Courts

There’s less fighting because young lads don’t get as messy drunk as before for a few different reasons. It does however seem that when fights happen they are more brutal.

The sniff is way worse than any drink for lads losing control , you’d have more chance putting down King Kong than a lad on the bag . Nightclubs have died across the country. Also lads will get charged for getting in a punch up a lot easier now than back in the day when the likely solution after a scuffle would be the bouncer telling one party to drink upstairs in the nightclub and the other to say downstairs . Camera phones also means any incident will be filmed .

I did serious campaigning in Dundrum in late 90s. When they did it up all fancy, we stopped going. The bus to Dundrum on a Saturday night was some craic.

What was the bus home like?

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

The big bus was usually grand but someone puked at the back of the mini bus one night and it was fairly fucking horrendous.

Is there any real nightclubs left in country towns?

@Big_Dan_Campbell

There are a lot of factors for it dying off in the country compared to what it was - mainly socio economic I would have thought - young people are far more educated, less parochial and have a bit more freedom of expression these days compared to 30 or 40 years ago. The small village/town mentality is far less prevalent these days too as work, ability to travel, other options to socialise etc became far more accessible

And they don’t go out half as much

[Loko_Cove]

Remember a lad arguing with the bus driver one night as to why he needed to pay the fare as the bus driver was “going out his way anyway”.

Speaking of night clubs I heard you were an awful man to cause trouble in Club Sarah and Deep/hollywood nights back in the day . They say you always brought your manners to Marleys though

Night s - Irelands only laser disc nightclub

[Bisto]

Dangerous place of a Sunday night . Some bad bagels used to rock in to finish off the weekend

[Realbhoy]

Not to hijack the thread but can anyone tell me what was the name of the nightclub in Charleville? Down in the middle of the town? A bus used to go round east limerick and we’d all pile on and head off. Very popular with 5/6th years which probably explains why my leaving cert was like a bad Eurovision entry… nul points

Madonnas then morphed into the Venue.

Have the Far Right save ireland types starting protesting at the house of that chap from Ardnacrusha yet?

Crotty is probably a man grappling with significant personal issues. Good chance he is a latent homosexual struggling to reconcile this aspect of his identity within the masculine environment of the army. Under the influence of alcohol and potentially drugs, his self-loathing intensifies, leading to a public outburst of homophobia that reflects his internal turmoil.

Ms. Buckley, given her experience working in a pub, might have been wiser to avoid engaging with an obviously intoxicated and unknown individual. Her confrontation with Crotty & his subsequent violent outburst was probably triggered by his anger towards women, the gender he feels societal pressure to be attracted to, yet his urges are to lift shirts.

By God, you think you’ve seen and read it all on TFK and then you see something like this

The people of Ireland are not pleased and have Eddie Vedder on their side too.

This is a movement.

But in all that I don’t ever remember hearing of a girl getting set on and attacked by a man.

Georgina Odonnell got shot dead in the Henry Cecil by her jilted boyfriend mid to late 90s id say.

Mark Cronin was the fella who shot her but he wasn’t known to her. he went in to shoot his wife, missed, and hit that girl.

No, they’re now blaming the victim, calling her an actor and that this is all being pushed by NGOs.
