    I didnt expect that the bouncers from said establishment would be that rough actually, i had heard that they were always encouraged to talk the person down instead and that 'violence' was a last resort.

    Still, maybe the guy just wasn't listening:D

    Heavy Handed? you serious? They didn't touch him till he picked up the bottle. Where do you think he was going with that bottle? Quite possibly to walk off a bit and lob it back possibly injuring the bouncers or a patron as he made his getaway. They did it right.

    yes.. The "I'm shocked and appalled" bit was sarcastic. The "heavy handed bouncers" bit did not appear to be...

    Anyway, the amount of bleedin heart liberals in Ireland now its quite likely someone feels that was excessive force to attack that poor man down the street when he wasn;t even near the premises.

    Well I'm not a lawyer but that looks like assault to me, they're not cops, they have no right to 'detain' a person in a public place (if they felt threatened by him they should have called the cops).

    Hopefully a piano falls on all three of them :confused:

    The dude deserved what was coming to him,i'm not disagreeing with that.

    but there was no need for the bouncer to push him out into the middle of the street, i've seen the likes of this several times in different parts of the country and it's usually solved by telling him to **** off and passing no head to the idiot. And when the bottle was taken there was no need to drag him to the ground. 1 bouncer should have just grabbed him and the other should have taken the bottle and sent him on his way.

    cop on

    Legality of bouncers is a grey area. However generally the way the Gardai deal with it is to let the bouncers deal with anything that there area covers. Here that would mean inside the pub and on the pavement outside where people drink and smoke from the pub.

    Your man robbed a drink and got a bit of the way down the street (maybe 2 metres outside the bouncers area) but then if someone is going to lob a bottle at you you're not going to stand there and take it. Especially when the bottle has been robbed from your premises.

    TBH I'm sure the Guards are well happy to let these boys deal with it rather than calling them out every time some drunk acts the eejit.

    Never liked the kings head bouncers, there not fond of students in there in my experience. I don't agree with this at all for the record, I hope it comes back to the bouncers in question.

    The lads are saying stuff like I'm proud to be Italian.
    Sons of somewhere or other.
    He's dead

    Edit: The guy was giving grief. He picked up a potential weapon. Once that happened I have no sympathy for what happened to him.

    haha hillarious.

    the bouncer could have let it go but the guy could just as easily taken that bottle and ****ed it at the bouncers head.

    or for instance he took that bottle and smashed some random punter over the head with it. The guards come along and ask where he got the bottle. Then the bouncer gets in **** for letting the guy remove a glass bottle from the premesis.
