    ....and if so what was the worst?

    3 years ago in Blackpool I saw a fella take a sucker punch in a row between 2 stag parties during a Saturday afternoon and it was horrible.

    Lad hit the floor, unconscious with eyes open. He'd bitten through his tongue and blood was shooting out.

    Not nice. :eek:

    Actually, there was one on Dame Street on Sunday afternoon, about two weeks back. It was hardcore. Tables and chairs flying from the foggy dew over to the other side of the road. Tables, chairs, bottles & glasses being used as weapons. They were mostly dressed in black, heard nothing of it afterwards.....

    Seen an english bouncer hit a guy into the jaw at the top of a concrete stairs(about 11/12 feet high) in gran canaria (he was english too and only about 20). He was knocked out by the punch but also fell the whole way back down the steps and bounced his face off the edge of the kerb. that bouncer was a pr1ck!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Yup seen quite a few (prob because of my location :o) The worst was my ex getting glassed in the face for standing on some scumbags toe (by accident) in a packed pub. I also got a few kicks in the back for trying to help him up.

    I've seen a few bad ones..one in particular in longford,a guy got smacked so hard in the nose it split sideways and you could see a big hole in the centre of his face.
    He staggered away holding himself with blood spurting from his face when one of his mates showed up from nowhere and stabbed the guy who hit him twice in the neck with (i think) a screwdriver.
    This row was over somebody skipping the queue in abrakebabra!

    Strange. The impression I got from threads on here was that bouncers are a placid bunch of lads. He must have been a bad apple.

    Saw a girl in Glasgow get hit in the face with a beer bottle and while she was lying out cold on the ground a big hefty bint kicked her full force in the face. Not nice, couldn't get the mental picture out my mind for months after..

    Nasty!
    Havent seen too many. But one that stands out is a few years ago was in town and walking over to "Darkside" (northside :) ) a guy walking in front of me and some guy just smashed his fist into his face and the guy just crumpled, the scumbag ran off while myself and another lad picked the guy up, his nose was in bits.

    i seen Mary Harney upper cut Godzilla, all because he nicked a chip. The result was a whole city block leveled.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    If you're in Dublin, you are pretty much guaranteed to see at least 3 or 4 serious scuffles per year

    Funniest one I seen lately was on the 123 bus between two oulone's argueing over the single seat behind the driver. Skin, hair and Tenna Lady went flying when it finally all got too much for the driver who pulled over and pushed them both out of the bus.

    Vicious them old ladies!

    In fourth class, a guy slapped my friend in the face (dunno why the hell he did it), she punched him back in the face and broke his nose.
    He started crying but noone really gave a fcuk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    Seen a few bad ones, two lads went at it, one lad punched the other high in the face (possible near the temple), other lad had a seizure and everything and the ambulance had to come.
    One time when camping a fellow locked another fellow up inside a trailor. The man locked inside the trailor ****ing lost it. Claustrophobia I'd say. When the fellow outside it opened up the trailor, he jumped out, flying punchs. The guy who locked him in was bigger, caught him on the shoulder, and slammed him down on the ground. You could nearly feel the thump.

    The worst ever fight i've seen happened in a small town in Tipp. The pub was wrecked as chairs and tables were thrown everywhere and snooker balls were put into bags to be used for the obvious. The gardai wouldn't go in becuase it was soo crazy.

    Was out with some mates earlier on this year and people were flooding out of the night clubs to the chipper. We had gotten ours and were standing at the main road when these three foreign lads came rushing by us.

    Two of them started kicking the crap out of each other while the other lad, presumably the calm one was trying to calm them down.
    The two of them were going at each other for ages and one smacked the others head against a pole.

    The noise was sickening and we were just shocked standing there.
    Then out of nowhere the calm one just exploded and started tearing the other lad apart.
    Really malicious stuff.

    It's lucky the Garda station was right across the road and the fight was stopped.

    Horrible fight.

    Have you ever seen a fight......

    Yes, too many.
    ....and if so what was the worst?

    Take your pick...
    People being shot
    People been stabbed
    People being blown up
    Sometimes in cases, a combination of the above and other variations
    ...also other incidents home and abroad that I can't go into.

    The cruelty of humans and how far they can go depresses me sometimes badly.
    What keeps me sane is coming home to the wife and young children, smiling welcoming (home) faces and lots of hugs.

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER


    Yeah ive seen a few, nothing to write home about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    Seen a few guys stabbed..kicking in the face when unconscious..


    nothing compares to when women fight though.
    think American X style with the curb..that's what you see when women fight. Grabbing hair and pulling it from the scalp, taking high heels off and stabbing them in the face with them..




    What's wrong with these cowards these days eh? Not able to fight with just fists?
    pussys tbh.

    The worst fight I ever witnessed was between two girls back in secondary school. It was absolutely viscious. A sink broken and a toilet bowl smashed. Never seen the likes of it since. Surprised nobody was killed tbh.

    Why can't you go into these other incidents, hey? You could just change the names to protect the innocent. Or you could even just make the whole thing up.

    I used to see a fight nearly every week when I was living in Ireland. Not so many now.

    One of the worst I saw was in a nightclub back in Ireland. Heard a commotion behind me, turned around and saw a bouncer with blood coming down his face and some lad being held back by his mate. The bouncer then lost it, he picked up a half full pint glass off a table and smashed it into the other guys face, then picked up a stool and took a swing at him. The other bouncers came flying and took down the bouncer. All the while this other dude was still being held back by his mate! Never seen a bouncer lose it like that.

    Unless you're a soldier, drop the act. It's tiresome.

    Seen some pretty bad stuff in Limerick, but i prefer the halarious ones myself!!

    Top of Cruises Street one night a scobe couple were having a fight, scobie girlfriend hits your man over the head with a plastic bag full of cans!! i nearly wet myself laughing!!

    Another night up by the Glenthworth, scobie shoulders this nice respectable looking dude for no reason, proceeds with "have you got a f***in probem" etc.. your man tries to back away scobie comes after him and gets his ass handed to him with one of the sweetest punches i've ever seen..


    EDIT: Nearly forgot the funniest, one 13 year old pikey girl throwing another 13year old pikey girl through a Prefab Window....... crazy stuff!!

    Cruises street 2 am, solo dude walking down the street eating chips, happy out. two tracksuit wearing scumbags walk toward him and hit him right in the face, chip eating lad laid out. scumbags laugh.

    Scum bags stop laughing when they realise the 8 lads that were walking a hundred metres behind the solo lad are part of the same rugby team.

    Hard beating of scumbags followed. Gardai had to save them..typical.

    John McClane...

    Worst fight I've ever seen:
    On a Christmas Eve inside the Nakitomi Plaza in Los Angeles, Califonia, thirty people are held hostage by German terrorist... But the terrorists are unaware that an armed civilian is running around the building, taking the terrorists out. The civilian is Biggins of the NYPD, at the party with his wife. Without shoes, socks, or a regular shirt, and armed only with a Beretta 92F pistol and his brainpowr Biggins fights for his life against the terrorists in this high-octane action thriller.

    I somehow ended up in the middle of a row between two feuding traveler families in a pub one time

    It was pure savagery, lads were dropping like flies and the barman got a stool upside the head

    I was holding a pool cue at the time and thankfully nobody went for me

    Saw a knack hitting a girl on the street in Cork one night near McDonalds, randomer (dressed respectably) lands out of nowhere with a kungfu kick into your mans nose and helps the girl up. Knack stumbles to his feet before roaring abuse at random guy who proceeds to drop him again with another kick in the head from a standing position. Girl proceeds to help up her knack friend and they stumble towards a wall, knack covered in blood. The randomer got a round of applause for his efforts.

    Was in an early house in Ennis the morning after a stag party when a guy comes in and tasers a lad at the bar in the neck. Victim drops to the ground and attacker picks up a bar stool at belts him in the head with it before shouting "dont ever ride my wife again". It was comical, the victim was on the ground for about 5 minutes before getting up and finishing, yes finishing his pint and stumbling out the door. A classy establishment.

    Seen a guy get his head smashed repeatedly against the side of a pavement. we tried to intervene but the scumbag's mate pulled a knife and tried to stab us. Eventually a paddy wagon came along and they pulled a legger. I was worried the guy who was having his head beaten would be brain damaged

    One of the worse things i have seen was a sucker shot as well, strange that. Some guy standing outside a club one night got completely bowled over with a hammer in the face. I mean one second, next second some guy appears and SMASH....right in the ****ing teeth and gone.

    It was ****ing horrible. Turns out the guy had been accused of raping the other fella sister.....which was a total pack of lies it would turn out.

    Madness.

    I went to Australia the following June, then in the November the guards contacted me, saying they needed me to give evidence in the court case in February.

    I was on a year long visa, so I told them to pay for my flights, which they did. And for another fella who was in New Zealand.

    When I arrived in Dublin after 24 hours traveling, they rang me and said the scumbags had since decided to plead guilty so they didn't, in fact, need me. So I took a two week break in Ireland to see family etc, and on my way back to the airport, we got a phone call to say my granny had died, so I stayed another week for the funeral, then went back to continue my travels.

    They went to prison, but are probably out now.
