    So as the title suggests when is it alright to actually get into a scuffle?

    I havent been in a fight for probably 5 years but every night in town young fellas are knocking the head off each other -

    So when is it alright to actually fight somebody else?








    Also women hitting woman can be discussed too.

    Self defence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    If he insults your honour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭Arnold Layne


    When he steals your pint or girlfriend; in that order


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    When its life threatening self defence - same applies to females if they attack with intention to kill.
    End of story.

    In defence of your live, your families life and well being and in defence of your home would be the first things which comes to my mind.

    I'd say there is more stupid reason's for fighting than valid tbh.

    "When is it alright to kick a man in the balls?" might be a more interesting one.

    After a rake of pints, and he skips you in the queue at the chipper.

    when you're willing to be hit back. Be it male, female or mary harney


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,679 ✭✭✭hidinginthebush


    In self-defense or in the defense of someone else unable to defend themself would be my trigger points. Oh and my dogs, don't hurt my dogs

    Self defence.

    On occasion a pre-emptive strike maybe required, to offset a potential outbreak of hostilities.

    and also when they ignore you after you say "what're you lookin at?".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    It gets murky when it's your property that is being.... threatened (?).

    If there is someone downstairs stealing your stuff is it better to frighten them off rather than sneak up and smack with a club?

    Ain't that the truth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Self defence, whether your attacker is male or female.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,933 ✭✭✭Logical Fallacy


    Self defence really, or in defence of someone else who is being attacked.

    I'd also say when someone is talking **** and they have had two warnings to shut the **** up, the third warning should be a good smack in the chops.

    I was in a chipper in Cavan one night after the niteclub had finished.

    There was scuffle behind me, a shout of "you're worse than Hitler" and one guy trys to high kick the other on the head.

    So if a guy is worse then Hitler it's ok!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,507 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    When they tea-bag your drum kit. Of course.

    Should it escalate to a full-blown fight in your front yard, then it is also okay to use a bike as a weapon.

    Just don't say "let's get it on", lest you are accused of attempted rape.

    Whenever someone wants to fight you or is really disrespectful or has done something bad to you. Provided that you're bigger than them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,027 ✭✭✭St.Spodo


    When he's wearing chinos and a low-cut t-shirt. :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭bpb101

    Sneak up and whack em with a club/knife/whatever. No mercy for scumbags robbing your house. Too many horror stories.


  • Registered Users Posts: 46 Brennaldo II


    Just like all other worldwide fights.. when they have a different religion, absolutely infuriates me, I mean how dare they..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 79 ✭✭HLecter


    When you've given fair warning, and said 'queens-bury' rules.

    I don't believe violence against anyone is ever a good thing BUT when it comes to defending yourself, your loved ones and your own I think it's understandable within reason.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,559 ✭✭✭DublinWriter


    Accepted protocol in Finglas is to approach your assailant, remove your glove, strike him roughly across the cheek with it and cry out "Have at you Sir!".

    Exactly, why give up the element of surprise?
