Sad to hear hope he gets better

A IRISHMAN is described as being in a critical condition after being stabbed in the neck during a fight in Perth, western Australia yesterday.
The 21-year-old has not been named but the Department of Foreign Affairs said this morning it is providing consular assistance to the man’s family.
The victim was reportedly stabbed in the neck with a large carving knife at around 2.30pm yesterday afternoon local time at a property in Helmsley Street in Scarborough, Perth in Western Australia.
PerthNow reports that the victim was taken to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital for treatment where he is in a critical condition.
A 32-year-old man has been charged over the incident and will appear in court later today.

I'm surprised the Irish media left out the witness accounts of the brawl.

Scarborough on a scorching hot summer's day with drink involved. I'd like to say I'm surprised but...

A "drunken brawl" at 2.30pm on a Monday afternoon?

The story was posted on Monday and refers to "yesterday" as you've bolded. That's Sunday.

Didn't check the date on the article.

Not that it being a Sunday makes it much more acceptable!

Oh of course, though Monday does sounds worse cause most of us should be working at that hour not getting in drunken rows!

That unfortunate chap couldn't swim and was pulled under by extreme rips, 150 people had to be pulled from the waves that day. This incident by all reports is drink related but has zero to do with what was a tragedy a year ago.

Detectives from Mirrabooka police station subsequently charged Irish national Vincent Martin Crowe, 32, with intent to do grievous bodily harm.
He appeared before Perth Magistrates Court yesterday and has been remanded in custody to appear again on February 25.

Anyone know this clown?

Was he from Dublin?

"Local Irish support group The Claddagh Association are also helping."

The Claddagh Association seem to do a lot of good, must be some comfort knowing that a group like that are there to help if needs be.

What a bunch of pansies! I've been in worse fights in the playground when I was too young to know any better.

It's a shame for the genuine Irish people over there.

jank

A bunch of animals!

Ah sure it's only a bit of harmless craic they said.

The voice of the woman in the video will be echoing around in my head all night now

And people wonder why there's a bit of xenophobia over here towards the Irish when it comes to jobs etc. It's a self made reputation unfortunately.

myflipflops

Ah here, leave it out!

This type of thing is incredibly embarrassing.

Lots of Irish scum over here now. One lad who was staying at a hostel i was in constantly talked about rape in front of a large crowd.
Over the weekend a bunch of limerick lads were fighting bouncers at a place down town and were going to put a bench through the window. Fled when cops came.

Should just make this the "Perth bad news" thread :pac:

Irishman fined for assault on Perth cabbie

An Irish national has been fined for assaulting a taxi driver in Perth last month.

In January, West Australian police charged 26-year-old Barry Joseph McCann with assaulting a driver of a passenger vehicle, following an argument over a fare.

The driver had taken a man and woman from a Fremantle to Morley about 1am.

When they reached Morley, the man allegedly argued with the taxi driver about the fare.

It was alleged he dragged the taxi-driver from his cab and attacked him.

Police alleged he punched him in the head and kicked him when he fell to the ground.

Mr McCann pleaded guilty to the charge in Perth Magistrates Court today.

Magistrate Kevin Tavener fined Mr McCann $1,000, and ordered him to pay $68 in costs.

We could open the Antisocial behaviour Perth Thread again and tab it on the end.

That was a cracker thread, the quality of the clowns arguing in defense of the idiots was outstanding.

We could rename it the Thread of Shame.

Hopefully these idiots will stop coming here, appears Canada is the new place to go now.

Not sure, he only worked 1 day he had a southern accent, he reckoned he had a job lined up in da mines..Wexford/Wicklow I think.

This is exactly why I steer clear of northbridge. Really people, have some respect for yourselves and your families. It is not hard to carry yourself well on a night out and for that matter during the day as well.
I enjoy a few pints myself, but have never understood what makes these people tick. Maybe with the recession at home people are leaving home that never wanted to leave and don't try and integrate for that reason.
What is the attraction with this sort of behaviour?
I will reiteriate, Respect yourselves and after a while it will come naturally to you.

What that situation required was a couple of nice Polynesian bouncers to crack some knacker head and send them and their skanky moth home with a new found respect for public order.
