Not sure, but either way, it seems to have just been uploaded to youtube one day ago.

Noticed though that the link in the original post has now been taken offline...

They're dressed as zombies etc, so it looks like Halloween. On the website it was originally put in there are people saying its 2 years old.

This was what I think is almost worse, that someone would rather film a violent interaction than try and stop it.

There was already too many people trying to stop it. Another person in that melee couldn't have done anyone any good.

Melee or fracas?

They defo aren't dressed up for this weekend.

Green would have suited them all better.

Imagine all the leprochauns spelt wrong I know... but imagine a load of them dancing around ha.

This video is doing the rounds now. It's one reason why I don't drink, and hate certain parts of town at night. I do hope the girl is ok, though. Paddy's Day should be 'fun.'

That's just a typical night in Dublin city, as usual paddys fairy day will produce much more shocking violence. I could never get this paddy's day garbage. Folk go out dressed like fairies, leprechauns and zombies ? its just another excuse to go on the piss for most. Bunch of brainless yokels.

Why anyone would want to dress up as a leprechaun is beyond me. Those damn sausages will be green as well so will my coffee, they should change this paddy's fairy day to 'cannabis day', now you won't see much violence on the street. News reporters will be scurrying around like rats trying to get a nasty story.

Looks like a normal working-class Dub to me.

I think the Dub is getting an unfair ripping here. The English bloke was clearly the aggressor. The bird was just unlucky to get caught up in the scrum.

Would be interested to know why the English bloke was getting so aggressive with the guy behind the counter?

He kicked him in the head, the guy is a clown of the highest order.

Your mates must be scumbags who look for fights.

I have been drinking in town 16 years and rarely see trouble, have had to throw punches once and that was because three scumbags decided to start on the guy walking with missus and talking was wasted on them.

I'm not too sure why he's having a go at the Isish lad for "dropping his woman". Clearly the first English lad was having a go at the chap working in Apache, the Irish lad quite rightly told him to cop the f on, a scuffle developed and the English lad pushed everyone back, resulting in the lady hitting her head. Disgusting kicking his head when he was down though. One of the main reasons I avoid packed takeaways on a night out

He should have kept out of it, the staff member was never going to go outside with yer man and it's most likely not the first time he's dealt with such behavior in that job. Everyone involved was wrong, just a pathetic episode over all.

That was a wild assumption. I have never been involved in trouble in town, I just see it.

Funny enough, last time I threw punches was on a London overhead train when someone attacked my Mrs! That was nearly 10 years ago now.

I think you need to watch the video again .......... the Dublin lad was chatting away to the English guy in the white shirt and only intervened when the other English lad asked the little guy behind the counter to "come outside" ......... the Dublin lad said "I'll go outside with ya" obviously calling the English lad out as a bully.
The English lad attempted the first punch to which the Dublin lad said "don't even start" ......... then the fight broke out.

The kicks to the head ........ well everybody has their opinion on that ........ mine is f*** him, he's a bully.

Outside, the Dublin lad put his fists up because the English lad in the white shirt was charging at him so what else was he supposed to do?
If you watch carefully you'll see the Dublin lad change stance and put his hands up in a non-confrontational manner when he realises exactly why (girlfriend on the floor inside) the English lad in white shirt is upset so that whole thing is mis-communication, ie. English lad assumes Dublin lad has knocked his girlfriend out and Dublin lad (knowing he didn't) puts his hands up to say he didn't hit her.

Wouldn't be singing his praises too much. Clearly tried to stomp on the first fellas head when he was lying on the ground. Absolute scum to do that

jackofalltrades

If the Dublin guy had minded his own business and not got physical, then the whole situation wouldn't have escalated into a physical confrontation.
It was highly unlikely that the English man's confrontation with the worker was ever going to turn physical.
He deserves prison time for stamping on someone's head whilst they're on the ground during a fight.

Either a wild assumption or you should find other boozers to drink in, really surprised you see it nearly every time you are out. I would say twice/ three times a year and I worked as a barman in the city centre for 4 years.

Eh? It was the English bloke who got physical first. The Dub guy was telling him to calm down and he pushed him.

Watch it again. You're crazy if you think the English guy started that. The Irish lad is the first to invade the other ones space and is also the first to throw punches.

The English lad started it by standing there threatening the guy behind the counter. Drunk or not the Irish guy was intervening.

You can't stand there yelling like that and expect everyone to leave you at it.

He didn't have to intervene nothing would have come of the man's drunken ravings. He was a bigger fool for getting involved.

Perhaps. Not every(any?)one is thinking clearly in that situation. Again it would have been nice to have seen the guards involved and the drunken dickhead given somewhere to sleep it off and a nice fine. Chances are if he wasn't going to get satisfaction from the guy in the pizzashop he was going to pick on some other unsuspecting person minding their own business.

Was the biggish guy in the shirt who rang the ambulance a bouncer? If so, he was very late on the scene as he wasn't around when the staff member was getting abused.

0:23 into the video the Dublin guy grabs the English bloke by the arm.
He then asks him to go out for a fight, before elbowing until the English guy pushed him away.
The Dublin guy then won't let go of him and proper starts the fight.

Yes but the English guy was starting with the guy behind the counter, his was completely ignoring the Dublin guy.
The counter was doing a great job of starting a fight.
The Dublin guy didn't have to intervene at all.

have to agree.


English gentleman in black Northface jacket abuses member of staff over quality of the napkins, possibly invites him outside.
Second English man in white shirt, appears to be chatting with Dub and his buddy(?) in purple bike t-shirt.
Dub offers his services outside to the English gentleman instead.
English gentleman appears to decline.
Dub insists, and grabs English gentleman by arm
Very poor quality fracas develops.
Gentleman in blue shirt risks life and limb and inserts himself between the fracassing parties, who all fall to floor.
Zombie girl hops head on floor.
Dub, with some cleavage now on display, applies some ineffectual, but ungentlemanly head stamps
Red tights (enters scene) and purple tshirt come to assistance of zombie girl and bounce her head on floor again while Dub is escorted out.
Red tights removes their foot from under Zombie girl's head causing another (lesser) head bounce.
White shirt realises his girl friend is KO, runs outside to confront Dub, hits ground, hits Dub and fracas fizzles out.


without the Dub, it would have ended up with another English gentleman receiving spit in his burger for his rudeness.

The English lad at the counter was abusive from the beginning (and obviously before) of the video .......... the Dublin lad seemed to be just keeping an eye on him ......... watch the English throw a load of napkins at the little fella behind the counter just trying to do an already tough job.

I'm not defending the English dudes behavior, just pointing out that the Dublin guy seemed more interested in getting his fight than actually preventing such an event from occurring. As others have said, if he had not been so confrontational the entire thing probably wouldn't have happened.

The Dublin lad held onto the English lad's arm as he knew the English lad was about to kick off at somebody (anybody) and he didn't want to get hit with a punch he wouldn't see coming ........ classic security move.

If the English lad had assaulted the little guy behind the counter everybody would be on here lambasting the people that stood by and allowed the assault to occur .......... intervene to stop a bully and you're a scumbag, stand back and do nothing and you're a coward ......... you just can't win!

"I know plenty of people with English accents who would categorise themselves as Irish. I myself, having moved here at a young age, have a 100% Irish accent but I consider myself English.

As for the video, that kind of nonsense goes on every weekend all over the country."

So you think they may have been born in Ireland but raised in England and come over for the weekend to kick off ........... strange point to make .......... actually what is your point???

By your logic they could have been born in Poland or France or America or Norway or Australia or Germany but raised in England and come over to Ireland for the weekend to kick off .......... the award for most irrelevant post on this thread goes to .......... :rolleyes:

Exactly. While some on here are saying he was defending the staff member, I think it's more likely that he is a yob looking for any excuse for a fight.
