Ha, someone linked me to one of the lads' FB pages and he's only one degree away from my own contacts list  :-X :laugh:

The fact is they know they're only going to get a slap on the wrist if caught by the guards, they know if someone hit them back that person would be more likely to be charged than them, and they probably also know that no matter what they do their parents will stand by their 'little angel'.

Only earlier this year a guy was charged for assault for marching a local scrote to the police who had been harassing his elderly father.

Tells you all you need to know about the Guards.

I'm sure someone would like to know who these lads parents are, while we're on the subject of scrotes...
A few of their names are all over social media, one of them plays for Shelbourne FC, they just put out a statement actually.

Turns out he'd left Shels some time before this incident, but that hasn't stopped the Twitter mob going after the club. They're now planning a protest outside Tolka before the UCD game.

In fairness the Guards haver to follow the law, the laws are messed up and should be reassessed. In that case the young lad should have been charged with criminal damage, intimidation. Once that happens the other kids won't do it when they see the law coming down on them.

This is not in response to yourself Blackout but if you did that other kids won't do it. Then if the kid who is charged can prove himself a responsible citizen over the following twelve months or two years then maybe the charge could be wiped further down the rather and so you dont prevent employment opportunities etc

Things went downhill fast in this country when you couldn't beat up other people's children.

Oh ffs. Nobody advocated beating children you idiot. What I was saying is that TEENS (not children in case your reading comprehension is that of a childs) in earlier years feared repercussions that come from physically assaulting people.

Where did i say anyone advocated beating children. I was alluding to there was repercussions years ago if u went around playing the scumbag but there isn't any repercussions nowadays. As for the name calling. No need to get so upset ould chap, tis only a forum for chats.

Ollkiller GENOCIDED with LOGIC and AGGRESSION (NOT CLICKBAIT!!!1!)

"Wanting teens to fear repercussions for assaulting people is the same as beating children!" - Idiots.

Dude, he was using irony to make a genuine point that, under a certain angle, it can seem like corporal punishment did actually used to keep young fellas in line.

That was it in a nutshell.

The NFL's insistence on playing games in London.

Been killing 10k runs over the last few weeks and today I had to stop about 4 times. Running is inconsistent as fuck.
