i cant afford to get done for gbh, work wise but had some offers which i declined.

I don't think anyone in this thread was trying to be 'hard' by not fighting back though.

[Bushey Boy]

Good point, due to the lads colour and 3 of us, I hit him back and im up for racial aggivation, fook that.

[Arriba]

nothing to do with being "hard"
why would anybody stand and take a beating if they could do something to stop it?
like i said fear is the reason.i've been there and have the scars

sorry but that is bullshit. In my situation anyway. if i was to have hit him back then a full scale war would have started which is what i was stopping.

if i was scared why would i have met him on the field instead of hiding somewhere?
it's got nothing to do with being hard either. it's the fact what do you gain from fighting???

It makes you look hard

I agree with both of you, if that's possible.
The male thing is to stand and fight, I have never walked away from a fight but have always tried to avoid at all costs, sometimes you can talk your way out of a situation and I've seen others defuse it by taking a couple of punches whilst still trying to calm the other guy down, which has seemed to work unbelieavably.
I was set about by four lads about five years ago, just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and even though I'm quite a big chap, fear definitely was my first reaction when I knew talking was not going to get me out of the situation, then when no other option was left to fight, fear disappears and you go for it, I probably got hurt more because I did fight back but at least I had the satisfaction that one of them had a dental appointment in the morning.
It must take a hell of a lot of guts to stand there and take it.

get your septum checked out Bushey - it may look ok on the outside but it may well be deviated on the inside. You don't want to have that done later I can assure you.

[Bushey Boy]

cheers mate, got a appointment next week to have it reset so will be checked then

My mate used to do a bit of boxing and this happened to him. I doesn't sound overly pleasant when he gets even the slightest cold.

   Good thinking, BB doesn't want to do a Daniella Westbrook.

[Samdy Gray]

Especially with all that reggae reggae sauce.

[Bushey Boy]

ha ha, I have no idea what you lot are on about.

[Gazza's Fat Mate]

At least you now know how it feels to have your nose smashed. So you can now appraicte how much it hurt when you punched my nose in a fight by mistkae instead of the other chap.

on another note. you do know you can pursue a claim thorugh the CICB. Ring me at work and I'll look into it for you.

[Bushey Boy]

Will do mate, yeah but that was self defence possibly the best punch I ever did throw straight in your face! ha sorry about that
