Excellent choice of venue from Mr Slater. He should try the original (and best) one though.

Just being a baggy Manc is justification enough. Don't start something you can't finish, don't let your mouth overload your ar$ehole, sow the wind reap the ...etc....etc. Trying to impress your bird can be done in so many better ways than slapping an apparently harmless stranger outside a nightclub. You never know when they might turn out to be a world class athlete who plays the toughest sport in the world and has survived being knocked around by some of the biggest meatheads on the planet (not to mention having his ear eaten by a fat ginger scouser).

All good fun.

Sums it up perfectly for me , surprised the old Bill didn't just give the pair of them a bollocking and send em on their way tbh .

Wishful thinking on our part. Maybe you should find out where they're going next time and go slap Slater. Can't believe you're calling him the aggressor. How can putting your hand on someone's shoulder be aggressive?

CCTV with no audio is not the best who know what else was happening. You also don't need to get chinned to act in self defence, you can do a preemtive strike and still be acting in self defence.
That said if it was just two ordinary blokes from Manchester both would probably have been nicked and charged with affray

I love the fact that Gotcha would allegedly punch anyone whoever patted him politely on the shoulder.
And he's trying to go on about Bailey's off-field behaviour on another thread

Remind us all again about Tom Briscoe not having a tattoo when you were stood right next to him the other week.

Difference is, I was the one that said that.

You are the one stating after watching that video that Slater politely patted the guy on the shoulder.

What Slater did wasn't self defense, it's more accurate to say it was retaliation. But anyone who says Slater was the aggressor is in cloud cookoo land. The other guy was the first to lash out, it's as simple as that. Deserved everything he got.

Better to be thought a fool than to prove beyond reasonable doubt!!

You're a fool!!

I need to accep that then. When the biggest fool of Southstander is stating it, you some time have to realise that it takes a fool to know one.

To me it's quite clear that Slater is trying to pacify the guy and explain that he's not cue jumping but just wanting to get his coat back.

The guys over reaction to Slater barely touching him was the cause of the incident in my opinion.

I can't think of a single person who wouldn't do the same thing in Slaters position.

Yawn, yawn, who cares? Incident dealt with & over

At least I don't make up random meetings with individuals to fill the void of having nothing else to throw out there in an attempt to sound even remotely interesting.
