exactly, but do you go round menacing people (who are much weaker than you) for "protection" money? i know a local bar owner on campus who was by mr richardson, just saying he's no angel.

I played against him years ago. He only got hold of me once and I made sure he didn't get hold of me again.

To those who say they wouldn't get involved ..
You don't know what you would do until you are on the spot and the is flying .
The most timid person can be the hero of the day . Likewise , the big rough tough macho man can turn into a pussy when the going gets tough .
Well done Martin . It wasn't a good idea of the scrote to spoil his day .
Trust me . I have been there and got the t-shirt .

BTW ... did you notice how many cheap-shots Martin got in when the scrote was already on the ground ?
Now we know where Ryan gets it from

I don't think a company like William Hills can be seen to promote this type of behaviour. Their policy would be that if someone is armed and demanding money, give them the money and let them walk away without any hassle. Then call the police and have them deal with it.

It's alright lauding Martin for doing this, but next week when someone else steps in to try and stop the robber and ends up with a bullet in his chest it's not going to look so bright.

If a person was being attacked then I hope that I would step in to stop an attacker. But I just don't see any sense in risking my own life for a handful of someone else's cash, a car, or a laptop. I know people have a go at the health and safety culture of today, but the guidelines over dealing with robbers is spot on.

B0llox
You never know what you are gonna do in such situations until you are in them .
Woud you tackle an armed robber ?
Would you break your way into a burning house and rescue the family inside ?
Would you floor three muggers that tried to have your phone ?

You can't say for sure until you are there . The last thing on your mind will be risk assessment .

Well done Martin. Shame the little (Tango Wiskey Alpha Tango) only got 6 years so will be out in 3

BTW if you read this your round with the reward lol

My old man seems to know the same stories that you’ve heard. Apparently Mr Richardson used to spend a lot of time down at the Newlands.

Seems like a changed bloke now though..

Never too late to change young Damo!

..... I heard the Kray bros used to hand out bars of chocolate to the kids hanging around the street corners in the East End as well.........

Surely the headlines are all wrong, shouldnt it have been

RUGBY FAN BATTERS INNOCENT MAN IN BETTING SHOP

incorrect

Ryan is 26, he shares same birthday as me 11th November

He likes to be known as TMFMISLMFD.

Very brave or very stupid but good on him!

Is he still playing for Queens by the way? Was on the news last night and he was in hospital with a broken arm, said he did it playing amateur rugby but not who for. Played against him when he was at Queens a good few years back in the Yorkshire cup.

Playing at Woodhouse I heard.

Are they stll due to merge with Queens next season and enter the Peenine League via the back door?

nope
