This might seem pretty niche, but here goes...

Videos of football matches on Youtube that are set to Music.  Drives me mad.  I find a clip of a game I haven't seen, and the commentary and crowd noise has been replaced by some totally inappropriate country pop or soft rock music.  Who the f*** wants to watch a football match to music? Never mind music that doesn't even capture the speed or aggression of the game.  Grinds my gears anyway!!

edit: Here is an example.

WTF is the point in this.  Why on earth would you be bothered doing this?

That particular clip and associated clips from the same account all seem to be evangelical preaching religious music. Are you trying to turn us all?

Some of you feckers could do with a bit of religion  ;D

I actually didn't realise that it was religious music - I wasn't listening to the lyrics.  You must be a connoisseur BCB?

Saw a video of a doorman in Belfast smash some fellas head off the pavement. A sc**bag no doubt but the bouncer fanboys justifying it sickens my hole.

Seen the video there alright, its always hard to know what's happened without the proper context.  I wonder what the protocol is for bouncers after incidents like that, do they call police/ambulance?

The man was clearly knocked unconscious and the bouncer lifts his legs to clear the doorway and appears to leave him there.
I tend to think of myself as a one man wolfpack...

Don't think there's any context that could justify body slamming someone head first onto the pavement to be honest.

Ethan Tremblay

Of course, what I meant is, why did the fight break out in the first place, what was the context that led to the bouncer doing that? If he was to bodyslam every sc**bag that walks into that mcdonalds vince mcmahon would have him signed up to wwe.

The 'victim' is well know in and around Belfast and I believe hes in a bad way on life support. Most will know the family name. Been discussing this today re the outcome of this. While the bouncer can claim self defence as the young lad appears to be attacking him. Is the Security job not to get the person outside, lock the door and call the cops? I'm sure he wishes he done that now!

The lad is well known and from a well known family too. He had a lot of trauma as a child which has had an impact on his behaviour and also had his father brutally killed by another well know family. He may have been goading the bouncer but the final actions were extreme.

Obviously the smick initiated it, I'd imagine he's been barred from mcds or something, it all starts off pretty tame in the video from the looks of it.

The lad grabs the door man in a headlock and starts throwing punches to his head, body slam extreme and outcome bad but the doorman didnt go out of his way to start a fight, if the person was kicked out of McD's then he should have walked away and went somewhere else. No lets start a fight

Bad for both parties but I don't think he's in life support, think he left the hospital?
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Sorry should have said intensive care with a fractured skull (family statement).

Orior

Without knowing the context, I assume the family would say that he one of those "lovable rogues", which to the rest of us means he is a complete ballbag.

Doing the doors isnt for everyone. Doormen act like this isn't part of the job description (unfortunate that they have to put up with it but surely they know it comes with the territory).
Simple solution would be  push the fella away, lock the door and keep him outside.

"Asking for a friend."

It was funny the first time. Second time, not so much. After the squillionth time it's just getting a bit played out.
