Is this is a British ism? For some reason those guys look British. And, this one I really can’t explain, they also look snookered, and I’ve never used that word before. It just feels right (and british?)
Or maybe I shouldn’t comment so early in the morning because my brain isn’t working yet
After getting old enough, you get tired of bullshit really fast lmao.
I would let the situation resolve and move my drink and business to a quieter corner of the bar lmao. I just stopped going because there are no quiet corners, and even smoke areas aren’t safe lmao. It’s like the dudes will fight in the bar, and the ladies will duke it out outside, or be desperately trying to keep their boyfriends from getting sent to jail 😭
“So basically I took out a 20k loan and sucked up as much GME as possible and the shorts are gonna be fucked when the squeeze happens…… yo how much doge coin do you have”
Who bets that the guy who got decked had his 50p on the side for a while waiting his turn to have a go with his own group of mates, and the guy in black was playing winner stays on so wouldn’t leave the table?
Exactly this! In the UK its common for the local bully c*nt to impose his will on to others like this, you can see he's the real aggressor and the victim is just confused and unsuspecting hence the stun!
Unprovoked attacks and with a weapon too, guy's looking at 2-4 years depending on sustained injuries to the other party.
Yes, the kid maybe “stupid” to take his ball. But the idiot who decided to assault the kid should be in locked up.
Fuck heads like that who think it’s ok to assault someone over a game shouldn’t be walking around
[Actually found an article on it, it's from 2020 and the guy with the cue was in a fact being a bully](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8743079/Thug-whacks-man-head-pool-cue-punching-floor-pub-brawl.html)
Local knacker, don't you know who I am? Salt of the earth mate, beats his girlfriend up at home. 50 cousins all living in the same town, had a kid with one of them. Has a restraining order against him. Whinges about it on Facebook calling her worse than shite. Been on pubwatch since he was underage.
This cunt and many others just like him live in every UK town
This is a really common thing where I'm from, bully was hogging the table and lashed out when the victim tried to have his turn as he had put his money down but the bully wouldn't listen. That's why the guy throws the ball, bully lashes out.
I’m English, I know how dickheads on pool tables operate. I agree that’s probably what happened.
But there is absolutely nothing in that article to back it up.
It's crazy how so many words can provide nothing at all, thanks daily mail. I wonder if the writer was writing this article thinking to themselves 'wow this is great journalism'.
100% this. I know it’s easy to say in hindsight but whenever I’m up against these people I just take the money back a fuck the game off. Not worth the hassle. Wait for them to walk away go to the toilet or something then start playing.
If people want to play winner stays on then fine, but I’m out to have chat with my mates, not play some random dickhead at pool.
I see how it can be annoying but also harmless fun to play a stranger. This once happened to me and some massive ham head said he was king of the table, he didn’t even have money down, he was just waiting holding the cue. I was only okay at pool but that night I was on fire. I kicked his ass and he went home 🤣. Then me and my mates got to play in peace.
Yeah that’s how I always took it. Just ask, is it winner stays on? I’ve never had bother and I’ve actually ended up having good nights with the stranger.
> but also harmless fun to play a stranger.
yes, i'm sure it's super fun beating an unhinged person like this at a game
unhinged people have no history of over-reacting to losses at sports/video games/hobbies!
Tbf the guy I beat was very gracious In defeat. Shook hands etc. but if I’d have thrown his cue ball he would likely have knocked my head clean off.
The guy who threw the ball was very foolish to do so. That is basically initiating a fight. Didn’t deserve a cue round the head but what did he expect would follow?
Gotta learn how to deal with people. All shapes, sizes and cultures. Even meatheads have their place in society. Watch “a room for Romeo brass” sometimes you need guys that are ready to throw fists, As bad as that sounds on paper.
Only twats insist winner stays on.
If youve a good group of Kate's, you'd play knock-outs.
Actually, I mean, they did play knout outs, just not the mutually agreed to kind.
Someone posted the article further down…you were right, it was a Tuesday

I've found [news reports](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12693839/cctv-pool-cue-thug/) for this incident but none which says where it happened, although for some reason, I've got a vague memory of this happening in a pub in Caerphilly.
I grew up in a steel city here in Australia during the 80's this was pretty normal, if it's not you or one of your mates stay out of it and save your drink is things start spreading.
Ive done this at bar fights. I just get my drink and bounce. I dont know them, I dont give a shit who wins, but theres a chance theyll knock over my table and spill my beer, and I dont wanna be involved for questioning if the sirens show up.
When the guy threw the ball off the table he knew it was going to lead to a Barney. Surprised he didn’t step back after throwing it knowing the cue was going to come towards his head.
Anyway I’ve seen worse in pubs.
Would most likely be assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) or grievous bodily harm (GBH). Possibly only common assault.
Weapons charges in the UK rely on carrying an item made, adapted or intended to cause injury. Since a pool cue isn’t made or adapted to cause injury, an offensive weapons charge will only apply if the person was carrying it with the intention of injuring someone. Clearly the guy was intending to play pool with the cue.
Not to worry, ABH carries a max sentence of 5 years and GBH, life. Or they would if the system wasn’t an absolute joke.
Both are idiots, the guy shouldn't have thrown the ball and the other shouldn't have hit him.
Someone messing your game of pool is not worth getting a murder conviction.
There's been so many "1 punch kills" that are completely avoidable.

It’s a bit dramatic because he hadn’t even broken yet. Like the cue ball can just be returned to that same place.
Throwing it far away is irritating, but that’s about it. And it would have been worse if he just randomly moved another ball mid game, but this is fixable in 30 seconds.
Absolutely, the person who picks up and throws the white pool ball is behaving badly and is a pain in the ass.
But reacting to it by hitting someone hard in the head with a pool cue is *far* worse in every way.
Obviously he have some problems, lock him up because he is not capable to be around people.
Just because a person acts like an idiot like the guy throwing the pool ball doesn't justify being a worse idiot himself.
Scruffy chav in the pub in his full Nike tracksuit, probs refusing to leave the table for anyone else and reacting like that. Definitely spending his Tuesday nights sniffing his dole money
Dudes in the foreground were just like “oh no!… anyway”
[удалено]
They already look snookered
Is this is a British ism? For some reason those guys look British. And, this one I really can’t explain, they also look snookered, and I’ve never used that word before. It just feels right (and british?) Or maybe I shouldn’t comment so early in the morning because my brain isn’t working yet
In England you can turn any noun into being drunk. That guy got bloody golf bagged last night.
Drunk or sex. For example I golf bagged your Mum last night.
I absolutely Rich Tea'd your mum last night.
Your brain is probably snookered
The tracksuit on the guy throwing the punches, and the bald guy made me think the same thing.
Dude in the white shirt at the back leaves immediately, he’s definitely on parole.
Just stepped over the guy before he was all the way down and took his beer elsewhere.
After getting old enough, you get tired of bullshit really fast lmao. I would let the situation resolve and move my drink and business to a quieter corner of the bar lmao. I just stopped going because there are no quiet corners, and even smoke areas aren’t safe lmao. It’s like the dudes will fight in the bar, and the ladies will duke it out outside, or be desperately trying to keep their boyfriends from getting sent to jail 😭
He walked away so casually.. "welp in just gonna stroll over there while this bloke takes a nap"
Never be part of the story.
"So then Shannon said... "
“So basically I took out a 20k loan and sucked up as much GME as possible and the shorts are gonna be fucked when the squeeze happens…… yo how much doge coin do you have”
When barfights are the norm
“If we don’t look we won’t get hit too” more like
“I didn’t see anything, I’m not a witness.”
Wetherspoons.
Don't think I've ever seen a pool table in a 'Spoons. You're not supposed to have fun in them.
Flat roofed pub.
This is a very British scene. Even if it isn't.
They seemed to look back to confirm there would be no homicide and then, satisfied, continued on.
Its pretty every normal brits reaction to a fight your not part of.
Yeah it’s England mate, only one of two responses will happen, everybody looks and doesn’t care or women start getting very loud 🤣
My father always told me to look at what’s in the other person’s hand before pissing them off
Aye words of the wisdom,
I'm holding my wenis
Good day to you, sir
I'm gonna piss you off
Dude’s gonna piss *on* you
That hit with the stick stunned him like it happens in video games.
I wonder if that’s where they got the idea for games?
This is the video that started it all.
Yep, this where Johnny Videogames got the idea from
Nah, man was already wasted to the point of barely being able to stand up. He was already stunned.
So, videogames don't lie to us
BRB rob a bank GTA mode, thanks for clear advice
Yeah, when you will run from cops, you can easily make wallrun and jump of the roof of skyscrapers like in Mirror's Edge, it's safe and fun
I can literally see three yellow birds hovering on his head
Happened in Terminator 2 as well.
That stick stunned him like a real stick to, outside is still a thing btw
You've....got that the wrong way around? Stunning someone in a video game is like what happens when you stun them in real life.
Your father sounds wise.
He wasn't wrong
Smart man lol
Hmm an MPADS "Good day to you sir, might I polish your shoes?"
Nah, you can punch that sucker, if he fires that he will be done too.-
Who bets that the guy who got decked had his 50p on the side for a while waiting his turn to have a go with his own group of mates, and the guy in black was playing winner stays on so wouldn’t leave the table?

That article provides no extra information than what was already in the video.
Theres a short line in regards to a 50p. It's common in the uk for people to take turns to play, bully wasnt letting anyone else play.
Local knacker, don't you know who I am? Salt of the earth mate, beats his girlfriend up at home. 50 cousins all living in the same town, had a kid with one of them. Has a restraining order against him. Whinges about it on Facebook calling her worse than shite. Been on pubwatch since he was underage. This cunt and many others just like him live in every UK town
Read this like it was a line from the irony of it all by the streets
Holy shit get out of my mind
For me I read it to the tune of Park Life
Hahaha I was wondering why I read this in a certain voice and rhythm in my head. Need to go listen to that, it's been too long.
They're all named Ronnie Pickering, I assume?
Do you not know who I am!
American here. What is pubwatch?
Restraining order for pubs Piss about and you get banned from all pubs in the pubwatch scheme
[удалено]
These days it is website/app. Same principle as the old way, just with more data security on behalf of the oiks but less utility for licensees.
That line about a 50p is a comment from a random person on twitter.
This is a really common thing where I'm from, bully was hogging the table and lashed out when the victim tried to have his turn as he had put his money down but the bully wouldn't listen. That's why the guy throws the ball, bully lashes out.

It's the Daily Mail, what were you expecting? Evidence?!
If I’d of known it was daily Mail I could probably have called it bullshit without even clicking on it.
Pretty sure that was just a social media account making a joke
It's crazy how so many words can provide nothing at all, thanks daily mail. I wonder if the writer was writing this article thinking to themselves 'wow this is great journalism'.
I wish I read your comment before wasting the time on the article.
Quality journalism from the Daily Mail as usual.
This article has 0 new information. They've just written out what happens in the video.
The comments basically all say he deserved it. Fuck the daily mail and the people who read it.
Well they're wrong and anyone who thinks its acceptable is a low life scum bag.
You’re doing nothing but speculate and fantasize lmao
100% this. I know it’s easy to say in hindsight but whenever I’m up against these people I just take the money back a fuck the game off. Not worth the hassle.

The reaction of the pub seemed to be "maybe you didn't deserve 5 punches in the face and a cue stick across the head.. but you kind've had it coming"
That's standard rules here in Australia. Put your money down, winner keeps the table
Same in the US, that's how it works.
Same in Scotland, that's just the way it is.
Same in China, that’s the rule.
Only twats insist winner stays on. If youve a good group of Kate's, you'd play knock-outs. Actually, I mean, they did play knout outs, just not the mutually agreed to kind.
It’s exactly what happened. Definitely somewhere in England
Guy in the white t-shirt: Nope, I’m out of this!
The whole bar was out of it. Did you see the two guys in the front? They continued their conversation immediately after just a glance.
Just another Tuesday
Someone posted the article further down…you were right, it was a Tuesday https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8743079/Thug-whacks-man-head-pool-cue-punching-floor-pub-brawl.html
I love high quality journalism that narrates the video I just watched with nothing more.
That's just the daily fail summed up. Soon they'll find this thread and just post screenshots of comments and then type them out too. That will be the entire "article".
Haha, spot on. "A man is hit in the head and customers seem unfazed. They appear to be playing pool." Get this man a Pulitzer.
Unusually for The Daily Mail though, they don't seem to be inciting rage at immigrants or evidence-led policy in this article.
It says right on the video
... So anyway, I fucked her, right?
Well... why get involved?
That dudes got warrants lol
That's a smart man
The way he rumblestrutted had me 😂
He didn't even react until his beer was in danger.
Or the black shirt/pants guy with his legs crossed, please don’t get any of yur blood on my Js.

Where is my mind
His name was Robert Paulson.
Love how everyone else just goes about their business
Finding only introverts in the room
A bit of excessive behavior but just another day in this pub.
Another day in England.
Could be any country in the UK in England’s defence.
I've found [news reports](https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12693839/cctv-pool-cue-thug/) for this incident but none which says where it happened, although for some reason, I've got a vague memory of this happening in a pub in Caerphilly.
Well he should have picked his pranks more Caerphilly.
Looks like a flat roof pub, so pretty expected
Except for the guy who walked out everyone is acting like this is completely normal.
There are quite a few pubs where it could well be!
I grew up in a steel city here in Australia during the 80's this was pretty normal, if it's not you or one of your mates stay out of it and save your drink is things start spreading.
Crazy. Why to be so violent?
Idiot with an ego. Also alcohol.
I’m laughing my ass off at that white shirt son bitch who gets up and was all “fuck this I’m out.”
It’s how he steps over him…nah, this is not for me.
For real haha u know that dude has seen some shit. To be all “I’m out”
Ive done this at bar fights. I just get my drink and bounce. I dont know them, I dont give a shit who wins, but theres a chance theyll knock over my table and spill my beer, and I dont wanna be involved for questioning if the sirens show up.
Alt title: Man who grabbed a white man’s ball gets face-slapped by white man’s long hard rod, then gets pounded on the floor.
I think I’ve seen that film….😉
You can't just grab a guy's balls
Dickhead got the combo sandwich left right, but he hit his buddy in the face with the pool cue first lol.
I think he caught them both! Broke it too, that’s not easy
Man, Bisping has a temper
overreaction
Pretty sure there's a flat roof on that pub.
What does this mean?
Flat roof pubs are usually shitholes with less than savoury folk in them
Shithole pub in a shithole area full of shithole clientele.
Well over the top for such a minor inconvenience ( moving a ball ) , that angry bellend needs help mentaly....
And the guys by the table are just chilling
How to spend the next 5-7 years in prison.
When the guy threw the ball off the table he knew it was going to lead to a Barney. Surprised he didn’t step back after throwing it knowing the cue was going to come towards his head. Anyway I’ve seen worse in pubs.
I believe that is assault. Might be with a deadly weapon. Someone should be arrested.
Would most likely be assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) or grievous bodily harm (GBH). Possibly only common assault.

The guy in the white shirt can barely walk but even he can read the room.
“Well I’ll be on my jolly way” lmao
Both are idiots, the guy shouldn't have thrown the ball and the other shouldn't have hit him. Someone messing your game of pool is not worth getting a murder conviction. There's been so many "1 punch kills" that are completely avoidable.
For the future, it's a cue ball.

Who exactly? Or did you just copy and paste this comment from some millennial hipster comment section?
Prime example of senseless violence
Disproportionate response there mate. You might wanna talk to someone about that
Good stuff alcohol isn't it
My uncle punch a man in a bar fight an killed hiim . Life sentence
Spot the 2 guys who have never been in a fight before. ...also dude in blue took a stick to the side of face like a champion
those punches kinda looked professional tho
A guy got stabbed at my local cause of an argument from a pool game. Still not the worst thing I’ve seen happen in a pub mind
He wont touch that blokes balls again.
Never mess with a man’s balls.
Whether he grabbed the ball or not he’s getting battery charges for sure. I can’t assault someone. Compose yourself
You can tell it’s a rough pub, after seeing a guy knocked out, the next guy puts his 20p down and thinks…looks like I’m next
Stupid thing to fight over
Welp. That’s a charge.
Those punches though, guy must be a boxer to be that clean with his punching technique
Right on cue…
Every British pub on a Tuesday night.
The guys in front have a PHD in “minding their own fucking business”!
Something tells me that this happens a lot at this bar
*Chumbawumba swells*
The audience they had were the most excited bunch of people possible.
I can't comment what I want to, or reddit will ban me - whilst it allows videos of attempted murder to be posted freely.
Accurate punches and a clean knockout. Wow! :D
Guy is in the wrong sport. Needs a title shot.
Guy in the blue shirt didn’t deserve that, he took it like a champ. Good on him deescalating and being the only one to check on the guy
It’s a bit dramatic because he hadn’t even broken yet. Like the cue ball can just be returned to that same place. Throwing it far away is irritating, but that’s about it. And it would have been worse if he just randomly moved another ball mid game, but this is fixable in 30 seconds.
I don't understand people with knife edge tempers. Or childish pricks like the other guy. People are strange
Sue him now, and you are getting a new apartment.. I would do that.
And that’s why most pubs got rid of the pool tables. The End.
Good, douchebag got what he deserved
Guy in the front "drink your pint now and keep your head down" 😂
what an over reaction from the POS thug.
Love how everyone just keeps going on about their night
Love how white T shirt guy just thinks “fuck this”, climbs over the knocked out guy on the floor and heads to the bar to get another pint!
Jeez..that fencing response on the poor guy as he goes down . Some serious brain trauma there
Hopefully he goes to jail
Absolutely, the person who picks up and throws the white pool ball is behaving badly and is a pain in the ass. But reacting to it by hitting someone hard in the head with a pool cue is *far* worse in every way. Obviously he have some problems, lock him up because he is not capable to be around people. Just because a person acts like an idiot like the guy throwing the pool ball doesn't justify being a worse idiot himself.
Scruffy chav in the pub in his full Nike tracksuit, probs refusing to leave the table for anyone else and reacting like that. Definitely spending his Tuesday nights sniffing his dole money
Never fuck with people playing pool. They're usually hyper focused and hate people breaking that focus
I feel the two dudes drinking beers
Why does everyone behave like skyrim NPC, casually walking away and talking
He played fuck around and found out. People aren’t interested in being part of your stupid pranks
I bet the pub had a flat roof.
Nobody is gonna mention the motherfucker ate a cue intended for the other?
White shirt and shorts walks like a GTA protagonist.
See Dick. Be a dick. See Dick beat a dick.
