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

You should have gone to Specsavers.

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.

Could you give it a try? Couldn't make your posts any worse could it?

Go on I'll bite. Which random meeting aroused you?

I once met Marvin from JLS.

I have no idea who that is. But that post was a step up for you, in my not particularly humble opinion.

Its a members only wholesalers on Gelderd Road, Marvin must work there or something,

Jeez Louise, I gave you and everyone else a judicial clue pages pages back. Slater isn't expected to weigh up the niceties and can react instinctively. Nailed on self defence.

"it will be recognised that a person defending himself cannot weigh to a nicety the exact measure of his defensive action. If the jury thought that that in a moment of unexpected anguish a person attacked had only done what he honestly and instinctively thought necessary, that would be the most potent evidence that only reasonable defensive action had been taken ..."

I expect better from you.

I wasn't really thinking of legal positions. Which are irrelevant if nobody is being charged. My opinion is merely that of the internet busybody. In that capacity I am still dubious as to how threatened he felt.

Still, if was ever stupid enough to slap a pro RL player (or anyone else for that matter) round the head outside a bar, I'd expect to get lamped for my trouble.

I am flattered by your high expectations, unmerited though they are.

Crowded market, you'll struggle to stand out. Stick to being an informed and reasoned poster.

Is that like jumping over the brush?



I think Slater should be locked up for say ....until 1st December

Ingliss, Cronk, Thurston and Smith were probably involved too somehow.

That sounds dull. What's the pay like?

Retaliation can be Self-Defense.

"Always get your retaliation in first" is an old precept ... well recognised in law.

None of them, they didn't happen.

Ah, so it's jealousy, your feeling a precious left out little soul. I am sure there is someone who will befriend you, somewhere.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

Slater out of the semi-final, Phil Clarke's revenge maybe?
