Best school fight you saw


Recommended Posts

Anyone see some decent fights when they were at school?

 

Two spring to mind for me.

 

First was a guy I knew, tall and pretty well built. Some wee fanny from Kincardine apparently started talking shit about him (as far as I was told) so he took an absolute leathering one day, proper one way stuff. Was great, I hated this wee c**t too, one of those that was all mouth and bullied anyone he thought wouldn't even squeek back.

 

The best was between two guys I didn't know in the year above, they must have been 16 at the time and I've no idea why they were going at it. But this thing lasted a good 15-20 minutes, which was rare as anything normally got broken up within a minute or two. These two guys utterly battered each other until they were so tired they couldn't throw a punch, literally. It was incredible at the time. Seen them both later outside the rector's office laughing away.

Keith Plant. Mad Australian c**t who looked about 40, battered Pencil in 1988.

The same day, he battered Marco Howing.

Wonder whatever happened to Keith.

Did he go back to Oz because he couldn't put down roots?

When we were on our academy visit at the end of P7 we saw a fight that terrified me, you would actually have thought it was a setup to scare the new kids if it wasn't so real.

Big fight details were:

  • Date - Roughly April 1998
  • Location - Kilwinning Academy canteen
  • Fighters - Tommy Teacake (not his real surname) and a guy called Jason.
  • Age - 15/16 (4th years)
  • Rounds - 8
  • Winner - Draw.   Doctor (Curran, a chemistry teacher) stopped the fight due to blood loss.

 

The strangest thing about this fight is that the two guys involved were going out with identical twin sisters.  No idea if this led to the fight but I remember both sisters trying to stop it.  In a side note one of my friends actually ages with these people and pointed out that these twins were the two best looking girls at school but *friend pulls up facebook* look at the state/size of them now.

The fight probably lasted only a couple of mins but was an even tie.  There was a couple of different periods of each fighter laying in some vicious punches and both guys were bleeding a bit.  However the thing that made me think "this is where the big boys play" was the end of the fight.  The guy Jason picked up a full unopened can of coke (may have been irn bru or fanta, but it was a can of juice) and absolutely smashed it off Tommys face.  His nose seemed to split in two at this point.  He didn't go down though but at this stage the teacher jumped in to end the fight.

I witnessed a mass brawl that made the national press. Beat that cuntos!

It was a bit like the scenes in Braveheart where two big mobs run head-on at each other.

Quite a famous headteacher if you are from Alloa.  They knocked us out of the Scottish either the night before or the same night that Super Caley went ballistic which certainly took the heat off us a wee bit.

About primary 3. Big hefty lad around p4 just snapped at some kids calling him names. Picked one of them up by the neck, pinned him against a wall, held him in place with his  gut and started kicking him in the shins. The thuds were booming around the playground.

It is quite amazing how violent school was back when I was there.  There were fights regularly and nothing was ever really done about it.  On my first week in teh school my friend and I were taking a shortcut home and a notorious hard case in our year walked up to my friend and headbutted him for no reason and walked off.  I think he was told to do it by a group of kids in the year above as some sort of half-arsed gang initiation, although it didn't seem half arsed to my friend who was pretty shaken up by it.  The headbutter is now dead, murdered about ten years ago in Inverness.

There were several fights outside of school that saw police called to break them up, mainly because of the groups of dozens of other kids watching them.  I remember one occasion where one of the local hard nuts (you'll see his name in the court pages of the Inverness Courier every few months ) punched a much older kid and he ran into the school and straight to the headmasters office to keep from getting a beating.  I also remember at one school disco (we still had them) a kid who had fallen out with the hard kids sitting crying in the cloakroom because he'd been told he was getting a kicking, I had to go and hang my coat up and he was just sitting there crying.  I don't think I said anything to him, it was an odd feeling seeing someone like that - the humiliation that you'd feel as a teenager being overridden by the fear of violence.  Eventually that kid joined the Royal Marines so maybe it toughened him up.

There were also kids who took knives to school.  I remember when a group went on a trip to France several kids came back with butterfly and flick knives that they flashed about the school.  I don't remember anything ever being done about it.  

Despite all this my school was a pretty good school, who knows what it was like in rough places.  My wife is a teacher now and nothing like this would be put up with at her school, they have much stricter standards on stuff like this.  IN my day, it was kind of accepted that boys would fight and that was it, now it's not.

in sunny ardrossan the roman catholic and non denominational schools used to be separated by playing fields, at times you had best part of a thousand kids fighting, teachers running about like headless chickens trying to split it up and even police in riot gear. the crazy thing was that the kids kicking the shit out of each other were usually mates outside of school and being the late 80's the gang culture was still about. during the day it was like the old firm but at night and weekends it was town warfare and you were  scrapping with the guy you were helping out a few hours later

some of it was really bad with the contents of the metalwork classes being used as weapons

The one I really remember at our school probably wouldn't reach the threshold to be classed as a fight, but it was a belter.

One of the "popular girls", i.e. a total cow who thought she was a model, was standing bitching about another girl in the hallway, when the bitchee arrived, took her jacket and rucksack off, and walked over and sparked her out in one punch, before calmly picking up jacket and bag and heading off to the head teacher's office!

The girl who threw the punch was expelled, and the arsehole was also suspended for bullying, which allowed her a few days off for her face to heal.

Good to hear the old Alma Mater hadn't changed much.

One that stands out was between a lad named "Groaty" and a boy David. David had the height advantage, but Groaty was a hard little p***k. 

After an even first round (10-15 seconds) Groaty started getting on top and was just cracking David in the mouth continuously. David had braces, and on opening his mouth, it was clear to see that the braces had gone out of place and into his gums. He was an utter mess.

Eventually a teacher came steaming through to stop it, and David ran off lobbing himself over a fence to get away from the pursuing teacher. 

Fights at school seemed to happen weekly when I started, but eventually calmed down. My Mrs is a teacher and hasn't reported any fights of late.

I remember watching a guy in first year go into his bag and change into a pair of Doc Martens before a pre-arranged fight with a fellow first year pupil after school and thinking to myself, "This is not going to end well for the other guy".

It didn't.

Fights were always a massive letdown at any school I went to; lots of shoving and "Yeah? Yeah? You startin'? Ooh, you're 'ard". The only serious injury I remember (and I wasn't even there to see it) was a kid in my class who gave himself a compound fracture while running away from one of these slapfests.

Pretty safe to say your average P&Ber would've been The Daddy at most schools in the south of England.

First year at school massive riot between one of the villages (Oakley) and Dunfermline. This led to another fight with one guy pulling a knife on someone a few weeks later.

This tension lasted for years and I ended up getting a doing of a few lads. Some younger brother had vandalised a car of the older lads which led to his big brother and guys in their twenties and older coming through and battering us (younger guys) who were nothing to do with it.  They jumped out a ford escort and one of them had a cowboy hat on. I think us laughing at him didn’t help and I got pulled off a wall and beaten up with logs and kicks. TBF they realised I was just some scrawny 16 year old and left it. Still pretty shit though at the time.

There was no go areas at school and we even had different shops to go to for lunch. Like some pathetic version of bloods and crips. :lol:
