OT Drunk Football Hooligan took on London Terrorists and lived!

Let's see what @bodyman5000 and 1 has to say about this........


....... sits back and grabs the popcorn......

 

He's a dumbass unless all the chairs were bolted to the ground. That said he's still a hero.

I mean, it's an entirely different situation than the Max train.


He's got balls of steel and 99.99 percent he saved some people. This also makes the attackers look like total pussies so that's good. I mean, three dudes with knives couldn't kill him?

If everyone there grabbed a chair and started beating these assholes to death I'd be happier.

But for fucks sake if you're in a restaurant with chairs that move pick one up like a lion tamer at least. No shame in having to use a chair against three dudes with knives.

 

Seriously, a MILLWALL fan fought a bunch of terrorists. Did any of THEM live? Do a Wikipedia Check about of Milwall.....

 

Maybe I'm just paranoid. My wife always let's me pick my spot at restaurants because I like to see who's coming in. Might have to blame Pulp Fiction for that one.

 

Nah.

 

They are kind of like if Vinnie Jones had an extended family of a couple hundred thousand and decided to support a football club together

 

"Fuck you I'm Millwall" is the greatest shit ever!

 

They should make a movie about this guy. Shit, they made one about that Sully guy who succeed in wrecking a plane. And Quentin Tarantino should direct it. I take that back.... Guy Richie!

 

Holy shit I missed it the first few times I read it. This guy has my mentality exactly.

He says and I quote "like an idiot"

Exactly what I'd say if I did the same thing. I very well may have or hid like a hide and seek game was going on.

It depends on the circumstances.

 

Sign me up

 

They should make sure he's not a total racist first. I'm not saying he is, but let's make sure before we make a movie.

And NO Marky Mark should not get to star in it.

 

Spot on! Chairs and stools are very good shields. A chair leg makes a pretty good club, much more usable than the chair. A guy with chair in the left and club in the right is indeed a scary sight for a knife wielding assailant. It can give them that "aw fuck" sensation.

 

If it can help keep a lion off your ass it would help on these pussies.

 

If you use the whole barstool and grab the seat you can use it to keep distance from the attacker while trying to get their arm caught in it and by twisting you can attempt to disarm them. If you break a leg off and start swinging it you are going on the offensive vs an offensive opponent wielding a stronger weapon. Best situation would to be on the defensive.

Then again if you had 10 people beating the 3 with barstool legs then you can be successful. I still think if you are involved you should try to disarm your attacker first and foremost.

 

Don't know a thing about them, but I have a favorite soccer team now.

Remember when Florida State used "Let's roll" as their slogan after 9/11 from the battle cry on flight 93? Oregon needs to adopt "Fuck you, I'm Millwall" as theirs

 

Oh, and before anyone says I wouldn't think of using a chair.....I sometimes want to hit my waiter with a chair if he or she doesn't refill my water in a timely fashion.

 

"Fuck you, I'm Milwall!" has to be one of my favorite things ever.

 

I would give every bit of money I ever had if they put up two signs in Autzen stadium, one that said.... "The Germans?!" and another that said.... "Forget it. He's rolling."

 

I think nearly everything you said is true.

The training I had for this situation was to do almost like you say.
Grab a Bar Stool to use as a shield.
Use the baton to counter attack a thrust or cutting attack.
Maintain the defense until aid arrives.

The only time I ever was in this situation, the knife man had the "aw shit moment" before ever making even one attempt on offense.
A gang of regulars showed up in about three minutes while the dumb shit surveilled his lack of options. No way out but through me.
It also helped that I wore a leather arm guard on the left arm, wrist to elbow. Standard issue.
