He's actually meant to be one hell of a fella.
Just don't make him angry. You won't like him when he is angry.

He's actually meant to be one hell of a fella.
I've been hit by both. Open hand did more damage. There's a reason they are banned in most martial arts and combat sports.
Settle pettle, I support your coach, I just want a clear up a misconception that an open hand is much better than punching someone. They are in the same category.
Bashing people who provoke you, or pretending you would, is not "protecting yourself".Because id protect myself in a threatening situation? Right o pal. Grow a pair
But it's the truth. It is also the only information I have to form an opinion.
He may be a better person than his bullying and agressive behavior indicates, but based on available evidence he seems like a campaigner.
Why exactly?
The law doesn't protect your right to beat the shit out of people who antagonise you. It happens regularly if you go out and the vast majority of people can deal with minor annoyance without resorting to violence.
What Clarko did wasn't over the top, but suggesting the person got off lightly is.
You are preaching to the wrong bloke mate, I would've snotted him fair and proper
He seems or is based on information available.So he now seems like a campaigner? Not necessarily is one? And the available media information (exaggerations) and your over dramatic reactions to them don't make them the truth. They grow legs well beyond reality of the actual situations.
So you no longer think people deserve to get belted for "behaving like pieces of shit".
That's fine. Belted has a pretty explicit meaning, but if that is not what you intended, then ok.No, I still think that.
I can redefine belted if you like though, I mean a clip around the ears, not having the shit kicked out of them.
He seems or is based on information available.
Has had a go at coaches, fans, umpires, media staff, players and even the blimmin coaches box, so just about any potential target. That is a pattern of behavior, not a lone incident.
It was excatly what players do in a game of footy to break someone trying to impede them. Forcefully push them off. It wasn't a strike at all.
Where?I can't believe how many people are defending a drunk idiot who invaded clarksons personal space, shouted in his ear and filmed it just so he could make a quick buck out of the media frenzy.
And it would be the wrong thing to do. Would mean you are no better and in fact worse than the bloke in the clip.You are preaching to the wrong bloke mate, I would've snotted him fair and proper
What a load of shit.
Open hand strike might 'hurt' more but a fist will cause far more structural damage.
He was just that for mine, a drunken yob. Annoying as ****, they always are, but you don't have the right to just belt them because they're annoying you.
He'd walked with them the whole pathway and there was nothing physical. He gets right to the door and suddenly feels the need to protect himself with a jab to the throat?
Unfortunately for public figures they have to put up with this shit all the time. They don't all respond with violence.
Clarko has anger issues and it's only ever a matter of time until the next time he does something stupid.
Actually, plenty of people advocated a more violent response and said they would belt someone in a similar circumstance. Even "cave their head in". Lots of posters, you included have engaged in a tough guy act.
You seem unhinged.
You are aware Clarkson wasn't on his own and it wasn't his missus he was defending?You are a reasonable bloke Bunk ( EFC aside ) don't let bias cloud your judgment.
Imagine it was you and your missus walking from a club when 3 stooges start following you, harassing you.
You tell them 3 times to **** off then old mate starts yelling in your face.
What would you do
So all are excusable?Having a go at someone doesn't make you in the wrong. It didn't last night and it didn't when that AFL cockroach who wound him up at the airport on the way to a GWS game got a serve. Even the thing with the ump at the kids footy game is a convenient excuse for people to sink the boots in who take no actual context of the story behind what happened.
Putting a whole in the wall is the weakest argument of the lot. How many coaches have smashed phones, thrown their bottles etc? I throw my remote at times which is a silly reaction but it happens sometimes. Doesn't mean I'm a campaigner, even though some may disagree.
You're cool with common assault?
What of the law?
You are aware Clarkson wasn't on his own and it wasn't his missus he was defending?
Just checking.
So all are excusable?
How about punching a bloke from behind? There is a clear pattern of behavior.
Basically, anyone you have to walk on eggshells around, for fear of an agressive or physical response is a fair campaigner. Given the way his supposed friends talk about him, often implying that he has anger problem, there is probably a fair bit more that never makes the press. As for the ump at the footy game it wasnt a one off.
They have been quoted previously.Examples please
So you thubk when someone says "belt someone in a similar circumstance" that they want to put him in hospital with braindamage... or do you mean actually kill them?
Do you think that when people say "Belt the living suitcases out of someone" that actual suit cases come flying out of wounds from being belted up..... really mate FFS.
I have seen no one on this thread seriously want see anyone hurt.
I can have a good guess on a couple of things though..... You do not have brothers, you did not go to boarding school, you have never played a contact sport.
Well done on admitting what a tool you are. It was a perfect opportunity to ignore the drunken fool and walk away. Clarkson's position requires better whether he likes it or notYou are preaching to the wrong bloke mate, I would've snotted him fair and proper
