Arsenal

Fair fucks to Kolasniac. He seems a big lad, the little twats on the moped must've shit themselves.

Its a bizarre incident alright. It might just have been a clumsy attempt from some of those berks at AFTV to get an interview!. Robbie, Troopz and the rest will do anything to get their likes, viewing and subscriber numbers up

Ozil taking us to task...

View attachment 53336

Thing is, I'm confused by a couple of things:
a) Original tweet makes no sense. Surely it's why was he TAKING the photo? Unless it's a reference to being invisible against United.
b) Was Ozil so bored that he went searching for his name on Twitter? He wasn't tagged in the original post...

It took Ozil FOUR DAYS to reply to that tweet, and that's the best he could do. Clearly he's not spending any of that ill-gotten £350k a week on comedy writers.

It's still pre-season don't forget. The Arsenal squad haven't got back to their usual levels of social media usage/selfie taking etc. A few weeks into the season he'll be taking selfies with the best of them and he'll still be one of the favourites for most hashtags in all comps I'm sure. If there's one thing you can't fault Arsenal players for, it's their commitment to posting absolute bollocks on twitter and instagram from the kickoff to the final whistle.

Kolasniac bringing the smack down lol fair play to him he was bouncing all over the shop saying come on ya fackers to the cowardly knife shits.

He may be a gooner but I’m kinda liking him now lol.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Shame he didn't properly get hold of the little pricks and give them a good kicking, don't fancy their chances even with a metal pole.

This is not sitting right with me. I'd love to see the full footage.

It's a scary thing no doubt potentially getting killed - surely they wouldn't stage something like this to get hero status ?

I'd imagine SK has been told by his agent, AFC and their insurance companies to change his
lifestyle and maybe pay for some security out of his mega wages when in dangerous areas.

Sure - given the thread I was being flippant, but it is a worrying trend in our society. Footballers seem to be getting targeted quite regularly these days eg Andy Carroll a few years ago, and I am sure they are getting briefed as to the best ways of protecting themselves and their property.
Not all of them are psychotic apes like Duncan Ferguson who practically dis membered those two burglars he found on his property a few years ago - an incident I have just remembered while typing this.
You must be glad to be living back in Ireland these days.

I doubt they were targeted. Moped gangs like that are rife in London. Naturally they target the affluent areas. Anyone driving one of those big blingy Merc jeeps is going to be loaded, so they will have just taken the opportunity. They wouldn't have counted on a big bastard chasing them off.

Bit like when that City lad decked one of those motorbike thieves... can't find the story atm.

I am indeed glad to be back here @Buggsy61 - mostly because of my kids 21/18/16
My English hometown was Hertford for 26 years - the place is now a mugging robbing zone, mostly drugs related with drug users getting money for their fixes. Not a safe place anymore with outsiders also coming in on the trains.

With Ozil/SK one of the things I'm trying to get my head around is the '10 or 15 minute chase' across Finchley/Golders Green. I know the area well and I just can't see knife wielding moped riders hanging around in full public view trying to pursue a victim and get caught in broad daylight..

If I was in a G wagen or any other motor with my wife I would get a bit active with the steering wheel and try to run the fuckers over while the Mrs is on the phone to the old bill.

As for Ireland , it's a shame crime has caught up here in the cities, part of Dublin are no go areas with feral gangs operating, there are plenty of manslaughters all over the land but unfortunately most of the bad stuff is men against women.

Sad times

I live in golders green and haven’t noticed any knife wielding moped gangs myself. I have noticed the blatantly obvious drug dealers standing outside the costa coffee. As for Dublin I’m not to sure about the no go areas as its a big place for a small city where about’s are we talking?

County lines?

Could be so easily fixed. Happened to be in Chelmsford at silly o'clock in the morning about 6 weeks ago as the last train came in. It was shocking how many mules came off the train and just stood around under the bridge to pass on gear, and then just waited around to get the first train back.

Anyways... not D&D this is General Football...

My first thought was that it was some weird fucking PR stunt, especially because Ozil is involved.

But then I figured, wouldn't they try and make Ozil look cool rather than having him run away leaving his mate on his own against two 'armed' gang members?

Still find the length of the video a bit odd too, as presumably they have full access so why not show the whole thing?

Anyway... back to work.

I can't deny that Ireland IMO is at a bit of crossroads with itself. The government are not looking after the people with the homeless crisis and the housing crisis, gang violence on the rise and an Garda Siochana having limit resources to stop it. I won't however take your second link as a credible source although it does contain stories of violence and social issues from credible sources it looks to have an agenda behind it.

2 incidents in 3 years is quite regular I suppose ?

Don't forget that there have been numerous sophisticated burglaries of Merseyside players whilst they were away on European duty. I think they ended up calling the gang 'the away crew' or something. Not sure they were ever caught, but it got ridiculous at one point. These criminals know footballers have a lot of spare cash, expensive watches and bling, so its not surprising really that they are targeted to some extent.

The second source I agree is political, not intended but the best I could do at the time, I am having serious internet issues here this week. Even now I am having trouble I can only suggest you google away with the search terms 'Dublin no go areas' There are rather a lot of references

 

[ClintEastwould]

Fair fucking play to Kolasinac that is a very admirable thing to do. Not sure why anyone would try and run up on the guy though he is a massive meatball and wildly scary looking himself.

 

[Spurrific]

Time to ban people on mopeds from wearing helmets, imo. If they're lame enough to ride a moped, they don't deserve safety.
