Scot assaulted by two "Irishmen" on Pattaya Beach



PATTAYA: -- Just before 3.30am on Thursday, Police and rescue services were called to Pattaya Beach in front of Soi 13/2 to deal with a serious assault on a British national by two men with Irish accents.

Lying on the floor covered in blood and in a semi-conscious state was Mr. Alan Short aged 50 from Scotland. He had sustained facial injuries and had lost a considerable amount of blood from a wound inside his mouth and on his head.

Witnesses described the two assailants to Police who were able to arrest them further up Pattaya Beach Road in front of the Royal Garden Plaza. Both men had Irish accents but refused to confirm if they were British or Irish Nationals and refused to give their names or date of births and were taken to Pattaya Police Station.

Could anyone identify the football top the Scot is wearing ?

[laurentbkk]

[blackman]

i have seen that guy

hes in the movies

[robblok]

Again, a alcohol fueled fight.. and then they call other drugs dangerous

[Treborz]

Hmmmm the Scottish guy is wearing a Rangers FC top.

Chances of the two Irish guys being Celtic fans and this being an argument stemmed from football/religion? Very high in my opinion.

Thankfully they are now locked up and will have to pay for the Scots medical expenses.

Morons, hope they spend a lot of time behind bars and are kicked out of the Kingdom for good afterwards.

Speedy recovery for the Scotsman.

Do the media actually ride around with the BIB. They always seem to be on hand to record/photograph the arrests. When ever I attend such an incident there is never a reporter within cooee.

The two allegedly Irish guys seem like a couple of arrogant smug morons. Refusing to give your details to the police definitely doesn't help your cause. I believe an attitude adjustment is in order.

Nothing to an auld firm derby. Shame the bigots have to export it to Pattaya.

One post and a quoted reply removed:

It must have been an 'iron bar' 555

[transam]

Yet more of the ''Creme de la Creme'' of farang society.

[ttthailand]

30 days in lock up with 50 Thais to a cell, that will take that smile off their faces. Punks !!!

The word you are after is Galoots. Leave it at home, that goes for both sides of the Old Firm.

[technologybytes]

The danger of being assulted in Pattaya seems to increase exponentially after 2am.. same as anywhere I guess.

The Scottish guy is wearing a Glasgow Rangers football top. Rangers are the Protestant team in Glasgow. The Irish guys probably saw the "Proddie" and decided to beat him up. The brain dead on both sides of the Religious divide in Ireland and Scotland have been carrying on a pathetic religious war for the last century or so. They'll be sorry they brought it over to Thailand after a night in jail...

I have been on the receiving side too. I was walking through Glasgow one day with a t-shirt on (which I had bought in Thailand a few years earlier) which had varicoloured horizontal stripes on a white background. There were some green stripes in it - the colour of the Glasgow catholic team. Celtic. A couple of young hoodlums accused me of being a "dirty fenian bastard" and I got a couple of stab wounds and a black eye for nothing. One of the hoodlums got a serious boot in the balls before I legged it. he crumpled to the ground in agony with his mate screaming at me "You didn't have to do that!". Sorry - yes I did actually.

Do you know how it all started? Scots man could have been asking for it.

[Dararasmi]

Perhaps we should merge this with that silly thread about farangs wearing shorts.

It's not a Rangers top, it's similar to one from 20 odd years ago but does not have the sponsors name on the fronthttp://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Rangers/Rangers-change-kits.html

No, but he is a really snazzy dresser eh? Typical round-ball football mentality, extra bright.

[onionluke]

It is possible the two assailants were having a laugh at the expense of rangers lowly position in Scottish football , without mention of religion .

Irish mafia arrived a long time ago

How about this, the over sized drunk Scott decided to chant off some rangers tunes to annoy the peace loving Irish guys who were sober at the time, the Irish guys did not react so the drunk expat then swung a dig and missed due to his belly being in the way as the Irish guys side stepped his swing. He fell, hit the ground but due to his enormous beer gut, his head repeatedly hit the ground in a rocking motion....Slainte

Indeed. Isn't it amazing how there are so many instant judges on this forum...

Thank the Lord none of them are really on the bench....we'd all be dead by now...

Aw shucks, this is normal tourist behavior. I often see Thais is the USA, seeking out Cambodians to beat up

Thailand has become over touristed and the locals will hold us in even lower regard.

I just watched Only God forgives where one scene an American thug insults a Thai father saying "I want to <deleted> your 14 year old daughter" Another scene trups the former when a UK thug tells a Thai cop he is a c@nt for blocking his view...

Unfortunately some locals paint all of us with the same brush- and I'm understanding why.
