That's why we have words like
Dumbass to describe people like that

Britain has had good fighters for thousands of years....
...the Empire 'on which the sun never set' was possible because of these
guys who can scrap.
Some historians claim that the kings of yore started wars to give the
knights something to do other than jousting and harassing the peasants...
...it was like having a bunch of modern day bikers in your backyard.
Part of my heritage is Yorkshire, so I gotta confess, I'm grinning when I
hear of this going on.

Hah! Love it! That's a movie title if I ever heard one.
To be fair we do not know what the fight was about. Maybe glass over the head guy slept with another guys wife. He may have deserved it.
All of my heritage is Ozarkian, pt, and I too got a chuckle out of Pidge's story. Down here in the hills you're sometimes better off to take a whip and a chair along with your pool cue. :smile:
Too bad for that experience. Sorry to hear anyone has to deal with that. Live and learn I guess. Sometimes bad advice just seems obvious to avoid. Going to a bar for dinner would have been one of those times for me. Maybe next time you drive miles from anywhere for dinner it will be to a restaurant instead of a bar.
Might be just me because I'm getting older, but I wouldn't bring a girl to a bar for any reason. You can call it a pub if you want to make it sound better... whatever ... just seems like a likely place to find assholes. Why even consider subjecting your wife or girlfriend or your evening to that drunken stupor. Seems to me like there was no surprise based on the odds of that happening in bars. Especially bars with pool tables.

Isn't league and practice the same thing? We do have people that look for any problem just to blow it up in some of our leagues but those are the ones I just basically ignore. I'm to laid back to bother with people that see league more than practice while meeting new shooters.
Grumpiness? Wait .. you'll see .. after a while you'll start calling it common sense.

Sounds perfect to me. I'd rather have a bottle smashed over my head than play in a league.

You will, lad, you will.
I think same type of stuff happened in Chicago when the Bulls were a top team. It's sad that mayors have to make announcements like "Please do not destroy our city in celebration" LOL Too much drugs and alchohol and not enough brains in most places.
It has nothing to do with pool (billiards) I have watched pool and gambling for huge stakes for 20 years. I have watched players and stake horses loose over $100K and not a cross word was ever said between the 2 sides. Fights in pool halls are almost never between real gamblers. Why? It's bad for business. Most real fist to cuffs are between hacks. On the other side I have seen brawls over nothing more then a game of 8 ball at a bar for who gets to keep the table.
When you have alcohol plus a competition (pool, darts, Foosball, video golf, or one of those punching machines) people will get in a D**K measuring contest then a fight will start. It really has nothing to do with the game of pool and everything to do with people being an a**h**l

Dumbass is a little harsh. According to the op there was a touched ball involved and it was an official league match.
Section 1.2 (A) Penalty for touched ball - one pint glass broken over the head of offending player.
Last night, I went to a neighborhood meeting at a local school. The city government wants to install sidewalks on Oregon Avenue. The neighbors who live there are pissed off about it. I live one block away, and they want to install a sidewlak on my street, as well.
At the meeting, two men got in a shouting match and starting fist-fighting, right there in our little neighborhood meeting about sidewalks.
The "where" it happnes really doesn't matter sometimes.. It's the "why" people feel like physical assault is the answer, kind of like this forum sometimes, when some unidentified, multiple-identified, and banned members posting attack others for the fun of it. Trolling is a sport on AzBilliards, more popular than pool itself.
