Documentary - "Knuckle"

Post by forcefraser »

Anybody seen this documentary about a feued between Irish travellers, resulting in a number of bare knuckle fights?

I watched it last night and it was an interesting film. It`s difficult to relate to their mindset though, as they operate by a different set of rules to the rest of us. Some great characters in it though.

The top quote from it has to be "I came for fair play" (Big Paul Joyce)

When it suits they quote the gypsy law this and the traveller law that, when it doesnt they're devious little feckers that'll do owt for owt.

They've been showing it on Sky Box Office. I enjoyed it, must say. Curious sense of fair play shown, not what I was expecting

Cheers for the tip-off on this pal. I watched it online yesterday, i love fly-on-the-wall documentaries about fighting. It was a decent watch.

It doesnt need to be downloaded. I found a few sites (through a google search) that were streaming it.

No worries mate. Documentaries like that are usually quite entertaining.

Was just about to post this - there must be about 1000 gypsies/travellers walking round with 10000-0 records.

Oh, I'm sure you're right - both about the unbeaten fella and plenty of house dwellers talking shite too.

All I'm saying is that there are a lot of supposed 'never lost a fight in my life' travellers walking around.

Happy to chat to anyone.

In the film you can see him doing a bit of pad work and he has a very decent left jab, thats for certain! Reference was also made to a board on the wall of a gym where I think it was showing that he had been some sort of amateur boxing champion in Ireland in 1984.
