Marshaling - Slovakian Style

[Peat]

I tried to find a youtube link, but can only find this on bookface:

I'm sure this will be frowned upon, but when you have drunk spectators in an out-of-bounds area that don't want to move, this is one way to shift them i guess.

I don't suggest you try this in the UK.....

brilliant. Too much PC and pussyfooting around in this country.

While its 'funny' from the outside looking in, it's pretty disgraceful behaviour by the marshals, no amount of abusive/drunken behaviour by spectators deserves that. If a security guard or policeman did that, they would be sacked and charged......

Not sure it's an approach I'd recommend - assault causing actual bodily harm - but of course, we don't know what led up to that and what provocation might have occurred so as always, armchair marshalling with a huge pinch of we don't know the facts.

looks fake to me...

Interesting dilemma - if two possibly inebriated guys try to cross a live track is it better to try and stop them before they kill/injure themselves or worse one or more competitors.

Unless, of course, it was certain ornaments of the Met?

Well, I am surprised Health and Safety haven't got hold of this. I mean we need proper training in this sort of thing. I am surprised our overseeing body haven't produced a module, someone might sue if it all goes wrong.

The overseeing body should include within the module - how to deal with this, what technique to use, and vocalisations.

For intance;

When to use the Tarquin Thartwhistle Jenkins bouncing around on each foot with quick jabs to the Jonnies nose whilst chanting "Take that blighter"

Or use the "Hong Kong Phooey Ninja" technique with the relevant meows, noises, and comic special effect "thwacks".

Or the full Millwall Fan "windmilling in" technique complete with requisite expletives!

Obviously all are valid, but knowing which to use and when is the key and that takes skill, experience and proper training!





I jest of course! I would never act like those in the clip (either party), for one (major one at that) I am too scared and would much rather run away

Did you ever do a WSR meeting Tony ?

Indeed I did. I found the "Millwall fan" technique of simply windmilling in the most useful during those LOL!

(Then ran off really quickly)

Or turn up with a teddy bear, That should scare off most grown ups.

A friend of mine used to find "You're quite sexy when you're angry" tended to halt them in their tracks.

Male to Male I'm not surprised!

Friend of mine whom I'd encouraged to go marshalling, at his first and last rally, ended up having to rugby tackle a drunk who wanted to walk down a live stage as a car was approaching.
