He was fighting for his life though, even though he's now apparently stable. Lad was attacked & beaten up by 6 lads, chased & then stabbed & it 'serves him reet' honestly that was a very insensitive comment to make IMO.

    The lad who got stabbed used to play in the same team as one of my lads. Always came across as a decent kid with a nice family behind him. Last I heard, his life was still in the balance.    To

That’s just fucking insane isn’t it. My lad is 13 and struggles using a knife when he’s eating his tea FFS.

You ever had a family member or friend stabbed? 
 

 

You're absolutely right. 

He's just being his usual contrary self. Lockdown stress.

Policing or the lack of it doesn't help, we have an invisible police force at the moment - a reactive police force not a proactive one. To be honest I don't know what's going on with local policing at the moment are they on furlough ?

We had machete wielding people, of the same description, in Breightmet a few weeks back and a lad got clobbered in the head with one.   It’s not going to get any better in this town I don’t think, not surprised so many folk I know have moved away really.   

Growing up in GL was a bit dicey but I don’t think knives were ever a problem. If there was a scrap it would be fists. 
 

Knives are for pussys

Nope, Osbourne cut them back as part Cameron's "Big Society" where we were expected to police ourselves.

I have lived in a large Lincolnshire village probably just under the size of Howfen for about 10 years and in my time I have seen the local bobby shop virtually closed and only manned by a Blunket Bobby who actually was quite good at getting things done but is no longer around as he now has to cover a zillion other villages. Then we had a Police volunteer who couldn't even do a dog walker whose mutt shat on the grass outside, she has now sadly passed away.

Dread to think what would happen if we had knife wielding third world war zone refugees move into the village, I only understand standing  large and snotting fuckers when required, like Rudy I don't get knives.

Which one went dead?

Absolute shithouses carrying knifes isn't a new thing I don't think. Over 20 years ago, 16 years old, I was walking up Sharples Park with 2 mates, would have been after midnight, when 2 lads appeared behind us following us. One of them scraping a fuckin massive machete along the wall to intimidate us, and by fuck did it work. After telling us turn around and waving it about at us, they just wanted to take any cash we had. They were shit out of luck as being 16 we'd spent what little we had on weed and cider but it is the closest I've ever come to shitting myself with fear, properly shaking I was. 

Absolute bastards folk who carry knifes. 

Jumping someone is a shitbag thing to do

fair fights and the odd bit of patio furniture is the way

Just a bit of banter that

If everyone had to carry a plastic chair around at all times there'd be a lot less violence in the world.

Could be a whole new political movement that.

47 years ago a Bolton fan took a knife to Bloomfield Road, so it's nothing new, same as other crimes we hear more now because of social media

Not the first time I’ve heard about gangs of Somalian teenagers mugging teens for phones and cash in Bolton.

He shouldn’t have been fucking around in WH town centre during a lockdown. Serves him reet.

You’re not gonna stabbed in your bedroom playing fifa.

Totally out of order.

The lad , had been at home , he and his mate were heading to the chippy.

Approached by Somalian's finest and told to hand over phones , cash and trainers.

Both lads attempt to leg it , unfortunately the pack of rats manage to grab one and he gets stabbed in a main artery.  The lad was resuscitated  . Very very lucky to be alive. 

Horwich , you are totally out of fuckin order.

Tonge Moor Slashers need dust off their swiss army knives and exert some vigilante justice.
