He said at the start that the bloke shit talked him when he walked past and that's what provoked it. If you are a high profile person who has made a career out of shit talking people in the media, best not to go out drinking if you can't handle the same thing.

Who goes out drinking and fighting at age 54 anyway? Just stay home and have a beer like the rest of us old farts.

Who goes out drinking and fighting at age 54 anyway? Just stay home and have a beer like the rest of us old farts.

Plenty of 50+ guys still go out on the piss Friday and Saturday nights, for some its the highlight of the week.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Players get provoked quite a bit and almost always stay composed.

James Graham spoke at length about it a few years ago.

I think Kenty needs some mental health or psychological support.

We’ve all been out with hotheads, the drink changes them and it gets lame.

I’m not saying he was under the influence, I don’t know but he sure looked angry.

I work with some blokes that are around that age but can really put on a great party and enjoy themselves. Was at one of them last night. Live music, dancing, beers, footy on tv and a nice bbq. And everyone leaves with a smile on their face. These guys aren’t f**ks like Kent so everyone enjoys being around them.

There seems to be this odd undercurrent here that if you’ve had a few and someone says something mean to you it’s a green light to punch on regardless of the consequences

if Kent walks away here like everyone was telling him to he keeps his job, his dignity etc and this is just a story of some dickhead having a go on a night out

If you are a high-profile person, you simply need to think about where you go, who you hang around with and how you handle alcohol in public. It is pretty much essential for keeping your job.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

He shouldn’t make a statement at this point.

I guess he’d know that already.

Even if none of the witnesses want to spear him, the video is out there.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

How does he get over the footage @Wizardman?

I don’t know!

I've never had a night out fight in my life. But my goodness, there have been plenty of occasions where if I said or did something stupid, it could have well and truly led to one. All he had to do was deescalate and move away.

I don’t know!

Im tipping he is gone from tv media from here....at least.

Sure if you can do it without getting into trouble, all well and good. But if you’re still doing it and getting into stinks in your 50s, clearly the couch is a better option.

 

[Generalzod]

What might do him in is that went back for a confrontation, then the awful lunge.

Hard to raise self defence.

Can’t raise provocation as a defence.

Can’t believe how dumb he is tbh. He’s a mug. See how he lost his shit? Loose cannon.

Hopefully his job is still open at the funeral home.

How ironic that he was on the show last week complaining about an altercation 2 players had walking back in their sheds...

I know there’s been a fight involving an unpopular character, but we still need to ask the important questions around welfare- is the tree ok?

But but some random he doesn’t know said something mean to him ….

In the end there is no advantage if I’m Kent in engaging in a street fight particularly when everyone has cameras

oh shit, here we go again

 

[edabomb]

Kenty was so blind drunk he went to work the body in a street fight. Was he planning to grind Tatey down over 15 rounds of sustained bodywork?

I didn't pick Danny Levi lasting longer as a starting hooker in 2024 than Kenty as host of 360.
