Oh isn't it hilarious?

Aren't you laughing?

The big burly Mitchell brothers both attacked by WOMEN, not men you understand, but those pathetic specimens WOMEN!!! chortle chortle, what cissies they truly are.

What these IDIOTIC scumsheets have failed to comprehend is

1) Grant and Phil are actually Ross and Steve, not professional hardmen, merely actors

2) Women are just as capable of throwing a punch as a man

3) That the pair should be COMMENDED rather than CONDEMNED for keeping their tempers in check and not striking back

4) People are laughing about it. Do you really think the people at home who have to put up with domestic abuse day in day out find this funny?


stupid stupid world!!!

Well done OP
I think if things were the other way around it wouldn't be quite so funny.
It has been known for men to suffer Domestic Violence, I can't see the funnny side

People have difference of opinions.
I'm sure if the press had handled it differently it wouldn't be such a joke.

What is disturbing is that hidden within the mockery is an assumption that they would be 'real men' if they were the ones doing the abuse.

I agree. I think some people on here are old enough to know better so comments about them not being hard men because they never hit their wives back are disgusting remarks.


If anything they are more men for controlling their tempers.

Amen! I respect this, I hope all goes better for them. With the right therapy (cognitive, imo), things can improve.

I have been disgusted by comments in the Media and on here. If it was a man hitting a woman there would be uproar. However as its two men who play 'Hardmen' who are the victims its suddenly funny.

Think about this. Remember Ross and Steve are real people with real lives, not tools for EE. This is not a light-hearted issue, it's heavy and real.

It is certainly terrible that they were both attacked on the same day. As far as I have read Steve FcFadden was simply attacked by his ex who has had a thing against him ever since the NotW article

However why would a well known journalist suddenly attack her husband? What would make her turn on her husband? And it is not that everyone is saying that they should hit back, but in Ross' case there is the possibility of at least trying to defend himself without hitting her back.

This is the Sun we're talking about - One of the most dishonest, nastiest and scummiest papers in the world. I would not wipe my arse with it. You're sadly mistaken if you think they have an unbiased approach.

Well we still don't even know if she did hit him.
