It appeared to me that the 'victim' was waiting outside in order to restart the fight, he came across as willing to fight as the others and his behaviour was just as shocking. It was also was not a four on one attack, I only ever saw two people hit chris and they did so individually and not as group attack as nouse implied. The other two friends attempted to diffuse the situation. I saw no kicks only punches thrown. Although I don't approve of their response i was also shocked by chris' 'banter' and found it deeply offensive as a welsh person.
