Do they still have them?

When I was young there would be a a massive crowd gather round and everyone would shout "Scrap, scrap scrap". Cue everyone in the yard/playground rushing to the mob of people.

Occasionally a group would just shout "Scrap scrap scrap" when nothing was going on just to get a massive crowd to gather.

I didn't really get into fights, I was a weed really.
 
Fight Fight Fight when i was at school not long ago.

Never got into any either, although almost punched a guy in the face, pulled out of it at the last second and ended up sort of pushing him on the shoulder and looked like a bit of a twat.
 
'On the park. 4 O'clock' was the usual response to some handbags being thrown in the playground. It went on for years and nothing ever happened, until some fateful day when the two 'hardest lads' in the school decided to go head to head. On the park, as usual, but this time it was different. It was going to happen.

At 4 O'clock there must have been a couple of hundred boys gathered in a big group in the middle of the park, the combatants in the centre literally did'nt have enough space to swing the proverbial cat.

Excitement was at fever pitch. Blazers and ties were removed, and the big fight began.

Only it did'nt. Just as the first punches were being thrown, an old lady about 5 feet tall waded through the crowd demanding to know what stupidity was going on, and sent us all home!

This happened about 1971 or '72.

The Big Fight, scuppered by an old lady. Oh well.

Usually, fights in the playground were a couple of punches, someone bottled it, and it was over.

Someone had a go at me in the bike shed once, I don't remember why, but I threw a few punches and he stopped when he realised blood was coming out of his nose. He stopped, I stopped, I got my bike out and went home.

The following morning, a teacher came up to me and asked me if we had a problem, they could set up a boxing ring and we could do it properly.

I said it was nothing, and I was'nt bothered about it.

No one was tooled up in those days, and gangs did'nt exist. I had a few fights at school, it was impossible to avoid. You fought your corner, and when it was over, you became the best of mates or you completely ignored each other.
 
These days one of em will just text their mates who'll turn up after school with hoods up and pants hangin down their arse, mutterin summat weird and jump the other guy.

Or the most likely thing is they come on a forum like this and play keyboard warriors in off topic..!
 
it was normally the 'fight, fight, fight' chants!

anyone ever have it where someone was looking for someone around the school yard before the fight? one person followed them, then a few more would, then everyone joins on and it turns into about 100 people following on behind? lol
 
It was the gathering in a circle egging it on with fight fight fight.Sometimes a teacher would struggle through the crowd and there would be nobody and just two daft objects on the floor and no fight.
I moved to a new area and school for my final year and in my first week upset who I found out later was the school nutter, when having the arguement I was thinking a scrap would start any moment as it should have but no he pointed said after school and walked off.
Walking out of school I felt like the pied piper.I turned out of the school gates and there he was waiting.Wasn't at all ready for what he then did and took me by surprise,he took his shoes off ????.After leading up to end of school and everyone saying he was nuts and hard as,I honestly thought he was some kind of karate barefoot ninja but no he was just nuts,he came at me and started trying to hit me with his fuckin shoes.
 
got in a fight a few years back in year 11 with a kid I was ok mates with, got wound after his taunting and then the adrenaline started, we threw a couple of punches then I kicked him in the balls and tackled him to the floor and started gouging his eye unitil it started to bleed underneath , I then let go and he got up and shook my hand, was werid cos I was so angry, and yeah there was the usal crowd of people.
 
Oh....the joy of being in the playground when suddenly there'd be a surge of people running somewhere, you'd follow them, gathering more bodies as you went along shout "fffiiiiggggh", people running out of classrooms, toilets, even leaving their dinner at the table to go watch.

Then you get there, a huge group of people watching a scrap, only for a few teachers to suddenly arrive, fight throught he masses of people to stop it.

I also remember school fights happening. For some reason, our school (St Anne's) always fought Priestnall. Evening though they were about three miles apart.

The best fight I ever saw at school was actually a cat fight between two absolute munters who had been sleeping with the same lad (who was also weird). It was hilarious because of the insults being thrown about plus the running commentary my mate was giving as it all occurred.

I saw a few at school involving my mates but none were great and didn't last too long as the teachers were on top of you in no time. In year 11 my best mate was pissed off about a lad in the other half of the year cause the previous day at football the other lad had headbutted my mate. Me and a few others were encouraging him to just go and lamp him and he did! He broke his nos ein two places and got suspended. Needless to say his mum wasn't happy with us because he said it was our fault!

Never got into a fight myself at school, the only one I had was at University of all places. I came out the toilets and these two lads were giving my mate grief so I decided I'd try and humour them by taking the piss out of them and see how they reacted. They didn't react well and one started laying into me but I didn't fight back and took all he had (the other lad went for my mate and came out worse) until a group formed and were encouraging me to just hit him back. He was still having a go and then he ripped my t-shirt and I flipped and knocked him out. I bricked it at first until he came round a few seconds later and tried getting up. he had a nice cut under his eye. An hour alter he came over confronting me again and said I was lucky and we should finish it off. His mate dragged him away though.

Do you come from Rossendale by any chance?
 
Being tall and skinny, i was a target for all the little insecure wankers to have a go at, so they could prove themselves
Even now, i hate the cunts for it

I remember one day and a couple of girls from my class came up to me and said, "you're fighting pete Leonard tonight"
It was the first I'd heard about it and I'd had no problems with him
Outside the gates, he was waiting with his mates and tried to start a fight. A bit of pushing in my chest and I just carried on walking and went home
I sometimes wish I'd chinned him, but I'm pretty certain that would have opened me up to more aggro
I hated secondary school. There was a real bullying culture that started with the teachers and filtered down to the pupils
 
I remember a childhood friend running over to me one weekend and starting a fight. I remember asking him what he was doing and he just said 'you know what it's about'. To this day, I have absolutely no idea, and it is about 44 years ago. It was one of those times when I had absolutely no option but to defend myself.
