Were they being impeccably behaved, polite and just minding their own business…? Yeah... Sure...

I bet they weren’t drunk either… Makes sense, I’m more likely to keep throwing punches whilst being massively outnumbered by a hoard of bouncers when I’m sober too…

Appalling behaviour by the bouncers too but I wonder if the truth will actually be reported at any stage.

They should not only be sacked, but also have their S.I.A. badges taken off them.

They should not be able to do that work again.

Most door staff are really rude toward people now a days also think there can just hit anyway and get away with it it’s a joke the ones who are rude or nasty toward anyone should be kick off being a bouncer all together x

Bouncers are just licensed street brawlers.

I have seen many brawls in and out of pubs/clubs over the years, I've met some really good doorstaff and also the less desirable ones, I was in a club in Guildford called Cinderella's decades ago, when one big bloke had an argument and wrestled with two huge bouncers, one about 6ft6 and the other 7ft, they took him through the fire exit, and as the doors were still swinging open and shut, you could see them pummeling him in the back alley, another incident with another venue , involved a bouncer being done for manslaughter, he apparently threw a harmless drunk out the door, who in turn landed on the steps , breaking his neck killing him instantly.luckily I've always managed to drink sensibly and avoid getting on wrong side of them, although being a regular at one or two venues get to know them, nowadays I usually just go out with partner,and tend to look after her,as I know my limits, and tend to go out where she lives, she knows lots of people including one or two of the local female bouncers etc.

I see them in my gym and hear them talking I wouldn't mind but they're half the size of me yet talk so big lol

Sacked? I hope they face criminal charges. Bouncers are entitled to use reasonable force. Nothing I saw in that video was reasonable or lawful. That the crowd were cheering them on was disgraceful.

Nothing I saw in that video amounted to minimum force required, Im not even sure that any of it was an approved technique. Kidney punches when someone is on the floor? Punches to the head even when the individual was trying to get away? Dragging them back in for more beatings?

A high vis vest and a silly armband give no one the right to deal with a situation like that. They are not above the law.
