I agree with you that violence isn't justified and I think they were definitely at the limit with those kicks. But there was a sense of injustice and righty or wrongly they wanted a bit of retribution.

I think anything beyond that would have been a bit much but they weren't trying to seriously injure him.
This is kinda my point, maybe it’s because I went to St.Illtyd’s in the 70’s, but to me, those tackles, whilst robust, don’t constitute physical assault or battery.
Hiding in the car park and beating the shit out of him would’ve been.
Even the kick in the bollocks was deemed a yellow by the ref.
