I remember when I had my first fight in the 4th year of Primary School, the first proper fight anyway (big ring of onlookers, bloody noses, swollen eyes)....we were taken in for the bollocking from the Headmaster, being a Catholic school he gave us a little speech about the importance of forgiveness etc. also. When he was done and we walked back into the classroom there was first whispers and then a nervous silence as the teacher told everyone to settle and ordered us to sit down....then, spontaneous applause and cheering The teacher was blowing his top, demanding silence but our classmates just kept on cheering I reckon, when the Roofer and Uz are welcomed back into the fold, we give them the same welcome!
