ASH17LCFC Posted 26 February 2009 Posted 26 February 2009 This could and should be the best football movie of all time, the book is probally the best football novel ever made. I hope Giles and Lorimer get invited to the opening. Just a shame Clough and Taylor aren't alive for this. Trailer

General Smuts Posted 26 February 2009 Posted 26 February 2009 Not yet convinced by David Frost playing Cloughie.
Shrenchel Posted 26 February 2009 Posted 26 February 2009 The book was brilliant. I'm not too sure the film will live up to it, but if you put it out of your mind and try and enjoy it as something separate it should be alright. Bit like the football factory.
Uncle Monty Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Urg really not sure whether i could sit through a film with derby and forest in it.
Finnegan Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Urg really not sure whether i could sit through a film with derby and forest in it. He hadn't gone to Forest at that point and he'd just dropped Derby in the shit after winning the league. Stop being a nob.
Shrenchel Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Urg really not sure whether i could sit through a film with derby and forest in it. Yeah definitely mate, really sensible attitude, I can't watch films with topics I don't like in them either. Just watched a time to kill but it's alright because I absolutely adore racism and little girls being raped.
Finnegan Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 I absolutely adore racism and little girls being raped. So fucking tempted to make that a sig.
MC Prussian Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 So fooking tempted to make that a sig. Behave. Or I'll quote you "I'd do anything for a sig", Meat Loaf-style.
Alexikokopops Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 So fucking tempted to make that a sig. I couldn't resist...

Ultra Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 If you've seen the book, you'll know why. It depicts Clough as an insecure, bung-taking alcoholic, rather than following the myth of sainthood which has arisen since his death. The fact that Clough was a major influence on MON means that he is relevant to us as well as to the fans of the clubs he played for and managed. And there are at least THREE occasions where he should have been offered the England job.
Samilktray Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Looks decent. Watchmen will still be the film I go see in March though Im afraid.

I have read it and I personally don't find the character a slur on Clough really. That was just him and the ilk of how football operated at the time.
Tommeh Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 The book's fantastic, read it over the holiday just gone just hope the film does it Justice.
Shrenchel Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 I couldn't resist... Cheers mate. There goes my chances of infiltrating Ultra's inner circle.
Fosse Boy Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Still can't believe I haven't read the novel yet, bought it for my dad for his birthday with the intention of nicking it after he'd finished it. Sadly he's a slow reader... On the subject of Cloughie, anyone read Provided you don't kiss me? Excellent read.
Uncle Monty Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Yeah definitely mate, really sensible attitude, I can't watch films with topics I don't like in them either. Just watched a time to kill but it's alright because I absolutely adore racism and little girls being raped. Fu cking duuuuhhh. Let me introduce you to something called sarcasm. Now i know it might be a hard thing for you to fathom because you're probably too busy raping little girls.
Finnegan Posted 27 February 2009 Posted 27 February 2009 Cheers mate. There goes my chances of infiltrating Ultra's inner circle. You're joking? It's probably done it wonders. ... wait... what? We don't make jokes like that anymore? D'awwww.
Maybes Posted 26 March 2009 Posted 26 March 2009 Anyone going to see this? Think I may go tomorrow evening.
Uncle Albert Posted 26 March 2009 Posted 26 March 2009 I am considering it, think I might read the book first before I watch it. Anyone watch the programme about Brian Clough last night on ITV1? Was pretty good actually.
Edmund Posted 26 March 2009 Posted 26 March 2009 I am considering it, think I might read the book first before I watch it.Anyone watch the programme about Brian Clough last night on ITV1? Was pretty good actually. Got it on the sky + box will watch it later. Will probably just wait for the film to come out tbh.

Uncle Albert Posted 26 March 2009 Posted 26 March 2009 Wasn't last night was it?! Cock. Will it be repeated somewhere? Yea man, was on for over an hour. Gripping Television. Some of his quotes were really good and his banter with Don Revie on some news show was the highlight of the programme for me. It might be on the ITV's Iplayer thing pal.
