Ashley Posted 26 April 2009 Posted 26 April 2009 Based on the Book above. It's 1979 and, in Birkenhead, smack and Maggie Thatcher are still less of an issue than Lois jeans and Adidas Forest Hills trainers. For Paul Carty, 19, life revolves around The Pack, a violent mob which follows Tranmere Rovers around the northern wasteland - but is he getting bored with it all?
THEfox Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 saw this film the other day was the 2nd worst film seen all year (only redeemed by forest hills) Terrible acting and the worst scouse/wool accents ever heard. Check it out Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Shrenchel Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 I wish they'd fooking give up. No one has made a decent one since I.D. "Is he getting bored with it all?". Oh, what a fooking enigma.
Uncle Albert Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 I dont see the need to keep making films about Football Hooligan's - Football Factory was a brilliant film but everyone after that has been poor. Will probably go and watch this but I will be very surprised if it is Football Factory's league.

Will probably go and watch this but I will be very surprised if it is Football Factory's league. fook off it was. Everyone just nutted their Y-fronts over it because it was about hooligans. It was a masterpiece compared to Green Street but if that quality of acting and script had been in a film about anything else no one woulda said it was brilliant. The book was first class tho.
Finnegan Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 One film about Football Hooliganism can claim to be "warning of the dangers." When it comes to the fifty millionth it's clearly milking a trend and selling violence to impressionable young fans. And I guarantee a fair few of the people who sit around moaning about the stereotyping of football fans and the no-standing laws got a woody on to Football Factory, got a woody on to Green Street and will achieve at least a semi watching this before wondering where on earth all these all-fans-are-twats myths got perpetuated.
Shrenchel Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Anyone who bases their opinion of football fans on a couple of really shit and totally unbelievable films is clearly a disabled and if it's stopped them actually visiting a football ground then that's definitely a good thing.
Finnegan Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 I'm not sure if it's the films that are so telling or their popularity. I'm not saying this is a valid basis for judgement but you can surely understand that the successes of these films and the cult following they get can and likely will be used as justification by the misinformed to yet again turn their noses up at young football fans.

The misinformed? You talking about general moany bastards sitting around at home wanking off into their daily telegraph and whining about football fans being animals? Why does it matter? Let them, if it keeps them out of the game then it's only a good thing. If you're talking about the plod and the football authorities, the way they treat fans is about money, targets, control and the fact they're utter cretins. Not, that they think Elijah Wood is an actual representation of the modern football fan.
Finnegan Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Again, like I say, we're not necessarily talking about the films themselves but the way they're received by the younger generation.
Shrenchel Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 I don't see what difference it makes. Whose opinion are you so worried about?
purpleronnie Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 The Firm & I.D were the only decent ones, everything else has been terrible, why they keep bothering who knows.
Tevez Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Shame this is an english made film What's wrong with English made films? Slumdog Millionairre was English made and it became one of the greatest films in our time.
JakeShingler Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 What's wrong with English made films? Slumdog Millionairre was English made and it became one of the greatest films in our time. fooking shite. English Films are the best tho.
Uncle Albert Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 fooking shite.English Films are the best tho. Brilliant film. English films are brilliant, I know alot of people prefer the Hollywood ones but for me you cant wack The Business, This is England, Football Factory, Italian Job, The Great Escape, Escape to Victory, Essex Boys (I think), Cass and others.
Edmund Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Shame this is an english made film Love Honour and Obey and Scum.
Tevez Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 fooking shite.English Films are the best tho. The Oscars don't lie!
Shrenchel Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Brilliant film.

Mate do you watch all your films whilst off your nut on ketamine?! Cass is fooking awful.
Uncle Albert Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Mate do you watch all your films whilst off your nut on ketamine?! Cass is fooking awful. I thought it was a great film, nothing like the book about his life but still enjoyable. His book is still one of the best I have read, he says it how it really was not like alot of the 'Billy Bullshitters' who sell stories now. Great film about a top bloke I think.

Nah I loved the book just thought they cocked up the film a lot.
Uncle Albert Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Nah I loved the book just thought they cocked up the film a lot. Yea but alot of films are like that, to be fair if they put some of the stuff in from the book then I dont think it would of been allowed to have been made.
Finnegan Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 Cass would be fucking horrifying off your nut on ketamine.
Guest Bilo Posted 10 June 2009 Posted 10 June 2009 The only hoolie film I've ever been arsed about watching is the Football Factory. Green Street and Green Street 2 seemed like Hollywood abominations, and Cass never really registered on my radar.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 11 June 2009 Posted 11 June 2009 Is the book or any of Kevin Sampson's other books any good.
