"Stand lads, stand!"

[Shaggy]

I can't bear Danny Dyer. "Awight brav! Awight bravva!"

[Joey Jones]

I refuse to watch it based on the diabolical trailers I saw.

'ID' wasn't bad though. Not great, but it wasn't bad.

ID is a good film IMO - ‘I ****ing love you Gumbo’

I can't bear Danny Dyer. "Awight brav! Awight bravva!"

He's a over exaggerated, typical cockney blagger...

It pays the bills for the lad and he's ended up staring in some half-decent films. Fair play to him.

I thought he was alright in 'Human traffic' and his new film...whatsitcalled...it supposed to be ok.

[Maestro]

If you take Danny Dyer with a huge pinch of salt, 'football factory' is worth a watch too.

I've just finished watching it this very minute. It's ok.
Some funny bits. My missus couldn't understand two words.

[ronan]

I'll never forget one toothless animal shouting that at me as I, er, retreated from some Forest fans years ago. I went to "have a look" and make a few hand gestures, and it kicked right off. They came steaming in and I thought "right, I think it's time to leave " and this bloke screamed "STAND, LADS, STAAAAAAAAAND!". I thought "nah", backed away pretty sharpish and then saw the "stand!" fella get engulfed in a hail of fists and boots. All that was lacking was the cloud of dust.

poor stand man, at least he had already lost his teeth

Forest fans used to be right nutters. Sadly, I'm related to quite a few of them.

The 'naughty forties'

[Mumsafan]

My Dad was telling me that just like we have some young fans who keep trying to emulate idiots they see as heroes from years gone past, the Forest fans now have a few as well. It's ridiculous. It's as if they think they have missed out.


Thing is that at least 2 of my cousins were bad boys but now they'd go spare if one of their lads did the same. Typical men

Chelsea and Spurs fans dust up.

Anyone hear of this? Happened after the first FA cup match between the two. My mate told me about it Sunday night. May have something to do with the idiotic Spurs fans coming onto the pitch last night.

A lBloke who worked for me was in the Service crew in Leeds., he used to tell me he lead the line.....and then as they ran towards them he would retreat back

When hooligans were hooligans

[PTP]

I went to uni in Stoke and used to be player/manager of a footie team. Stoke fans are ****in mental, when they play at home it's impossible to get a pint, esp if they were playing someone like leeds/cardiff/port vale(big rivals) etc who would bring a crew. On most match days the majority of pubs would close and some even bordered their windows up - anyway one pub at the end of our road used to stay open, it just happened to be our local as well and we knew the landlord quite well as a few of the players from our footie team used to work there and we used to go back their after our matches.
On matchdays, from the moment the pub opened at 11:30am they had bouncers on the door and you could only get in with student ID, and throughout the day this big white mini bus with a load of fellas in would pull up outside and check if the pub was ok - it turned out that that the landlord's bro was one of the main players with the stoke firm, after a few months we got to recognise a few of them, they then started to come and watch us play, it was pretty nuts, a bunch of stoned students playing footie with 20 or so hardened hooligans on our line tearing into the other team who literally ****ting themselves, although it was funny to llok back on we were just as scared as some of them were ****ing nuts

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

A mate of a mate of mine was in the crowd scenes in I.D. Him and a load of mates from Durham, some of which are now major players in the white power skinhead scene drove down especially to take part. He said the coppers were just actors, but once filming started, everyone gave them a good hiding, because most of the crowd were real hooligans/scrappers. The director kept getting pissed off since too many 'coppers' were getting taken to casualty. After finding this out I enjoyed watching the film even more, which just eclipses The Firm in my estimation.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

Also a mate whose brother was one of the Upper Bullens top boys for the bitters told me some good tales about away matches and rival firms. He also had a great story involving Purple Aki and someone selling The Bulldog outside WHSmith in the early 1980's.

Yeah I can vouch for Stoke fans being nutters. Was visiting a bird near Sheffield a while back and her sisters' bf took us all to see United play Stoke...not only was it amusing seeing those ***** Warnock and Pulis on the sidelines but all the fighting afterwards in every nearby car park...the guy said 'there's always trouble wherever Stoke go'
