Green Street Hooligans

[Red Jersey]

Total BS or somewhat legit? I want to know about the "firms" and all. I am a Yank and I was actually accepted into Harvard, but i was seriously a history major at the Naval Academy(those that saw the movie know what i mean). In the replys, please explain the whole Millwall thing.

Virtually the entirity of the Milwall fan base are football hooligans, probably because it's preferable to actually having to watch Milwall.

 

There was basically a culture in English football in the 70s and early 80s when a limited number of rival groups of supporters, who all seemed to know each other because they'd join forces at England games, would arrange to meet before a game to fight. Why? Who knows - probably because they enjoyed it. It probably still goes on, but on a much smaller and discrete scale. Except at Milwall, where a large number seem unable to let go of the

past.

 

However, if you really want to discover football hooliganism at it's finest, research continental Europe, particularly Italy, where large scale disorder is still prevelant.

having a geordie putting on a shocking east end accent destroyed the film. Green Street is an awful film. Watch ID and Cass as examples of the genre but only those who have experienced it will really be able to tell a tale

FRODO THE HOOLIGAN

[Frodo]

I am not a hooligan. I am a small hobbit

[Fink]

It still happens in Sheffield. Then again, Sheffield is still stuck in the 70's and 80's.

[kingkenny78]

That is one god-awful film.

 

Apart from having a hobbit for top boy, it's director was female and german. Kinda fucked it's chances early doors in the credibility stakes eh?

 

Most of the books on this subject are usually a load of old shite an all. Full of self-aggrandisement and fantasy in a cash-money quest to keep their authors in horrible identikit hoolie apparel.

 

If you want a decent book that gives a look from a merseyside/north west perspective read ' boys from the mersey' by Nicky Alltt or ' casuals ' by Phil Thornton. The latter has a sizeable input from Peter Hooton and both are mostly about the clothes, the music and the match.

It has been happening at Notts County at least 5 or 6 times this year so far. Fucking pointless and it happened last saturday against Chester. Why the fuck would you go to a match to fight though? I just think it's pathetic and it pisses me off when I see pathetic, chavvy 16 year olds putting on cockney accents 'acting the big man'

[L.F.C]

Still happens but obviously not as much nowadays because of CCTV, banning orders and prison sentences.

What about pathetic, whiney 16-year-old Scousers with their hands cradling their testicles and "acting the big man"? They sure piss me off.

 

This was a BAD film. Although it was in one way popular, it still made a fair share of money and probably had a hand in perpetuating the image of British fans as hooligans.

 

Automatic fail.

[Josef Svejk]

Terrible film.

 

But there's worse:

[Joe Le Taxi]

We get that in Nottingham as well.

[Hooch]

Speaking of hooligans and that, did anything happen when Marine played FC United last week?

I heard it was going to go off big time.

[hamstrung]

The Firm, with Gary Oldman is a decent film. It was years ago I read it, but I think Football Factory was good too, although I imagine the film is turd.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Rise of the Footsolider and Cass are good. A new film called Away Days I think has just came out.

[Xherdan]

I watched Green Street 2 last Friday night. A total pile of dog shit. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

[Bella Emberg]

Anyone associated hooliganism are fuckin thick inbred wankers with no brain cells.

 

And that fuckwit wideboy Danny Dyer is even worse trying to talk up Hooligans as some sort of heroes on that shite programme on Bravo....

[kingkenny78]

The Firm, with Gary Oldman is a decent film. It was years ago I read it, but I think Football Factory was good too, although I imagine the film is turd.

Right on both counts.

 

The Firm was indeed an excellent film in it's day. Gary Oldman's performance was amazing.

'so you want to go to europe do you dominic?'

 

The football factory movie was total fuckin cack.

 

Danny 'i'm so aht me manor' Dyer should've maybe watched a bit of Mr Oldman before filming started. See how it's done.

Some clubs have their own following of twats who like fighting. It tends to be worse in the south - and always has been - contrary to what the media would have people believe. West Ham's "inter city firm" was widely regarded as the worst of the lot. One of them jumped my uncle outside Anfield back in the 70s, but my uncle twatted him to the ground and kept on kicking him until he started crying, at which point his West Ham mates started laughing at him. It's one of my favourite family stories.

Danny Dyer is a comic genius

[Guest Bandulu]

What about pathetic, whiney 16-year-old Scousers with their hands cradling their testicles and "acting the big man"? They sure piss me off.

 

Why is there a film about them that's supposed to represent hooligan culture?

"Where are you going?"

 

"To make Bandulu glow in the dark!"

 

"Out-standing!"

[redfromtubebar]

That film looks fucking horrendously bad.
