I didn't know this was being made into a film?
His real name is Carole - you wouldn't call him that to his face though!

Check SKYSPORTS Al.There is a trailer and a link to the FILM site with a bit of explanation.I KNOW what you mean though.
Read about the premier showing in one of the papers..All his footy star and sleb mates invited,never turned up,probably wanting to distance themselves from this..
All but Frank Bruno who was once saved from some knife wielding thugs by Cass,so he owed him one you'd think..
Cameron Diaz's boyfriend was there,but no Barak Obama even tho he was invited and calls himself a West Ham fan.Tsk

Probably missed the train.......

What's on the soundtrack? Only thing I remember is Theme From (S'Express) outside a club. Mostly generic geetar shit otherwise. Missed an opportunity with the soundtrack, could've had decent 'lad' tracks from the 70's, 80's and 90's!
Film is basically, quite shit. Gem wanted to see it cos her workmate and his son were both in fight scenes. Er, we didn't spot either of them!
If you've seen one of these films, you've seen 'em all. Was a bit sad when his Mum passed on though. Loved his Mum, did big old Cass.
Watch out for Bruno in this. He looks dead 'twitchy'. And pretty facking tiny compared to the actor playing Cass and the real Cass!!
Tamer Hassan's in this as well. He's in all these movies, ain't he?
Saw this over the weekend. Actually wasn't as bad as I feared it might be.
None of the other main ICF faces are mentioned. No Swallow, Animal or Gardner. Started off with a brawl with Wolves from '72 which I thought might mention Ted Bunter but no. Some bloke called Steve Logan was their top boy at the time.....never heard of him.
Had to laugh at the casting for Arsenal's firm...Paul Kaye, WTF??. Dennis fucking Pennis?!!. Denton must be spinning in his grave!.
Was disappointed with the OST, s Al says. Nothing really stand out though there were a couple of good tracks that I've forgotton!
Worth a little look if you're into this genre.
I saw that Green Street the other night.
If this film is any worse than this I'll be very surprised indeed.
Green Street is utter shit.
Same voice coach as Dick van Dyke used for Mary Poppins

Dick Van Dyke had an excuse though. He was a Yank.
Charlie Hunnam is English. Well, a Norverner. Shows you how daft you Norvern boys sound when you tried to sound 'kultured' 
Gertcha. Rabbit rabbit.

Well, that was the initial plan - the songs they were trying to get hold of would have made a good soundtrack... Ah well... 
strange i thought, went t see it today at the arty farty cinema up ere' Wierd why they never mentioned particular 'names' from the mid 70's when we all know em' To be honest that whole anti-Thatcher message which underpinned the flick was bollocks & got a bit tedious i thought, blame her for all our ills eh like so many daft cunts up norf do (daft fookers). Dont know why they have to alter/change endings with these sort of films, totally distorts the truth. Still,some nice Diadora Gold's on view & original Lyle n Scott
Saw it last night. The cinema was nearly empty, shame as that was the only night it's being shown up here. I though it was the best film of the genre I've seen. My date thought it went on about half an hour after it should have ended and wanted more trainers.

She wanted more trainers in the film? Or just in general? She wanted to go shopping?
Oh and Roy's favourite bit was seeing Frank McVennie bottling someone in a Newcastle working men's club.

Ah, that was McAvennie?
(You sure it wasn't Chris Quentin?)
Gilly, the big bald lad who wrote the Wolves book, was in the Wolves fight right at the beginning.
Apparently Gemma's workmate's son (who we were s'posed to be looking for the entire film) was the West Ham fan laid facedown during that first scene getting worked over on the floor. You never even got to see his face!
Have you seen Cass's website? It's got a few interviews with those norty boys he played out with when he was younger and some of the actors and the director (who's from Aberdeen, don't you know).
See what you mean about Lenny Henry. Couldn't stop laughing for the first bit of the film. Buno's cameo was great as well. 'Stand there and look big, Frank. That's the way.'
What's the story about him and Cass then?

It's a years old story. Summat about big Frank out jogging one morning, training for his boxing, and he got surrounded by a load of skins or summat. And Cass came to his rescue!
Something like that anyways. Imagine trying to pick on Frank Bruno at his peak! Ouch!

Er, or rather, you haven't.

well i wouldnt say that at all nuts. as ive said chelsea,but also west ham,millwall and for certain SPURS were all a nightmare
I think Denton will have much better things to spin in his grave about - this film not being one of them.
Don't know any football circles where this film is causing a stir at all - let alone a conversation.
Only saw The Football Factory so I could quite literally dribble over Danny Dyer.
I have just finished reading The Perry Boys - Ian Hough. A book given to me last year but only just got round to reading.
First book of this kind that I have ever read that addresses the football violence and the trends that came with it. About the North-West football culture from the late 70s pretty much up to current times. Focusing on the football casuals, it looks deeply at the significance of style in the form of clothing, hair, music, drugs and the rave scene, as well as football violence and how it all it all became a way of life! Interesting reading how extacy contributed in pretty much killing off football violence in the late 80s.
Brilliant humour, and told with a real well balanced open honesty, one i feel that is defo not told through rose tinted glassed, which for me makes it refereshing and different - even if it does put the Mancs at the front of the trend setting that swept through football and pretty much laid it out for generations to follow!
Even if you're not a scouse or a manc - any fotball fan who knows their football off the pitch as well as on, and worth their salt, will relate to this book. Knocks the shit out of any of these football violence films that keep getting churned out!
Fasinating read.
