Dick van Dyke, you are FORGIVEN !

Rating: 2/10 (10 September 2005)

I was quite looking forward to this film but frankly it all came crashing down the moment the 'GSE Top Boy' opened his boat to provide simply the worst Cockney accent impersonation I have ever heard. Dick van Dyke, you are forgiven.
Laughable 'inconsistencies throughout the film were many, including The 'United' Firm standing outside a station (which looked naff all like Piccadilly) cheering the name of their team while they waited for the other firm to arrive from London. As bloody if ... and, '10 Years ago' The 'Major' and his firm were having a row with Millwall. Was it ever the fashion to wear ridiculous Bon Jovi wigs in the process? because perhaps the writers meant 30 YEARS!!! ...
The Football Factory KIND of got it right, this one is just a parody of the subject matter, and is frankly awful, primarily spoiled by idiot casting of a Geordie actor who really should not have got past the first audition.
PS Did anyone see the (extremely brief) cameo by Cass Pennant?
