About as far from the truth as Star Wars is from the NASA space program.

I have read some of the other comments and have no desire to repeat them. So here is what I have to say about this movie. I am from England and this movie romanticizes and some how tries to take a noble turn on people who are mindless morons with a bent for violence hiding in mobs to achieve their agenda - which is destruction simply for the sake of it. There is no one blood , there is no honour and there is nothing nice , decent or good about the football hooligan. NOTHING. So , if this movie makes you feel good in any way. Realise it is a work of absolute fiction with no basis in truth other than the existence of the blood , the bashing , the crunching of teeth and bones , the desire to smash someone in the face , to kick his effing head in and watch him puke on his own body fluids. That is the ONLY thing hooliganism is about. There is no code of ethics. None at all. As far as I am concerned this is a movie made for Americans and is a gross miss portrayal of the reality of Hooliganism. Let me tell you the truth. There are nearly 60 million people in GB squished into a land mass the size of one of the US's smaller states. The Church , the Upper class and the Crown own ALL of the Land in GB. The people , the masses are relegated to the cities and it is truly very difficult for anyone in England to own a decent sized chunk of land anywhere. The result ?. Rats turning on one another like rabid scum and using football matches as one of the outlets for their desire for violence. In reality this is no different than the inner city violence erupting in US cities for exactly the same reasons. Too many people in too small a space. That is the reality of hooliganism. Green or otherwise.
