some quality turns of phrase and a nice, cliche-free, succinct ending.
kinda like "Love, Honour and Obey".. but based around football.
i also liked how you never actually SEE the football, it's just the excuse.
Speaks volumes

Yeah, very true. I just didn't give a damn about the characters enough to think about it to be honest. I just watched it, thought "that was utter crap" and didn't bother analysing it in any depth. It wasn't to my taste, anthough I've a mate who loves the movie. :)
the ending may be similar physically, but the irony of American history X was that the character had repented, but never got to find out what the non-nazi side of him was like, whereas The Football Factory simply had a thug killed. It was blatantly a response to the main characters moment of indecision and his "is it worth it?... course it is!" voiceover "thought", but i thought it was a nice twist to not have the main character experience an epihany and renounce it all and then to suffer no consequences, rather his mate gets killed.
