pretty damn good!
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.

Check the Harlow blockbusters. Near enough every copy of this (and there's a lot) are always out.

It's a good representation of Chav culture, they'll probably show it in schools and on documentaries in like 25 years

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. :)

ah, i thought that too until i thought about it.
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.
