lol, the opening scene of Green Street has the 'leader' of the Sp**s firm having his face thrown through a phonebox.

Heh, I just wanted to open up a topic, and then I saw an existing one. Seen the film the other day, and it's good. Damn good. I mean, people might not like the violence, but it's football hooliganism. Can't really portrait that with people drinking tea or chatting in their flats.
Anyway, except for Frodo playing the hooligan, rest of it seems pretty realistic, and the plot is interesting. Of course, I would like it more if it was about Arsenal, but I don't generally have anything against West Ham, so it was ok. Anyway, I thought that West Ham crew was ICF- Inter City Firm, and not these GSE people? Is this for real, or made up, like in the ID movie?

Saw it again. Some of its cringeworthy!
But I like seeing people gettting the **** kicked out of them every now and then.
Out of five I would probs give it a 3.5.

Seriously. I had to watch them both with the subtitles on. I kept having to rewind at the end of each sentence.
green street was good but football factory is better. The cockney accents in green street are awful!!!

What a load of **** Green Street is. "Stand your ground and fight"...what a mug. Eliah is well out of place.
Football Factory pisses all over it IMO.

i love both football factory and green street they're both gr8
A bit unexpected for me to see so much support for these films here. A local friend (over here in the mid-usa) is a big time Man U fan and spend a lot of time at the 'Red Cafe' or something like that. Apparently its a different story over there. It got a lot of negative feedback, but for different reasons. A good share of the Red Cafe members seem very adamant in their disapproval of hooliganism; dismissing these films without hesitation.
I'm curious then as to why the different tone here. Is hooliganism a non-issue for the majority of members on this board? Are most of the posters in this thread from the States? Or is it just a coincidence that a Green Street thread found so much opposition?
And for the record, I myself am a fan of Green Street Hooligans because it isn't an issue in the States. I'll have to check out Football Factory. I've heard of it, but never had an opportunity to watch it.
