Personally, I think it's high time we all moved on.I know what it was like back in the day. I had some glorified reads as well in later years.But, especially after last years schmozzle, it's time to let it and them go.We might not have too much to celebrate as a club, but having one of the hardest or worst hooligan element as part of our history is hardly something to keep going on about.Let it go.And that's from someone who has an old firm as his username!.Posts: 1401 Joined: Fri Jul 11, 2003 2:40 pm Location: Malcontented keyboard warrior.

'At least we care about the club', on the pitch after the 3-0 hammering at Birmingham in the cup?
1984 IIRC after the players had put up a particularly woeful performance.Some things never change eh?Posts: 3215 Joined: Tue Apr 04, 2006 12:05 pm Location: Folkestone, Kent.

But I find the hero worshipping, by other middle aged men, of blokes who used to fight a lot when they were young a bit odd.Films are hardly ever, if never, as good as the book, are they Coops.Looking back at their violent hobby, at best it was all a bit silly, at worst it was.Posts: 7027 Joined: Mon Apr 03, 2017 3:36 pm Location: We'll win the next 35 games. Films are hardly ever, if never, as good as the book, are they Coops.A book is anything up 600 pages, a standard film script is 150 pages long as that will give you approx 100 mins running time. Cass's book is 350 pages long, that's approx 100,000 words while a 150 page script is going to be less than 20,000 words, something has to give.In adapting a book for the screen your always going to have to go for major surgery, its unavoidable. Its partly why film versions, even great ones, lack something the book has.Posts: 4111 Joined: Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:40 pm.
