Not Welsh's finest contribution - a big own-goal
Football rarely (if ever) tranfers well onto the big screen, and this is the perfect example of that.
Irvine Welsh reputedly assisted with the writing, but it's not his finest hour that's for sure.
There's little point summarising the plot, it's just not worth it. Football team, lads, shenanigans, save the club from ABC&D etc. Girls, romances, pals helping each other out, unconvincing gangsters and you get the idea.
The biggest mystery is how this ever even won a £3m budget to even get made! How did it even get distributed? It's so poor and would have been better off having been buried away like other non-event catastrophes.
Just give it a miss.
