Well hand on heart this could be the worst film i have ever witnessed. Let's be straight here. 1 - I am an avid lover of football. 2 - I'm not prudish and a nor am i disgusted at a set to do on match day. Violence doesn't turn my stomach at all.

Yet this film is truly disgraceful, there are much 'worse' scenes than its predecessor but the plot & acting beggars belief. My missus loved the original to the point of watching it over and over again. I think she was as shocked as i was just how farcical this was. I had wondered how i'd missed this on the big screen, maybe it was DVD release only but only learnt of it yesterday so i hurriedly made my way to our nearest store with a little bit of excitement if i may say so. We did rather well to sit through this to its conclusion and if my Sky HD box wasn't faulty (to be serviced tomorrow am) it would have gone off at the most 25 minutes in. Save your money. Absolutely abysmal.

So to conclude a 3/10 is actually rather higher than it merits. I gave it a more credible rating due to some fair graphic fisticuffs etc. Otherwise a 1/10 would have more suitable.
