For being a boisterous drama about Football Hooligans, it's probably surprising to some that there are genuinely some funny moments.


  • Billy and Harris are talking about their week. When Billy talks about driving, this happens:
    Harris: What you driving for? You're on a ban, you lunatic.
    Billy: Ban? What am I gonna do, walk?
  • Bill and Albert are helped out of the taxi. The driver insists that they don't have to pay, despite Albert wanting to pay. After the driver leaves, Albert stands up and marches towards the pub.
  • Tom's going-away present for his grandfather is a spliff.
  • How about the scene when Tommy and Rod take girls back to their places and fall asleep before coitus has began?
  • When talking about the FA Cup draw, Raff says this:
    Raff: Oi, Zeb, try and make sure we've got a decent house to rob this time, will ya? I don't wanna watch the draw on some piece of shit.
  • Tommy's Imagine Spot in the court room; mainly because the image of an uptight judge losing his shit is just too funny:
    Judge: What's wrong with you, Bright? You're 40 years old and still you offend persistently. I see children in this court with more common sense than you.
    Billy: What d'you say!?
    Judge: Don't you dare answer me with that insolent tongue of yours, you fat fucking slob!
  • This:
    Fred: Don't get lemon, Bill. It don't suit you.
    Billy: Spell it, you cunt!
    Fred: C, U, N, T — "cunt".
    Billy: I meant "lemon", soppy bollocks!
    • And this:
      Fred: Well, how's it feel doing business with a Turk, when you're supposed to be right-wing? Scooby-Doo's less confused than you, you prick!
    • And finally, Billy and Fred's wrestle on the field in front of their sons and the entire Millwall and Chelsea youth teams. Even the ref acts like he doesn't know them.
      Referee: [blows whistle] Fuck this! (picks up the ball and leads the two teams of the pitch) If they can't be grown up, let's go!
  • When Rod meets the parents of his girlfriend, he snorts some cocaine in the bathroom and sits back down in his seat.
    Rod: That espresso's really kicked in.
    Tamara: Darling, you don't drink espresso.
    (Rod stares at her, dazed)
