This program is basically a load of exploitational toss, but I watched one last night about football hooligans in Croatia and Serbia that was actually quite interesting. Although peppered with Danny Dyer's slightly irritating cockney-isms (I'm on their bladdy manor - and right off mine knowarramean) it explored the relationship between the firms of Zagreb, Split and Belgrade, and the paramilitary groups that provided many of the fighters in the early stages of the Balkan wars. Put it this way, these people really are nutters.

Correct. The best firm I've ever seen was in a double page picture in a magazine emblazoned with the memorable header 'Get on your knees before the Serbs'. It was either Red Star or Partizan, can't remember, but they looked like they'd take some shifting. And you wouldn't want to be the gadgey caught at the back - the one thing I remember from the article is that one lot kidnapped a member of the other, and held him for a few days during which he was subject to repeated 'assaults' with a stick. And I don't he was mean beaten. Although I'm sure there was plenty of that going on too.

That said, the Poles would make short work of them apparently.
I've not been watching this series as I can't abide Dyer; tell me, has he ever witnessed an 'off' yet - or does he still prattle on about the imminence of one, intercut with 80s footage of said events, only for it inevitably to be the case that such a stramash is narrowly avoided by dint of Danny being at least 15 years too late.
