Re: The Irvine Welsh mentions on "These colours don't run"

There's a big thread on the main board about this book. I'm not here to discuss it's merits. I'm not planning reading it. It strikes me as a "Bravo Two Zero" for the armchair casual or a typical real-life crime historian justifying a violence of which far too many books are written. But I have no experience of this. There's many sides to every story. I'm not judging.

I've read the amazon review and have noticed that Dykes paints Irvine Welsh as not a fighter. I'd really appreciate it if some-one could give me a run down on Dykes opinion of Welsh. In fact do any of you lot know Irvine? I'm intrigued.
i often used to wonder where Mr Welsh was coming from. Never once spotted him on "tour" with the crew (home or away). Yet his books relate to a lot of stuff to do with the crew. Maybe its just fictional?
