Title: Manslaughter United
Post by: Doore on Friday, March 19, 2010, 23:58:20
Just finished this, very interesting book about a prison football team, consisting of men on life sentences, mostly for murder.  Author is Chris Hulme.  Definitely worth a read.

That is all.

Nah, they lost out in the end due to some criminal defending.

Not exactly, its a non-fiction account of life with a prison football team.  Not sure Mean Machine was quite the same.

I wasn't exactly being serious, especially considering Mean Machine was a shit remake of The Longest Yard

I may have missed the tongue-in-cheek nature of your post.  Either that or I'm just a bit of a twat.  You decide...

I'm sitting on the fence on this one, and any comments will be guarded.
