And Introducing... Ally McCoist
i was in this, as an extra at the crowd scenes at boghead (dumbarton's old ground).
stv showed this film a couple of years back and i tried to watch it, purely for ironic amusement. but couldnt get past the first 10 minutes, it is truly awful.

And Introducing... Ally McCoist
I cant believe theres anyone on here whos not seen this film!
Duvall's the stereotypical miserable auld canny Scots manager and very convincing to the untrained ear. McCoists....errrhhh......errrrrh....a flash, fancy dan Scots footballer, ala Charlie Nicholas, Maurice Johnson and errrh Ally McCoist.
He's actually good in it, convincing actually. I read somewhere he only agreed to take the part if his character was an ex Celtic player because he didnt want to be "typecast".
I wont spoiler it for you any further.
Its just occured to me that Ive only ever seen it when Ive come home pissed from the pub so ignore any "critical" comments above.

cheers, sweetie. 'fitba'? Michael Keaton?
DO fuck off. There is no such thing as a football film, ever... and someone's lasts moments on a cine- Super 8, dont count.
Football can only be filmed live.
(and yes, I am pissed off that I missed Robert Duvall in the shower... AGAIN)

And Introducing... Ally McCoist
I remember a Kilmarnock-Motherwell game( Rugby Park is used for location filming) in which Duvall appeared at half-time. He got involved in the half-time draw and then siad he hoped that "The Killies" pulled it back in the sceond half. Cue a chorus of unoriginal abuse for the follically challenged actor.
The film is beyond terrible. It's worth a look if you know your ageing Scottish footballers, though. Owen Coyle is McCoist's strike partner and a pre-Celtic fame Didier Agathe appears at some stage. There's even a Stallone style rookie American 'keeper. A quick look at IMDB and it gets a 6.2 rating. Words fail me.
