Robin Friday Film

[Super Kevin Bremner!]

Just been listening to Paolo Hewitt on Talk Sport and they were discussing a film released today called 'Outside Bet'. He was saying (very briefly) that they are working on a Robin Friday film and that the script is done and dusted.

He wouldn't say anymore about it though. Exciting.

Wonder who would play Robin Friday?

Noel Fielding? Maybe Rhys Ifans with dark hair?

Sounds promising. Reading is not often depicted on the big screen. A brief and unflattering scene in 'Fever Pitch' and a couple mentions in 'Cemetery Junction' being the only times I can recall.

[ZacNaloen]

Just you wait, it'll be all about his time at every club except Reading!

haha yeah I shouldn't get my hopes up. Reading might just feature briefly in a montage sequence early on or something.

I'll leave this here as a reminder as to what can happen with ting tings like this...

Russell Brand will probably play him.

Looking forward to seeing the scene with Lawrenson's kit bag!

[Ups and Downs]

Oh god, it will be Russell Brand.

Shortly after the Robin Friday book first came out I met Paolo Hewitt at a Mod thing in Lonners and got talking to him. He said back then that he was trying (without success) to get it made into a film. So when was that? 2000?

I would say Messi, but after last night I am not sure he is fit to lace Fridays boots let alone his drinks...

If you Google search Robin Friday on images there's actually a picture of Noel Fielding and Robin Friday on page 5 together..

[Ups and Downs]

Noel Fielding does look a fair amount like him in the face but hesstain and bone elsewhere. I can't stand that guy.

I doubt this film will happen anyway.

Eveyone mentioned is way too thin, it would take russel crowes legs, de neros torso, feildings hair and abynormals brain!

[Ark Royal]

Who do you think will portray Clive Thomas?

How are they going to recreate the goal he scored against Tranmere from 85 yards where 250,000 people were in the crowd?

Get that bloke from MK that can juggle a ball for 24 hours - two or three takes together should just about cover the control and juggle bit.

EeeeeeeH what a player though...best there ever was, made Pele and Best look like a pair of donkeys he did.......I remember one game when he dribbled round the whole Swindon team three times, went in the Spread Eagle for a swift pint and got back just in time to complete a double hat trick and have a huge turd in the opposing keepers mouth. Absolute legend he was.

CGI mates.

Just take Crouchs goal the other day, squidge him down a foot or two, put him 15ft closer to the goal, put a wig and a blue shirt on him and make it look like it was on the other side of the pitch and none of the 250,000 people who were there will be able to tell the difference. I'd be surprised if someone on here couldn't do it in potato shop.

He was ripped to the tits on acid when he scored that goal.

And he had a swan down his trousers.

Presumably Robin is holding Noel as a baby?
