    He and John Byrne are screenwriting geniuses.
    Before a Harry Wraggs game, number of years ago now, we were in.....Hubbards in Gt Western Rd (I think.....was that the boozer attached to "Clatty Pat's"?).
    McDougall was in, had a brief natter, telt him I enjoyed his work, seemed sound enough.

    Watched this last night - lots of fights with knives but only ever sticky plasters to cover up the “lacerations”. I fell asleep prior to the final third but my wife said it was quite good at portraying the hopelessness of life for many in Drumchapel in the late 1970’s.

    I think you and your wife have it spot on SD.

    The good parts are the one liners ��

    Might be of interest to you Buc, but I watched three Plays for Today on the IPlayer on Friday, called the Billy Plays.

    Based in Belfast during the troubles in the late 70s, they centre on a character called Billy (played by an 18 year old Kenneth Branagh) and his troubled family. Grim at times with some gollows humour thrown in for good measure, I found them very enjoyable.

    I remember them from first time around, and watched them all again recently. Grim stuff in a grim location in dangerous times.
