CGiii Comment
There are some standout performances: Jay Brown should never work again - an utterly atrocious performance...and, the rest don't do much better.
Blair does Blair - in Fit...it worked...here - it most definitely does not.
The writing is preachy and laboured...ripped from some activists' handbook.
The direction lacks sculpture.
The farce that is played on the pitch sits (mightily) uncomfortable with the interspersed serious scenes (some of these scenes are not half bad)...
This looks, sounds and feels like a youth theatre production.
Mr Blair your efforts are noted but, perhaps, you should let go of some of the strings and take some critical advice...because, this is not good - in the slightest.

The(ir) Blurb...
What happens when the hardest team in the Sunday Soccer league comes up against a gay team and finds they've finally met their match? Watch and wince as fledgling referee Elton Glixton struggles to control this testosterone tsunami as rude-boy meets bum-boy in this outrageous comedy set in the crazy gung-ho world of 5-a-side footie.
