Which in itself exposes the historical inaccuracy of both the title and England's claim to have invented the game. In truth a form of football was played all over the country, how else could so many clubs have been formed around the same time.It was the Scots who pioneered the passing game used by Blackburn in this.
Been watching it too - the football is actually pishWatched the first two episodes and am enjoying it. Some nice location shots of the old victorian milltown but the one thing that gives it away is the total lack of chimney smoke.
He’s not a football player at all is he?Hows his football ability in the show? Used to play 5s with him years ago and he wasnt the greatest

Agreed, a very enjoyable watch. Who cares about the inaccuracies. Enjoy it Bears. We are all suffering from withdrawals.It was good I thought, very entertaining. I'm not really bothered with historical accuracy, if I was then every western ever made would be unwatchable.
In the first episode when Darwin play the old etonians Souter says to Arthur Kinnaird that he seen him play in Glasgow against queens parkQuite enjoyed it too. Not sure I'd have watched if it wasn't for the current situation tho. But glad I did.
worth noting that the Old Etonian player in it "Arthur Kinnaird" was Scottish too and played once for the national team. Would probably have played more but in those days the national team was Queens Park
Lol......any future season will no doubt feature the noble struggle to feed the poor and needy of a certain religion in the East end of Glasgow.Watched it all in a day, some great characters and storyline as said football quality was crap however think it is accurate of the time. Hope further series are made and then we get to see our giant of club feature
