Brilliant show! Excellent cast and very well written show. It provided an interesting opportunity for introspection and reflection on not just the sectarian culture present in Scotland but also more general bigotry in wider society. My American friend joined for the show and also thoroughly enjoyed and found it relatable from a very different perspective - so it’s not just for a Scottish audience. This new take on the original show is an excellent adaption and arguably even better! Would certainly recommend everyone to go see it for yourselves!

Definitely a must see for this year’s Fringe! Stellar performances from all three cast. Such a unique experience to hear the effects of Sectarianism being told through a female perspective. It masterfully takes the audience through the journey of how these issues can become so embedded in our culture, family and personality. The writing allows the cast to carry the audience through highs and lows at a moments notice. Top acting, directing and writing all round. 5 stars!

This show is an absolute must see at the Fringe! I’ve seen it twice now and have got my tickets to go again before the end of the month.
The girls are amazing at taking you through a journey of thought provoking moments, raw emotion and pure laughter.
As an avid football fan it certainly opened my eyes and I truly enjoyed the performances from the cast.

I have now seen the show twice and when I tell you it would be a mistake to miss it, I mean it! This thought provoking play is also hilarious and heartwarming as it explores the football rivalry between Celtic and Rangers fans that I grew up around.

The chemistry between Jade and Dionne is electric and the energy you witness on stage is amazing! Go check them out for a taste of Glasgow banter!!

The cast were amazing, the show has everything you want from it, it’s funny, heartwarming and emotional at times. I would highly recommend it to anyone whether they are a football fan or not. Best show at the fringe!

Hilarious play. The actors are brilliant (understatement by the way) and the west-coast rivalry is so well written.

Kieran Begley 33 days ago

I’ve seen this show twice now and loved it both times. The script is hilarious and the exploration of Scottish football culture and sectarianism will resonate with anyone who has grown up in the west of Scotland, while giving a great insight for those that haven’t. What really sells the show however, is the incredible chemistry from Dionne Frati and Jade McDonald. The pair bounce off each other so well, landing every joke and small emotional beat expertly and with ease, making the show fly by.

An incredible show from all actors! Has a great balance of out loud belly laughing and societal introspection. If you have spent any time in the West of Scotland, I cannot recommend this show enough. A great performance all round from the cast and a script to follow suit.

Phenomenal play! Absolutely loving the digs; the highs and lows and all the banter between the cast. Out loud funny and a really nice addition to the fringe this year. Really well done. This has to be the top show I’ve seen at the fringe so far! Well done all!!!

This has been one of my favourite shows so far, caught them at the pavilion last year and the atmosphere for this has been amazing and exciting. A must see at the fringe this year the girls are wonderful. The message of the show really shines through, the comedy elements shadowed in some dark political realities that infect our daily lives are not missed in this intelligent character study by all performers

A fantastic performance by these ladies, who all perfectly find the balance between the humourous and serious elements of the show! Would highly recommend everyone to go and see it!

Goldberg at Large (5/5 stars) 32 days ago

Dillon’s rich ear for language and brutal honesty about his country’s internal divisions explain why this show has survived for two decades. That, and a plentiful supply of laughter.
