    What is that beer they all seem to drink from the bottle? Clancy's? Is it a real beer or a made-up one?

    Found some scenes to be quite funny this week. The one when the hospital door opens and there's screaming and then it goes quiet and cuts to Nidge saying 'it's mad how they come out naked and you put clothes on them'.

    Not made up at all.. I've been known to head down to the off license on my hoverboard, grab a six pack of Clancy's, and head over to Shrek and Captain America's pad for a night's drinking :pac:

    The whole thing looks like its shot around Knocklyon or Castleknock, not places you would find many tough gangsters

    The end of the first series Darren got shot leaving Mortons pub on the Firhouse Road which is around Knocklyon but apart from that most of it is shot in D8 & D12.

    CALLING ALL IRELAND WITH A MESSAGE FROM SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY IS FROM A WORKING CLASS AREA IN DUBLIN AND HAS KNOWN SOME SERIOUS SCUMBAGS IN MY TIME

    This attempt by the D4 based RTE types to portray a realistic 'gritty' gangland working class Dublin, really is pants.

    Nobody from working class Dublin talks like they do on love/hate

    Nobody from working class Dublin dresses like they do on love/hate

    No criminals/scumbags act like they do on love/hate

    The whole thing looks like its shot around Knocklyon or Castleknock, not places you would find many tough gangsters

    Id imagine if it were filmed round the likes of the Inner City or Finglas the 'tough guy' gangster actors of this show would get eaten alive

    And I don't know many gangsters who look like lead character of Love/Hate, with his indie band haircut, Brown Thomas getup and stick thin skeletal figure.

    Not a nike tracksuit, one back and sides haircut in sight

    I'm afraid for me its just hate instead of love/hate

    Again RTE and the Irish film industry fail in attempting to capture working class Dublin


    I have seen and do see loads of Blokes dressing really well who are criminals,

    Last night I identified Ballyfermot/st michael's estate/Bluebell/tallaght/cork street ?

    Most of the people seen on love/hate are in the Top structures of the gang and would be dressed and more well of than then lower tracksuit types you see around.
    And imo there doing a good job in there portrayal of gangland in Dublin.

    The only non-realistic issue for me is the lack of hard work done by most of the guys. From what I know of that world, you don't get any income when you sit around on your ass partying. You only get income with a fairly constant level of low-level activity, whether it is selling or moving the drugs, or extortion or loansharking or whatever. The Sopranos was great for showing how the guys always had a few irons in the fire going at any one time. Love/Hate seems to gloss over this a bit.

    Brilliant, and then he wolfs down her toast after the birth too. The scene with him running into the hospital carrying the bags and cases was just a little bit too slapstick for me, but the rest was excellent.

    F'n brilliant line. :D
    Yeah, those little quiet lines can be the best ones. The actor who plays Aido is a distant relation, which made it all the more funny.

    Hopefully at the end of season 2, model boy and Ruth Negga are disposed of - they don't look like they belong and contribute nothing to the plot. The opportunity is there with JohnBoy becoming increasingly paranoid.
    Sets up season 3 with a real air of reality.

    I wasn't going to but I will......
    1) At John boys level he would not socialise with the "workers", be out drinking in the same pubs as them etc.
    2) The boys at that level are way to hands on with the drugs, that would not happen in real life, there would be more of the "Aido" types to do it. The likes of Nidge & Tommy are way too wide to be any where near them. Paying a donkey is a lot less expensive than a prison sentence.
    3) No one in this day and age wakes up one one morning and says to them selves dya know what, think i'll start selling the coke. €300 grand for 50kgs to start with. How hard can it be? Fran had no customer base, finding customers of that end of the scale, in todays already over supplied market would be lunacy. Maybe the writers are trying to show he is thick? Or not? I don't know.

    Thats my only complaints so far. Oh yeah and in real gangland Darren would be chewed up and spat out in ten seconds. Sorry girls :)

    I wouldn't know much about the goings-on in gangland dublin now, but I would agree with ya about Darren. The eyes are just too soft...

    Ps. You sound like you know an awwwwwwwwwful lot about this kind of thing

    Are u in the game yourself??? ;)

    Oh yeah one more....The cut of them lads going into a cheap hotel with a few gym bags. Doesn't take sherlock to cop that one. Gards dont need a warrant to check out a hotel. Was a really stupid move.
    Stupid move but was clearly based on the incident which sparked the crumlin/drimnagh feud. That occurred in the holiday inn on pearse st

    Not really, the gardai wouldn't be keeping an eye on the hotel and it was going grand until they got messed up. Where would you do it, your own house or an address that could be connected to you?

    Mary was with Tommy alright last season. They were just about to go public but Siobhan made a massive play for Tommy, and sure he could not help himself:p:p. Fair play to our Tommy he kept them both happy for a while.
    At Nidge s wedding Tommy with Mary, Mary asked him to get her fags, and Tommy ended up in leaba with Siobhan. To the best of my knowledge that was the end of Tommy and Mary

    Was funny all right.
    I found the side story with Warren (?, the young son), the santa visit, and then with the commotion with the birth, him being dropped off at the grans but Nidge forgot the santa presents.

    So basically the 5yr old does a pee on Santa, and then gets no presents on Christmas day!!! :D
