MancWanderer Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Internal loyalist feud Remember they got named the “Bolton Wanderers” iirc it was Jonny Adair’s wife’s house that got machine gunned. Some of them lived off Chorley Old Road near my brother. One of them set off in the car and a bomb dropped off and onto the road without going off. Seem to remember that they pretty much took over The Victory on COR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it just means that unionists will realise the folly of splintering and move to put things right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police tried to talk him out of giving a statement! Presumably he and his cronies ran out of money and went elsewhere in the end?

MancWanderer Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 It’s genuinely worth it The first few episodes are scene setters where you learn about the characters. A bit dull but set the whole thing up I thought that Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were a bit shit but folk on here told me to plough through the early episodes and they were right Succession is right up there with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
