An interesting read, I was a little mixed with what I thought and how I felt with this book.
a fun read, football, drink and all things around that.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

Si is 28 and unsure of what he wants – in his job, his love life, even just for dinner. The only thing he’s certain of is his friendship with Jimmy, a late-twenties professional footballer in a career he fears has stalled. Through their uncertainty and just plain lethargy, the two men anchor each other with regular catch-ups at their local, The Feathers.
But little do they know that The Feathers is more than just a great place for a pint and a chin-wag; it’s also a hub for a London-based IRA cell. Plans are being formed – dangerous ones – while Si and Jimmy drink away their quarter-life crises. And just as the guys start to get everything figured out – against the roller-coaster backdrop of Manchester United's Double Double season, and the media and politics of mid-1990s Britain – something happens that threatens to blow it all up.

This story starts of very slowly...and it never seems to get any better.

I don't know what else to say except that I just couldn't find a connection to either Si or Jimmy, nor did I get a real sense of the time period (except for the Man U season.)

Disappointed, for sure.
