A lot of them are the ones who spew the most bile about it, too.

A lot of them wern't born when Hillsborough happened, neither.

However, their idea of 'justice' is some sort of perverted absolution of the fact that kopites going there without tickets aren't partially to blame in any way. I've caught a fair few of them out with that. When asked what their version of justice'd be, their first mention is to get back the currant bun & see the old bill jailed

Until you mention the families of the 96. As in JFT96.

Rats that they are.

I'm just surprised they haven't produced a new kit with 39 on the back.......commercial dept slipping here lads.......

Some Liverpool fans did time for Manslaughter. So that fact should be the basis of the description of the deceased.

RIP

Where any Chelsea fans/NF/Standard Liege skinheads arrested and charged with manslaughter?

There must have been a few, what with them being responsible and that.

From the comments

Most sensible people don't think the Liverpool supporters were wholly to blame for the Heysel tragedy. Liverpool, like most major English (and Italian) clubs at the time, contained a substantial hooligan element. The type of terrace invasion which triggered the Heysel disaster was regular feature of football during the 1970's and 1980's. Looking back, the surprise was that something similar hadn't already happened. However, what irritated many was the apparent reluctance of Liverpool Football Club to accept any responsibilty & the ludicrous assertion by the club chairman that the hooliganism on that day was caused by the National Front.

That is it all in a nutshell

Pretty much spot on that. The attempt by the club to blame others was disgraceful.
We'd come back from having a great time in Rotterdam but we all knew beforehand there'd be trouble at Heysel. To put two sets of opposing fans next to each other was just stupid but the TV footage shows the Liverpool fans who were by far the majority as it was their end, attacking the Italians who were running away. This is an undeniable fact. To claim that the Italians provoked them seems a weak argument given that they had thousands of RS adjacent to them and there were a lot of families in the "neutral" area.

Tragic

...as I said before...

Liverpool FC's 30th anniversary tribute was for the club vicar to huddle underneath the tiny 'Heysel' plaque reading the names of the fallen with a handful of ex-Liverpool players watching on.

Utterly pathetic scale in terms of marking the day.

No one's asking them to open a vein up or anything, but where the **** is the top brass at that club and where's the appropriate memorial service?

They're a disgrace over this event, always have been and always will be.

Let's get things straight though: there are a lot of reds today (beyond the handful of RAWK commentators) who know that there is a debt that needs paying. But their club have completely let that element of fans down by this paltry effort.

It's insulting.

Mind you, I never thought they would hit the right note today, because as a club they've subverted any recognition or debate or responsibility for what happened. Some low key embarrassed scurrying about round the back of the stands just about sums them up over Heysel.

Credit the people in that photo, but Jesus wept that is pathetic.

Surprised Pearl drops wasn't there, not like him to miss a wreath laying photo opportunity.

Shocking turnout that, then again they don't do guilt and remorse, they specialise in blaming others.

It would be interesting to hear the views of the Italian press when they see that pathetic effort.

As said, you have to tip your hat to the few who turned out. But FFS - and given the right and proper behaviour and recognition toward the H'boro victims and their families - do LFC actually think THAT was what was fitting for a day like today?

I didn't think it was possible for that crew to go down in my estimation. I was wrong.

Ignorant and insulting that was today.

Outraged by everything,
ashamed of nothing.




R.I.P. the 39.

 

[weaf]

The Heysel thread over there is amazing. Obviously they are relieving themselves of guilt plus there is people blaming...Chelsea fans!

RIP the 39
