I, along with many on here no doubt, was at the other semi at Villa Park that day and when we were out of the ground and hanging around our cars for everyone to get back, word was spreading round of "there's been deaths at Hillsborough" , the look of disbelief and shock on everyone was sobering, people were panicking as they had friends and/or family there and before mobile phones, people were desperately trying to find any way of finding out. I will not have it for one second that anyone of my era will chant a derogatory Hillsboro chant.
This. I was discussing the day with a mate during the week. There's pics of us all before the game. We were in front of the media boxes so could see what was being shown.on grandstand, blokes around us had radios. We'd heard there'd been deaths reported by 3.30 ish.
I took photos when we got back to the cars, radios on, word spread very quickly,no celebrations around us of getting to Wembley.
Back in Liverpool waiting in the bars we were due to meet mates in and it dragged on and on.
About 10.30 some reds started dripping in, then my mates finally showed up about 11.
We were with them then, the next day up at the Cathedral, laying scarves at 10am. We've been with them ever since.
There will be some young blue bellends that use Hillsborougb as a taunt and they should be shouted down by older blues.
But worst of all is it being used by r/s as a sort of 'pity us, hard done to' to create a smokescreen for their constant and consistent sh thead behaviour.
Every blue that I know has never, and wouldn't, use H'boro as a taunt, but I've had it thrown in my face too many times. Pissing on the memorial, setting fire to it etc etc with no evidence. (I've still got pics on my phone of the 6 on Ruperts tower).
Horrible, horrible cult.
