38 years ago today - R.I.P. the victims of the Heysel Stadium disaster

It's featured very prominently on their homepage. In no way is it buried.

Whatever people's issues are with the article itself just making stuff up like 'buried' comes across as nothing more than ill informed attempts at points scoring on the back of a truly appalling moment in football history.

...would that they made their triubute to the 39 dead so prominent at Anfield. Instead they have a plaque that's 3' x 2' and 7 feet up on a wall tucked away at the back of a car park.

Compare that with the rightly prominent, impressive and dignified Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield.

Even in death there's inequality.

RIP to the victims and thoughts to their families and friends.

So many lives destroyed and families devastated. That pain and sorrow can never dissipate.

Heysel is an inconvenient truth.

For this, all the more reason that we continue to stand in solidarity with the forgotten and ignored.

Maybe Everton should invite Juventus to be our opponents in the first game at BM - I would think they would appreciate the offer.

That's a great suggestion, would love to see that happen.

This would place the Kult in a real spin.

They would accuse us of having an ulterior motive, but this would raise the issue, which they want forgotten.

Good idea but maybe the Juventus support would be hesitant to attend. I was actually in Naples a few months back and a waiter asked me where I was from. When I replied Liverpool he simply said "Hooligans" and walked away

Then we could make it a Home & Away series... we go to Turin and Juve come to BM for our first game - for a trophy called the Blueve Cup

Only had a beer but there were strange things floating about come to think of it

'In memory and friendship' actually makes my stomach turn over. Especially the way they put it in Italian and then English. Imagine if somebody robbed your house at knifepoint and then came round a few days later asking to be your mate.

Anyone watch that documentary in BT sport about the ban ? Not got BT and hoping to see some of it like.
