Disgusting that an inquest cleared the fans of any blame, but there are still people on here trying to find reason to blame them because they do not like Liverpool F.C. Have a look at yourselves.
You need to read more about it. The whole tragedy has been picked apart and experts have concluded that it wasn't caused by the behaviour of the fans.
Those who've spent years looking at all the evidence have been very clear about why so many people died.
That's a bizarre way of looking at it. There's always a small minority who'll try and sneak in for free, and seeing as it always happens it's up to the people planning the event to take the necessary safety precautions with that in mind. To blame fans who jibbed is just plain wrong.
And why would booze be a factor? Again, people are always going to have a drink before a football game. So what? What absolute horse-shit.
Iam not and never will say there wasnt any ticketless fans . It was like that for most teams back then. What I will say is your statement needs evidence. Solid evidence .
Booze . It was a footie match which means that most people drink . Especially in the semi's.
One question . Where is this rampaging drunken mob that forced down the gates ? It never existed and you.know it.
Many factors contributed to fans being late mate . Traffic congestion on the Pennines being one. Was you aware of this ?
Anyway. Youre speaking shite lad and you fecking know it .
You need to do yourself a favour and learn something about a subject before speaking and revealing your ignorance.
Forst and foremost it doesn't matter which team was involved at all my views wouldn't change. I have no ignorance around the matter, my cousins were there that day with their dad. Thankfully they got tickets in the opposite end and what I believe is exactly their accounts.
Yes the Sun is scum and shouldn't have published thst fans were rifling through the pockets looking to rob, when they were helping with identification.
Yes the police made the call to open the gates which lead to many innocent fans getting killed, those that got in on time and had a ticket and there was a massive cover up by thr police to shift blame which was wrong and they were found out about it.
If you think that all fans attempting to gain access had tickets thrn that is the ignorance. Its not just Liverpool thst did it in the 80's it still happens to this fay and many many fans turn up without tickets.
Yes they've had an inquest that now blames the police, just when the previous one cleared them so that in itself shows how reliable the inquests are, they cater to what the public want to hear at the time of it taking place.
The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of those two.
Speaking out about anything of this nature feels like i am guilty of warcrimes or something, if anybody can't handle the rational regarding these posts then welcome to the world where the media is king.
The 96 that died are the true victims here, ive been to plenty of away games where there is pushing and there are more fans than the capacity of the allocation given how is this possible? Someone isn't doing their job somewhere.
The fact is, the police and ticketless fans trying to jib in caused this, I'm just stating what is common sense and from accounts of people there. You cannot single out and blame any one of the ticketless fans trying to get in, the blame goes to the police for failing to control the fans.
Even in the official inquest you know the reasons why they opened the gates?
Not here to argue, just to provide another view point that nobody wants to talk about. There are plenty of examples.
Bbc debunking everything ive said above and then contradict themselves, when you read the taylor report, even they admit there were "some" fans without tickets and "some" drunk.

Let me repeat, the 96 are victims and it is a tragedy regardless of which club. The truth lies between both reports.
This wasn't the first match at hillsborough with a capacity crowd.
