RIP to those that lost their lives.
Amazed to see no condolences from any of our resident LFC fans given how this tragedy unfolded. All to busy posting in the PL thread about their precious title.
This isn't really a thread of commemoration, and that much is obvious by the agendas that have slipped in within a few posts. Any discussion like this is of course haunted by point scoring, and that is evident here.
That being said, Heysel is a tragedy and stain on the club that will quite rightly never go away. It took far too long for the club to acknowledge responsibility, and more can be done to educate fans about that history.
It would demean the tragedy at hand to get into it, but it still boggles my mind how people make references to Hillsborough relative to this when the circumstances surrounding the legal response were vastly different, and that's where the difference about coverage lies. It's in the specific context of institutional cover-ups where "justice" became a slogan for Hillsborough.
