Manslaughter of 95 people. That's one hell of a sentence then.
They've also followed the chain of command back and into the cover-up that followed. That's a big step forward.
Shame the Coroner of the 1st Inquest has died - I wonder who it was leaned on him to operate that as a complete farce.

Apologies for my lack of understanding on the Hillsborough tragedy, it was before I was born.
However, my question is should the club not be held responsible? The gates just kept letting people in even the capacity was full. What has that got to do with the Chief of Police?

That's exactly what they are doing. Graham Mackrell was the CEO of Sheffield Wedsnesday and the designated safety officer for Hillsborough. He was charged today for breaching the terms of the ground's safety certificate.
Probably the best thing you could do is hit google for a while and do some reading.
About time, the bloke should never see the light of day again. As much as we love to dish it out to the scousers, I have nothing but total admiration for the way they fought for the truth and never gave up.
Finally. I thought this would never happen.
Should never have taken this long.
Fantastic news for the families.
It's nice to hear things like this.
The death toll is more than 96 by the way. Many have taken their lives since 1989.
My only brother was a campaigner for the HJC. He also put on a concert two years ago to raise money for the HJC.
Sadly he passed away last month which broke my heart. I really wish he was around for this news today. He fought so hard for Justice and Truth.
This ones for you lad.
Crying my fecking eyes out here.

RIP Alan. Y N W A. Well done lad.
Its because of people like him this has happened. You should be proud of your brother.
It's been a long time coming and for many it's far too late. However, as I saw pointed out and totally agree with, had this happened a decade or two decades ago then they'd have found some way to squirm out of it and we wouldn't get the guilty verdict they deserve. Now however there is a mountain of evidence, and a lot of it in the form of confessions, so the right verdict should be assumed and hopefully it's accompanied by long prison sentences for all concerned.
Huge props to your brother and all the others who never gave up. You must be very proud of him.
Thanks lads.
There was a few banners made for him for the West Ham and Boro games. A minutes applause against Boro too on the 14th minute . The reason it was on the 14th minute was because of the 14 - 0 verdict last year.
Iam expecting a phone call off him right now. So sad .

Your brother made this happen! Be proud of what he achieved and love to you and all your family.
Also please take note:
Iam glad that bellend Metcalf has been collared too. The horrible twat . His words after Hillsborough still haunt me.
You horrible horrible fecking TWAT !!!
You horrible horrible fecking TWAT !!!
On the one hand so horribly sad for you, but on the other I'm sure it's immensely satisfying and a source of huge pride that he clearly had a big impact on the long overdue justice. Thoughts are with you and all involved or touched by those events.
Hero.
Glad justice is being served, shouldn't it be 96 counts of manslaughter though?
Thanks.
Massive pain in the arse too.
People are texting me saying he is on Sky News. Its after the verdict last year. If you see a scally in a black berghaus with no hair hugging a chubby lady thats him.
Apparently the law relies on the law at the time and that stated that unless the death occurred within a year and a day of the offence then manslaughter charges could not be brought. Stinks.
Iam proud.
There are countless other stories like mine. People have committed suicide or Hillsborough just got to them that they just passed away. Loads of us are meeting in the Ship and Mitre on Saturday as its pur kids birthday. Last time we were all there was after the verdict. The ambulance fella who was in the only ambulance to get on the pitch was there. Some party that.
Roll on Saturday .
One of the victims was on life support for 3-4 years after the tragedy.

The cover up of it all is still the thing that I find the most disgusting. People make mistakes and had they held there hands up at the time and admitted they had made a monumental feck up then that would be one thing. But everything that happened after was just awful.
One fella I'd love to see get his day in court would be Paul Middup who was SYP Federation rep. and the guy who was largely responsible for feeding the infamous 'The Truth' 'facts' to the press. Absolute cnut of a man.
Sorry for your loss, may he RIP
Said before about Hillsborough that anyone who went to football regularly in the Seventies and Eighties will think 'there but for the grace of God......'.
It's truly shameful that it has taken nearly thirty years to get to this point. Those that have had to fight a largely indifferent establishment to get here for their lost loved ones deserve huge respect.

That's who I meant not Metcalf. All over the place here.
Ok... Middup you horrible horrible TWAT !!!!
True.
It nearly happened on a few occasions at the Leppings Lane end. 81/82 , 86/87 and 87/88.
Jack Straw once said something like.
Regarding Hillsborough . I must say to the familes. Searching for justice is like a blind man looking for a black cat in a dark room.
Hahaaaaaa !!! Ok Jack lad we will just give up.. Things like that galvanise us you soft twat .
Well we switched the light on in the dark room and exposed SYP , WMP and every fecking Government since 1989 to be heartless lying twats .
Makes me proud to be from Liverpool on days like today.
Nice to see justice prevail. In my eyes it should never have been allowed to drag on for more than a year in the first place. The evidence was there all along. Had this been investigated properly from the beginning a lot of people could have lived a life without the grief, sorrow and agony that came with the cover stories and built up inside with every day those lies stood as truth. 5 or 10 more years for Duckenfield because of clearer evidence? That won't ever compensate for it. I'd rather the families and friends of the departed as well as those that were there that day didn't have to go through that ordeal at all.
feck me. Iam even quoting the wrong post.
I'm goin the fecking pub.. tra la la la la...
