With all due respect it most probably would have been played at Goodison or Maine Road. If United would have got us in quarters and won then yes it would have been United in the Leppings Lane that day . But , yes I get your point.
he ordered the gates to be opened
This
That last line is
indeed. United fans stood at the Lepping Lane end often enough (I was there for the semi against Derby and was crushed against that wall countless times)
Indeed.
I see, thanks.
Couldn't have put it better myself. I hope the news brings a little peace to some of the families involved.
His bottle went and to being honest I dont think he had any training whatsover in crowd management.
Sorry for your loss mate, but at least you can be so so proud of him, The effort, determination and resilience the people of Liverpool showed over Hillsborough is so inspirational, massive respect to you all.
I agree with that, its just when watching the documentaries I remember thinking those are the kind of feck ups I'd make.
Hopefully, I cant imagine having my loved ones taken away, then lied about, and essentially swept under the carpet. Its heartbreaking, even though it hasnt impacted me personally I always get emotional when I think of that day and its aftermath,
Thanks .
It really should, as much as we all love our teams and our differences, we all have so much more in common.
So true.
Couldnt have put it better, I think Ill have a very rare beer tonight, and Ill be raising a glass to you, you brother and everyone else involved my friend.
Thanks.
Didn't they get rid of the previous guy who did have experience in a fit of pique by his superiors.
Absolutely. Lives could have been saved. However we all know that back then a cover-up of lies and collusion would have swept everything under the rug and given all concerned an exit without any admission of guilt and certainly no punishment. Even the FA have admitted culpability by stating they knew that Hillsborough had not been issued with a safety certificate yet still permitted the match to go ahead there. Why are they not in the dock too ? Therefore at least now justice will be done, it most certainly wouldn't have been back then and that would have been even worse for most of those concerned.
I couldn't understand for many years, not helped by the fact that I hate the bastards & will continue to do so.
I re watched the 2 hour documentry this afternoon and they addressed the ticketless fans. In the Independent Hillsborough review experts reviewed all evidence and estimated that the correct allocation that was stated for that end was not surpassed. This would indicate that there was not a massive amount of ticketless fans at all. Booze has been ruled out as a factor and the inquest gave no blame to the fans at all.
Absolute bollocks.
I agree, but can only see one person who made that comment and I have chosen to give them a pass as I do not know them. But they obviously have no knowledge of recent events surrounding it.
He seemed to know all the false stuff that The Sun and SYP were spouting, you would think if he is so sure of it that he would look at why the inquest said none of it was true. Hopefully he has now taken the time.
True, I was suprised myself. Didnt want to turn it angry though as its not the time or place. Maybe those who still believe that shite should watch the documentry with Professor Scranton in. It is emotional, took me back to that day and I was not there. I recall as a 16 year old turning on the telly to see the latest footie and seeing all these people dying on the pitch. Horrible. Horrible it has taken this long and I have total respect to the families and friends.
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.
It was the year I was born, so I have watched all the documentaries since and it is heartbreaking what happened. The families deserve to see justice done and like you I have so much respect for them and the fact they wouldn't give in.
You wouldn't have just opened a gate and let a massive unspecified amount of people, that you hadn't even checked all had tickets, go in without the security of single file through turnstiles though surely?
