Hillsborough 30 for 30 on espn this Tuesday at 11pm if you haven't watched it online yet.


I watched this last night.

Forgive the naivety of my post but I never knew much about this at all, I never understood why people were banging on about 'justice for the '96' etc etc, I always assumed that standing terraces were an accident waiting to happen and that the accident happened, so the rules were changed accordingly.

Wow, just wow. I could not believe what I was watching, it was absolutely mind blowing. 

I had no clue about the incompetent decisions by senior police that day and the subsequent cover-up. I can't believe that the altered statements of the policemen were ignored for years, despite being there for all to see. 

It was absolutely outrageous, my bottom lip was on the floor for basically the entire two hours, I'm flabbergasted this is still playing out in the courts etc 25 years later. 



I think this is where a lot of the trolling and abuse info lfc comes from, people don't actually understand what happened. They've heard the 'official' version either from parents or police and have gone from there. It's a football issue, not just a lfc issue. It could have happened to any clubs fans, it's just sickening. I couldn't watch it last night, will try again tonight, but have heard its compelling viewing but very hard to watch
