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. 



Good on you Paul.As others have said many just don't know the truth.
Some things in life you just never forget.Hillsborough is one of those for me.

Heysel also springs to mind. I remember watching an Italian fan pulling out a 9 mm and shooting towards fans.


Seriously?? As in you were there, or you saw this on the TV?

 

Was watching it live on TV, I see I stand corrected about it, but it really looked like a Barretta in his hand. The TV commentators couldn't believe it at the time. Two scenarios that both had Liverpool involved and both time was a massive cluster fudge by the various parties involved in sorting it out. I too thought the worst of Liverpool fans and did for a number of years. But hey, I am happy to hold my hand up and admit I got it wrong too. Regardless of all this though, I hope you win the title. Those teams from 1976 - 1990 were excellent to watch.
