Hillsborough Independent Panel findings and release of documents.

[Pickman's model]

Yes it did. I'm certainly old enough to remember when football matches were scary places you just didn't go to.

If you were coming out then with the guff you've posted on this thread I can see how people might have taken against and menaced you

 

[LeslieB]

Loads of people went though.

Nowhere near as many as in previous decades, though.

 

[editor]

It's people like you that are to blame for those fences in the first place.

Get the fuck out of this thread NOW or be banned you insensitive cretin.

 

[LeslieB]

Get the fuck out of this thread NOW or be banned you insensitive cretin.

I beg your pardon? Can you really not stand alternative views on this?

 

[stethoscope]

Who once said this on here?

I don't even particularly like football,

What you are posting is inaccurate, grossly insensitive and deeply offensive. If you can't see that, that's your problem, but if you keep posting in this thread, you will be banned.

If you want to start a thread about how all football fans in the 70s/80s were supposedly some kind of raging animals who deserved to die, feel free to do so and see how you get on with that, but you are NOT going to troll this thread with your vile bullshit.

Anyway…

Fine.

Where did I say that, please?

 

[brogdale]

Where did I say that, please?

Ask to be banned again.

editor pls put him out of his misery

 

[harpo]

editor pls put him out of his misery

It must be past his bed time.

 

[Pickman's model]

It must be past his bed time.

No, he's old enough to stop up to past the watershed. But he's a vile racist twat with no redeeming features whatsoever and an unenviable talent in posting offensive tosh

Does anyone at Urban go to the British museum? Can anyone dig out Littlejohn's Evening Standard piece on Hillsborough? Would have been not long after...

[Coolfonz]

I mean British library!! not museum d'oh...anyway request still stands...does it cost to get a copy? i'll pay.

 

[stethoscope]

All I can find is a twitter post from somebody who posted a picture of the cutting a while ago. 'Come off it you reds' the piece was called - twitter link.

 

[cantsin]

Yes it did. I'm certainly old enough to remember when football matches were scary places you just didn't go to.

ha ha ha "says it all" doesn't even begin to cover it with that comment does : didn't go / was too scared / eager to blather on about it all endlessly, regardless .

That's it! I can read most of it. I'm not on Twitter, but that article should be given a wider audience. All the same stuff about `drunken` fans and `thuggish` fans. Can you contact the guy via Twitter and ask for a better scan?

 

[Favelado]

The amount of hatred and bile that people from Liverpool, not just LFC fans, have been subject to in general is extraordinary. The city that lost half of its population due to industrial decline, and the city that maybe suffered more than any other, became the "self-pity city", sneered at by sketch shows, politicians, but also your average man in the street much of the time.

Divide and rule really works doesn't it?

See if this works.

Fucking hell, that middle column of text of the Littlejohn piece.

What scum he is.

 

[Coolfonz]

You are some kind of internet genius. Can you now make it go viral?

 

[stethoscope]

Perhaps the best thing would be if someone who's on twitter could pop a tweet to the person who originally posted it to ask to repost/share? Seems most appropriate.

 

[Dovydaitis]

See if this works.

Nasty. Just pure nasty

 

[William of Walworth]

Best news there could have been. I was very late to get any detail, but I'm absolutely delighted.

I've read all the posts and links (these 3 crucial ones reposted together for other latecomers who might be too short of time to do the whole thread -- hope that's OK).

How the Hillsborough inquest jury ruled on the 14 key questions

Hillsborough Justice Campaign press release/statement -- the last paragraph especially really got to me.

Hillsborough disaster : Deadly mistakes and lies that lasted decades -- there'll be other excellent history and analysis, but this huge piece by David Conn is a must-read IMO.

Some superb posts on this thread earlier today as well. Particularly this posted by @brogdale (post 1199) back on page 40
