BBC2 on now! Hillsborough Anybody watching?

[SoleBizzz]

Nothing was being done.

[seasidesally]

watching,i remember it but was young at the time

was at a premier match recently how times have changed regarding seating,crowd control etc

[wobblywonderwoman]

I am watching. It's is deeply upsetting.

[seasidesally]

i know newsagents in Liverpool still wont sell The Sun newspaper due to their blaming of the fans

[SoleBizzz]

Usually men can jump over fences etc. I wouldn't have been able to get over the fence if I'd had the opportunity to

[seasidesally]

when small my family took me to a big name football match and it was the olds standing concrete stands and can easily see how a crush could happen

[SoleBizzz]

I was confused when this happened. I didn't remember it was Sheffield because of the Hillsborough ground name.

[Hissy]

I've just seen an ex boyfriend in the crowd.

It never occurred to me he'd have been there.

Looks like he survived tho, thank god.

It was an almighty shock to see his face, clear as day.

[Ginmakesitallok]

It's hellish.

[seasidesally]

omg hissy

[SoleBizzz]

Oh gosh Hissy! Shock for you. But glad he is o.k.

[SoleBizzz]

The footage is harrowing

[GinnyMcGinFace]

I watched this on You Tube when it was still banned here. So, so shocking. Up until I saw it, I had thought it was a terrible thing but an accident, nobody's fault. I'll be honest, I couldn't quite understand why 27 years later the families were still trying to 'pin the blame' on the police. I was rendered totally speechless by the actions of the police, of Duckinfield, the lies, the betrayal. Truly shocking. And the relentless strength and insistence of the families to get justice is truly, truly humbling.

[expatinscotland]

I know a lady who lived through the crush. She was 18. I know her because now her son is dead from cancer. So much needless death.

[SoleBizzz]

The media did a good job making some people believe the lies. I drove to and from Glasgow a few times during the last two years and there were Hillsborough signs on the M6 for the families.

[blackbunny]

This is heartbreaking...

[SoleBizzz]

They only went to watch a football match....One couple both Daughters were killed.

[seasidesally]

thank goodness for all seaters now,im sure this rule has saved injury and life

[laylabelle]

Mad to think so many little mistakes were made that led to this.not delaying kick off..not closing the tunnel..could've been so easily prevented

Then you have the fences where so many made it out of Bradford because of lack of them..not being the case here.its scary to think how things were and how much has changed.though some clubs have discussed safe standing which can work if properly in place but don't think ever in England be introduced

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Oh God, I wanted to watch this. I've missed the first hour so I'll have to catch the beginning on iPlayer.

I've had to read about this recently through work and it is harrowing.

[SoleBizzz]

The original verdict was accidental death. I want to know how that was overturned. I need to research unless it's explained tonight during the programme.

[GinnyMcGinFace]

Keep watching, OP...

[seasidesally]

i must say i was very impressed with the Premier League match i went to

lots of stewards walking up and down the rows of seats continuess

security everywhere

[SoleBizzz]

Thank you Ginny.

The Liverpudlians are so strong. I knew they'd never give up fighting for justice.

[ASAS]

Wrong class. Wrong accent. No power. And no basic human empathy from those in power. I hope these swines haven't slept a wink since.

To think that child's blood was analysed. No words.

[Kummerspeck]

I was in Liverpool on the day this happened. I was walking with my first baby in a pram when a woman ran out of her house crying that something terrible was happening and I should go home. I remember the dawning sense of horror, the relief for those who returned and the grief that took hold in the following days. I was lucky that everyone I knew came back but I had recently had a baby, was hormonal and cried for days anyway although I might have done regardless of hormones.

I am not a Sun reader, never have been, but I have never allowed it in my house since. I have had builders and others take it back to their vans or throw it away but it will never cross my threshold. Disgusting rag. The free issue a few years back was returned without a stamp in protest.

Like many other scousers I have not been directly involved in the Justice campaign but have supported with the odd donations and have always known they were right and the Police were lying

By coincidence I was back in Liverpool on the day of the verdict. Even though I was not in any way involved I was incredibly relieved and moved. Words cannot express what those people have gone through and their courage in fighting for this truth. I hope justice follows swiftly
