blood*

I remember my parents not having red tops in the house. Then after The Scum newspaper printed their vile lies she had a rant and said they don't know what they've caused now. The Liverpudlians wil never tolerate it.

I didn't know this was on so I'll catch up later, it's a programme you need to mantally prepare for I think.

Celtic shave introduced standing again to their stadium. I have to be honest I'm wary of it

Ginmakesitallok · 08/05/2016 22:11

I find your comments about how safety is better these days really uncalled for and insensitive. Yes ground safety was obviously an issue - but the police actions on that day were to blame. Keep watching.

Hepzibar · 08/05/2016 22:12

People have to be held accountable for these henios crimes against humanity.

Or put another way the bastards who treated grieving parents like this should pay.

Bedsheets4knickers · 08/05/2016 22:13

It's awful . Going to bed with a heavy heart x

Bedsheets4knickers · 08/05/2016 22:14

Wasn't it 96 ?? They just said 95

FellOutOfBedTwice · 08/05/2016 22:14

Was just a baby myself when this happened so don't remember it at all, am a Londoner and not a football fan and as such have known very little about it until the 2014 enquiry opened. Shocking. Those who helped cover this up and protect the guilty and the those who were guilty of not doing their jobs must be prosecuted. Disgusting.

SoleBizzz · 08/05/2016 22:15

That's how I feel Hepzibar It's absolutely fucking disgusting treatment.

bed one victim died much later having been in a coma for a long time. He was still a victim of this crime.

cornusalba · 08/05/2016 22:17

Bedsheets, Tony Bland died 4 years later. He never recovered from his injuries.

seasidesally · 08/05/2016 22:17

ofgs,safety is better,are you saying it is not stop looking to be offended and have a ruck

and how are my comments insensitive??

everybody has had to learn from what happened and im guessing some of it has as there has not been another tragedy like this (unless one has passed me by)

Hissy · 08/05/2016 22:18

The 96tj victim died a long time afterwards, was in a coma for a long time

The 97th victim was a lad who killed himself having given his best mate his ticket.

Ratbagcatbag · 08/05/2016 22:18

I'm not watching. I'm planning on catching it on iplayer, if 95 is in reference to a specific point early on in the programme, one person died some years later in hospital after being in a coma I believe.

wobblywonderwoman · 08/05/2016 22:19

I am only learning about the horrific details now. Just appalling. Heart felt sympathies to all of the wonderful families who fought for their loved ones and all the pain they must feel

Hissy · 08/05/2016 22:20

Still in shock. Can't believe it.

I was living in South America at the time, the boyf was someone I'd met on holiday a year or so before.

Corabell · 08/05/2016 22:20

Tony bland was left in a persistent vegetative state. His parents battled to allow doctors to withdraw life support - he died in 1993.

SavoyCabbage · 08/05/2016 22:20

It's insensitive because it's irrelevant. Like telling someone whose family were killed in a car crash that you have test driven a fiesta and found the safety features to be top notch.

ASAS · 08/05/2016 22:20

Does anyone remember the Cracker, with Robert Carlyle, with the Hillsborough 'story line'? As a teenager it was the first time I was made away of The Sun issue. My dad told us this was a sort of modern way of keeping a piece of history relevant, so that the anger wouldn't die and another generation would be given information. Because of his explanation I always knew we, football supporters, normal families, would never give up for those fans that day.

Hissy · 08/05/2016 22:21

The only Liverpool match I ever saw, he took me to. Liverpool thrashed Watford 4-2 if I remember correctly

Ginmakesitallok · 08/05/2016 22:22

We've learnt about ground safety. Now we're learning the truth about the cover up and the disgusting lies which were perpetrated by the police and the media.

Your comments (to me) came across as if you were saying that some good (I. E. safer grounds) had come from this.

HanYOLO · 08/05/2016 22:24

I live in Liverpool and worked in Anfield for a few years.

This is an excellent article from a writer involved in one of the campaigning groups.

a national disgrace

The documentary is really excellent and the testimony of those there on the day is heartbreaking.

seasidesally · 08/05/2016 22:24

oh the thread police,if my posts are offending please feel free to report them
