Switched it off straight away! Scouse cunt! The seeds for that night were sown 12 months before in Rome , my cousin and his dad went to the 84 Final and some of the reports he told me were frightening , and that was before Roma lost . A few lads on here have posted about violence we recieved at Liverpool in the late 70's , so it could be said they were getting some pay back , but let's not pretend the Juventus fans/ Ultras that were stood next to the scousers were a bunch of meek sheep just waiting for the game to start.

dusan nikolic Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 All valid points , Though Hansen is naturally going to defend the Liverpool point of view , especially all the years of the Juve trouble makers being painted as totally innocent , I remember also seeing an Arsenal shirt during one of the Liverpool charges. One uncomfortable bit of footage was Michel Platini jigging around with the trophy , when he must have been aware of all the deaths of his own clubs supporters.

But to basically exempt them from blame is just totally deluded, maybe he did later in the interview, like i said i switched off. May be Platini didn't know about the deaths, he will have been aware of trouble for sure. I think Dalglish took the same stance in his book , better to just say blame lay at all sides ( Including Uefa) and then try and work on making sure it never happens again. Regarding Platini , the Liverpool players knew about the deaths and the Juve fans started rioting when word spread ( perhaps understandably) , so I'm not convinced that Slimy tosser Platini knew nothing about it. Here in Nottingham , the Forest lot hate Liverpool and their fans with a passion , there is no Hillsborough sympathy with the ones who I know well.

I'd agree with that re. the Forest fans I know here. But theres also often a strangely high proportion of older blokes wearing Liverpool shirts in the city centre from what I've seen, people who when they were young would have been around when Forest and Liverpool were competing with eachother for everything. I'd have thought it would be a totally anti-Liverpool city after everything that's gone on between them down the years, but that's definitely not the case.

I agree , I'm near Eastwood so you have a lot of older Forest who hate them , the younger ones don't seem arsed either way. When I was at school it was Liverpool and Everton with a small smattering of United and a lone Bolton Fan . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying that the hatred towards Liverpool is there , I've seen it nearly come to blows many a time when alcohol and Hillsborough becomes mixed.

Oh yeah Redmile is really nice, her parents live in Bottesford near there, that whole area is as good as anywhere for countryside walking. Bingham is growing far too fast though, got a small village centre and a tiny train station yet the new estates theyve built around it have made the population about 3 times bigger than it should be! Jason Lee lives near here. That's the only other interesting fact I have 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I went Meadow Lane this/last season, improved hell of a lot since my last visit watching Bolton.

Notts one way, Grantham and Skeggy other direction... which I never thought until recently would come in handy for a league game but Lincoln and now Grimsby are in easy reach. That Norwich-Liverpool line stops here too so can get back to Manc it just takes forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tram outside the station into the city centre saves a long walk up that hill. I bet a lot of away fans just sup in the bars along the canal.
