September 12, 201213 yr 1. A significant amount of Scousers were disorderly beforehand 2. The police were disorganised during 3. The emergency services as a whole responded badly 4. There was no real cover up and Taylor's report was by and large correct. Scousers will deny item 1 and feed on items 2 and 3
September 12, 201213 yr Those Liverpool fans wouldn't have been disorderly before the match. Salt of the earth. Wankers.
September 12, 201213 yr When the talk turns to compensation, that's when i'll lose any shred of sympathy for them
September 12, 201213 yr When the talk turns to compensation, that's when i'll lose any shred of sympathy for them real radio had an interview with some mickey mouser and he happened to menti on families will now be entitled to compensation
September 12, 201213 yr It was gods will because of Heysel. Everyone will be happy and we won't hear anymore on the subject ever again. The Sun will be Merseysides No1 selling daily again. And Liverpool City Council will nominate Kelvin Mackenzie for a knighthood for being a beacon of truth and honesty.
September 12, 201213 yr When the talk turns to compensation, that's when i'll lose any shred of sympathy for them This (IMO) is the over-riding factor in all of this. Scousers wanting compo. 96 people died due to a series of bad decisions made by their own fans, the FA, Sheffield Wednesday FC, the police and the ambulance service. (in no particular order of accountability) Group number 1 of that list want to blame the other 4 groups, but the other 4 mistakes would have gone unpunished , but for the actions of group 1.
September 12, 201213 yr The Notts Forest fans were to blame for not generously giving their illustrious opponents the bigger, more modern end and now their new billionaire owners will get sued for it
September 12, 201213 yr Well, a woman from one the of 'justice' campaigns popped up on a few local news shows as early as last week. She was getting in a pre-emptive strike, saying there probably still wouldn't be full disclosure, as they (S. Yorkshire Police) had probably already shredded files.
September 12, 201213 yr One scouse witch on a TV programme likened the situation to that of Bloody Sunday
September 12, 201213 yr Quote from BBC, "Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi calls for the PM to consider "setting up a compensation fund" for the victims' families so they do not have to go to "great lengths" to get compensation." New trackies being ordered...

September 13, 201213 yr This just shows the attitude the Thatcher government and the police had at the time towards football fans across the country. Absolutely scandalous that it has taken so long for this to come out. I have the greatest respect for the families that kept fighting for the truth, when they knew full well that there had been a cover up. Agreed that the mention of compo will detract from the findings but I'm sure the families haven't fought for so long for the compo.
September 13, 201213 yr booooooo understandable though anyway, fat kit man is he getting a run out this week?
September 13, 201213 yr Where have all the other threads gone? Anyway, does yesterday mean we can go back to any event in the last fifty years and apply modern safety standards before bringing legal action?
September 13, 201213 yr Where have all the other threads gone? Anyway, does yesterday mean we can go back to any event in the last fifty years and apply modern safety standards before bringing legal action? It would seem so, but you can't actually point the finger at anyone not in a position of authority.
