Are we having the Hillsborough debate again today?

Looking forward to it.

 

Four years - two disasters.

 

Whatever the outcome I have a feeling they won't be happy.
They're also having another 2 minutes silence in town at 3:06. Already had one this year

 

I've tried to steer away from all these argument on here and social networks sites. What would happen if the police came out and said "ok, its our fault, compensation packages etc...." Would that be enough for them? l don't think so. Are we having a minutes silence for Heysel and all the people the Liverpool fans killed?

 

I've never witnessed a mintues silence for heysel and i've lived here for 24 years

 

Agreed.

 

Well I fully support them. And the fact that usually sensible posters will still implicitly and explicitly allude to the complete mustruths created by senior police and possibly others (we may see who today) shows exactly why

 

I support them looking for answers, definitely. Being proven today that there's been a cover up for 23 years by govt & SYP and the handling was criminal (literally).

But I hope that's the end of it - closure. But I don't think it will be.

 

Pay attention then

Re: Pay attention then

Did it take them until 2010 to recognise it? Wonder how many attended and knew it was actually happening, a Liverpool resident above didn't.

 

I think they definitely need to reopen the inquests. The cut off point of 3.15pm means that the families don't actually know what happened to their loved ones. Having experienced losing a friend in circumstances where we never really found out what happened I can only say that has made closure incredibley difficult. It shouldn't matter, it won't bring him back but somehow it does.

Unfortunately people like Duckenfield will never be held to account. That must be incredibly infuriating

 

Read the piece in the Independent this morning - it's a quality bit of writing. Apparently, there's eye witness testimonies that one of the victims was speaking after 3:15 so that cut off is ridiculous.

Also, the doctored evidence from one of the PCs is ever so slightly damning.

No, it didn't take them 25 years

There is some form of memorial every year.

You can't make people take notice. It's in the national press most years and the local press every year. The town hall rang the bells once for every victim for christ sake, how public do you want them to make it?

 

If they don't hear what they want to hear they'll claim that there are documents missing.

Once again Rogan Taylor on the radio this morning lumped in Bradford with Heysel and Hillsborough.

 

Re: No, it didn't take them 25 years

If there is a memorial it's passed me by - doesn't get mentioned on local press. Certainly not on the scale if hillsboro when all the shops in the centre take part

 

And the witness to the lad talking is a special police constable too.

I just can't understand how anyone can't empathise with the victims families search for some accountability, particularly for the cover up

 

Has anyone said they can't empathise?

 

It doesn't get mentioned in the local press?

Here's an article from this year. Took 2 seconds to find. It's you that takes no notice, it's not that it isn't there.

Re: No, it didn't take them 25 years

Bit I don't get is why there doesn't seem to be the 'fault on both sides' option, everybody points to the things that the police have done wrong, but does anybody think the scousers would be blameless?, because having been to quite a few similar games and having seen the Liverpool fansin particular in action more than a couple of times in the seventies , I don't

 

Re: No, it didn't take them 25 years

I'd like them to go on about it as much as they do with Hillsborough, then make public the number of victims they maimed with their stanleys around Anfield.
