    40 years anniversary Thursday 29th just gone. Didn't hear or see anything anywhere about remembering it..
    Just the small matter of 39 Juventus fans going to the game and not going home again.
    It got English clubs banned from Europe for 5 years and Liverpool 6 years. So no small event in history..
    Always find it strange that some past events are more or less forced back into peoples psyche at the drop of a hat these days.. While others are buried and totally ignored..

    Isn’t it pretty obvious why it gets less coverage than Hillsborough, Bradford & other events?

    It happened abroad & English weren’t amongst the killed.

    It’s no conspiracy.

    There’s regularly terrorist attacks that happen that kill far more around the world than 7/7 or the Manchester Arena bombing. They don’t get the same coverage because the victims weren’t English & they happen abroad. I don’t really get what’s difficult to understand.

    Unless there’s some ulterior motive & people don’t actually care about the dead & just want to use it as an excuse to hammer Liverpool fans
