    Yes.

    Justice at work.

    And an end to the denigration of the innocent fans.

    hmmm...

    The point was, at that time, the way football matches were managed with supporters caged and forced through small spaces, when gates were opened and crowds surged it was an uncontrollable force, and a tragedy like this was waiting to happen. It's very sad that it happened in this way before changes were made, but it was the supporters themselves, the stadium design and regulations, and the police management and many other factors that made such a situation inevitable. Not a bad decision by one policemen, but a whole social buildup over decades...

    The lies, by all sides, but especially the authorities, are terrible.

    This settlement has nothing at all to do with justice, it's politics to agree to give the Scousers some more money and end the entire process.

    Liverpool fans were *blamed* for the Heysel Stadium clusterfuck a few years earlier.

    The truth is it was an inadequate stadium, the police were fucking useless, and when the scousers reacted to having cups of piss and stones thrown at them, the eyeties did their usual and ran away, causing a wall to collapse.

    There was plenty of blame to be shared around but they bunged it all on the mickey mousers in my opinion.

    THIS.

    The nauseating sentimentality portraying the scouse football supporters of that era as saintly innocents murdered by the conniving boys in blue is almost as bad as the national whinge fest when the princess of slags died getting the attention that she craved.

    Anyway, even though I detest soccer, I will now be a Liverpool wendyball supported. Only been to 1 soccer match (Saints v Sheffield wednesday, 1:3 at the Dell) but can not claim to be a saints supporter. The only people I know passionate about this poofball game seem to support liverpool arsenal or chelsea, and londoners are twats anyway, so it looks like Liverpool it is. Does this Liverpool team win ever?

    The abandoned semi final between Liverpool and Notts Forest was played a couple of weeks later. Liverpool won and went on to beat Everton in the final.

    Couldn't they, shouldn't they, have scrapped the Cup for that year? Instead of 'the show must go on'....fortified with Gerry and the Pacemakers and black armbands and ' you'll never walk alone' and whatnot.
