ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

They have a meeting booked for this Saturday at the church on Oakfield road. 1-3pm. They want to discuss what they are going to do next and are asking fans who were in Paris to come along. Got loads of evidence of how they were treated they say. French can't hide they say. Pass the popcorn. This will go on longer than Pickford killing Van Dijk.
Guaranteed trouble at that
 
You know, for someone who works in 'the media' you seem to be putting much less weight on primary sources such as actual photos and video (people climbing fences, an overly full liverpool end etc) and putting significant weight to secondary sources (oliver kay said this, English journalist translates this french minister as saying... )

You must be able to understand how frustrating it is for all of this evidence to be out there, and for loads of people on here to ACTUALLY know people who got blag tickets, and the media have all taken a party line to ignore it including, it seems, a so called objective, dispassionate media outsider such as yourself.

In fact it's not like you're ignoring it: you're actively disputing it's an issue, and are doing so across hundreds of forum pages.

It really seems like you are way too deep in the media bubble to be objective. There's a real chance that Liverpool fans could cause another tragedy in the future with their behaviour and you in the media will be complicit. You're on here railing against the French authorities when it's quite possible they prevented a catastrophe last Saturday, knowing what we know about how things have transpired in the past.

I would hope that the replies you've received on here would cause some reflection on your small role in the media whitewash that's clearly happening on this side of the channel.
Good post but not a snowball's chance in hell.

They are using the media to make an excuse for them not winning the Champions league, and the Premier league, and just half a quad when they bragged they would win it all. Stop letting them deflect their 'LOSS' Remind them that Real Madrid won the European cup and Man City won the League. Keep laughing. Yes! we are plop, but we do not brag we will win this and this and that and blah and blah. Their big heads need slapping down!

Remind them, the RS fans, the media, sky, the BBC, the ex Kopite commentators, every single day, that they messed it all up after bragging away!
Remember how they went on and on about the quad, about the greatest team of all time! Remember how they wanted us relegated. Remember agent Rafael! Now they deflect it with 'Everyone is against us, poor us'. Remind them every day!

Oh! by the way... Everton stayed up! sniff it!
An 'unprecedented' post.
 

Oh my!! lollollol

What next?

The first team to be 2-0 up after 12 minutes when playing at home at Anfield
Thiago the first Spanish player to complete a 35 yard pass in the 59th minute of any football game.
The first club ever to play in red and on a Thursday in the PL
The first club to have a victory parade on the anniversary of the day they killed 39 football fans.
 
Mark Lawrenson in actual self-awareness shocker. A small amount, but it is there. I've literally never heard anybody from that club talk about it like that.

Edit: Ah, he's back to being the victim after 5 minutes


Fair play to ML for being so frank and honest about it. In the near 40 yrs since the tragedy im fairly certain that's the first time I've heard any of them speak so honestly of it. As he said, it's their guilty 'secret' that has in effect been completely whitewashed by all and sundry.


We shall never forget.
Those who lost their lives will never be forgotten.
