That is absolutely disgusting.

I just do not get this 'Stadium not fit for purpose' excuse, If fans just stood there and watched a football game then nothing would have happened. So are they really saying they wanted to push against a wall and it was simply not fit for that purpose and that is why it collapsed?

If a stadium is not fit for purpose for watching a football game then there might be a few injuries from fans tripping, seats not fit for sitting on, etc. or the toilets and facilities are a disgrace.

Also, they are massively blind to what Juve fans think of them even though they made the public turning of backs and giving them the finger when them lot had the nerve to bring out the 'friends' banner at Anfield.

Over the years they basically either blamed the rest of the world for the tragedy or pretended it never happened,then when the
two clubs meet again that shower of sh1te turn it into a spotlight on how they try to atone by holding a crappy friends banner up,only to get all indignant when the Juve fans arent applauding them for a pithy attempt at apology
 
Except it isn't an 'odd pocket' of liverpool fans, it's the overwhelming majority of them; fronted & encouraged by their 'celebrity' fanbase.

Most kopites aren't even from the region, nevermind the city. They come from far-flung places expressly to assimilate themselves into the persecution complex hysteria that these 'celebs' promote on behalf of the guilty. (It surely can't be for the 'glory' nowadays, can it?)

These 'wools' are the ones who know nothing about the facts (NOT the Evertonians & fans of other clubs that hooton was havin a pathetically-veiled dig at) yet they're exactly the ones brainwashed into perpetuating the lies & propaganda that LFC supporters are entirely blameless by accepting as Gospel, this self-pitying, hypocritical drivel. And are the very same ones who fully subscribe to the overzealous, over-the-top siege mentality when the justifiable criticism's directed at them & their chosen club's failures regarding heysel (AND hillsborough but that's a different - but relative - kettle)

And for what? They hold no allegiance to this city. But they're the ones from the cities & provinces that hold the view that the citizens here are ALL self-pitying, yet they'll defend the ones guilty through their tenuous association with the club?

Nutcases. This is the workings of the merseyside-based branch (aka 'enlightenment section') of LFC supporters.

Hooton ought to be thoroughly ashamed of his words, and rightly be judged by them. It's the likes of him that has given the (Non-LFC supporting) outsiders view of Liverpool citizens as 'self-pitying'.

Idiot.

Find it uneasy that they drag the JFT96 bandwagon around like a medal of honour, Using it as a tool for marketing and to sell shirts but refuse to accept they caused the deaths of 39 football fans

Honestly the worst stain on English football and they should be made to remember what they did that day and after the event

Like ive said many times.

Misusage of emotional capital.
Sickening...
 
“It was worse than witnessing what I saw in the Bush. These were grown men behaving like savages. My then mother-in-law came over for the final on the ferry, and she was one of many who were handed pamphlets by the National Front, which basically said, 'Liverpool will not be in Europe again.'
"The NF saw Scousers as scroungers and envied Liverpool’s success on a football field. My mother-in-law said that a lot of the people handing out pamphlets had Chelsea and Millwall tattoos on their arms. People are still free now with blood on their hands.”
Grobbelaar later decided to try to find out for sure whether the NF were really implicated in Heysel. “I travelled to one of their headquarters just outside Slough for a group meeting. They recognised me straight away and because I was a white guy from Rhodesia, they assumed that I was racist. So they welcomed me.
"I had a drink and tried to relax. One of the heads approached me and we got talking. I asked whether they knew anybody who was involved in Heysel and all of a sudden he went cold, said no, then walked off. He sussed me and I decided it was best I leave for my own safety.”

“Heysel was never raised by rival fans in the late 1980s. After the advent of the Premier League, I think there was a certain feeling that the European ban had affected Everton’s finances. And when Everton were flirting with relegation it manifested itself a little bit more then because people were looking for reasons why they were in this situation."


That is a barefaced lie......other fans were having a go at them in the late 80s.

Yours truly being one of them.
