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

Status
Not open for further replies.
Its the same as Hillsborough.

Don't get me wrong here, an absolute tragedy. However, LFC and their supporters refuse to take ANY responsibility for their actions.

In all the legal wrangling, finger pointing (at yes the arguably disgraceful cover-up's by the police and government), one thing has been conveniently forgotten. There would have been no deaths, no lies and no cover-ups if.......................drunk LFC fans had not shown up without tickets and crowded those opened sections. The stewards/police would not have needed to open those gates FFS.

Same with Heysel, blame has to fall squarely on the actions of LFC supporters.

Sorry If I have offended anyone here.
 
Some crackers here on Heysel:

"While we stood around waiting .. I noticed to my left an unusual bunch…about a dozen Standard Liege Skinheads, real Nazi looking types…wtf where they doing here?"

"some Liverpool fans must have had tickets in the Juve half and where getting attacked in the bottom corner by front…some reds tried to help by pulling at the barriers to get in…this escalated and the fencing soon fell away…"


"We left soon as we could and on the way out I walked past four Chelsea fans rolling up a Union Jack……I know they were Chelsea fans cos they were skins ( you just didn’t get Scousers dressed like that in 85)..and the flag had Chelsea on it….this like the bizarre Standard Liege Skin head fans present"

From the comments

Most sensible people don't think the Liverpool supporters were wholly to blame for the Heysel tragedy. Liverpool, like most major English (and Italian) clubs at the time, contained a substantial hooligan element. The type of terrace invasion which triggered the Heysel disaster was regular feature of football during the 1970's and 1980's. Looking back, the surprise was that something similar hadn't already happened. However, what irritated many was the apparent reluctance of Liverpool Football Club to accept any responsibilty & the ludicrous assertion by the club chairman that the hooliganism on that day was caused by the National Front.

That is it all in a nutshell

And yet no-one else ever murdered 39 people at a football match.

Simple as that.

I'm listening to Radio M'side right now: it starts off by blaming the wall for it.

You couldn't make it up.

If that wall had stood up to them italians like them brave kopites did then this would never have happened.

But then again the wall had 'CFC' written on it. Everyone seen it. CFC does not mean the wall contained chloroflourocarbons neither. That wall was a chelsea fan. It's common knowledge.
 
Liverpool FC's 30th anniversary tribute was for the club vicar to huddle underneath the tiny 'Heysel' plaque reading the names of the fallen with a handful of ex-Liverpool players watching on.

Utterly pathetic scale in terms of marking the day.

No one's asking them to open a vein up or anything, but where the **** is the top brass at that club and where's the appropriate memorial service?

They're a disgrace over this event, always have been and always will be.

*shakes head*

Thst is just so sad.
 
It moves me to post bitter, antagonistic statuses on facebook and the like, but then I just realise... a lot of blame lies at the club for being populist and not educating younger generations of fans - they are just so entrenched in their beliefs. Unreal levels of delusion.

Exactly as I said in a previous post. Perpetuating the lie that they're beyond any criticism & using the local (And some compliant mainstream) media and z-list celebrities to promote their disingenuous bullsh1t.
 

Why do all the media types say "39 people lost their lives"? They did not "lose their lives". 39 people we murdered for Christ sake.
