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

[ToffeeDan]

And your response to Andy Nicholls who was at Heysel would be?

So was my cousin, a staunch Evertonian, but he was sat in the main stand and I can assure you he and his friends were not there for trouble.

Good job we've got these new members to inform us about what happened at Heysel.

I'm just glad it was Everton and Chelsea fans that caused it all and not those loveable reds.

To be fair, they close it out of respect for certain things, such as our support of the H'boro campaign and if somebody dies, it does get renamed from time to time, but their current thread was started in 2014, as much as we love to hate them, they are quite respectful on the main, I feel that should be noted.

most unsurprising single like on the forum there.

Had to look back to check who it was.

My suspicion was correct.

 

[Steve0]

Hahaha you literally couldn't make it up.

Finally admitted it wasn't Chelsea....but flip the blame over to our fans.

Just utterly bizarre.

 

[LEONARD]

It's a fair cop, at the time of the match I was in the Yankee bar on Lime Street.

But I take full responsibility.

Very biased view this. Can only assume you weren't around then. We had the County Road Cutters which was the most notorious firm outside of London. We were also feared for our racist element. Black palyers hated coming to Goodison (ask Les Ferdinand). Barnes back heeling a banana at Goodison an iconic image.

There wasn't the big hooha among fans of other clubs then either (unlike yours) as hooliganism was rampant throughout the game. Could have been any team. The most famous hooligan of the day, our very own Andy Nicholls, was at Heysel that day. Innocently viewing a game of another team I'm sure. English teams were banned because hooliganism was an English problem, not one teams problem. Italian hooliganism was right up there also and lasted much longer than here. Those missiles that Juve fans were throwing weren't innocently landing on rival fans. Or the knifing fom Roma fans the year prior. Some very blinkered views from people who weren't around then.

Only one team killed 39 fans. Liverpool fans, not Chelsea or us ffs.

 

[Kurt.]

Bringing a bit of sanity back.

Why were English teams banned as opposed to just one club?

Not a scooby do some of you lot. Get in contact with Andy Nicholls if you need enlightened.

Lad... you've read a book and you think you Bill Gardner ffs

I don't know what the County Road Cutters and racist Everton fans have to do with a bunch of murdering scumbag Liverpool fans.English teams were banned from Europe because 39 Juventus supporters were murdered by Liverpool supporters.Missile throwing Juventus fans and Roma fans with knives.You people are shameless.What happened happened end of story.39 people were killed and it was all shamelessly brushed under the carpet.

 

[Kurt.]

39 dead fans can't be wrong .

Don't even try and diminish the responsibility of Liverpool Football Club over the absolute tragedy of 39 INNOCENT PEOPLE DYING.

How did the City of Liverpool act towards the S*n and South Yorkshire Police? They quite rightly wanted justice for the massive atrocity caused by the Police, and the horrific smear by that red topped rag afterwards. Juventus fans and the families of the deceased are equally as entitled to the justice, compassion and sympathy as the families of the 96 - by washing your hands of the disaster, you are effectively giving the families of the Heysel disaster the middle finger.

It's not mentioned by them because they are ashamed. AND RIGHTLY SO. Pretending it didn't happen doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Scumbags.




Sorry, rant over.
