Of course they will dedicate the day to that.

That was a horrific day. The vision of that man burning still haunts me.

Could see the smoke from where I lived up tops in Huddersfield and remember going home to seeing grandstand relay what was going on live. Sickening.

It was like something from a horror movie! People lied on the turf smouldering.

I brought it up with my scouse mate when he was crowing aver their 'atmosphere' outside the ground with flares going off everywhere - they're pissing fireworks at the end if the day and all this during thier marking of the Hillsborough disaster - brain dead some people.

Approximately one hour before the Juventus-Liverpool final was due to kick off, a large group of Liverpool fans breached a fence separating them from a "neutral area" which contained mostly Juventus fans. They ran back on the terraces and away from the threat into a concrete retaining wall. Fans already seated near the wall were crushed; eventually the wall collapsed. Many people climbed over to safety, but many others died or were badly injured.

I wonder how some of the families of the 39 that were killed by Liverpool supporters feel about the lenient sentences dished out to the guilty ??

My point is , I'm sick and tired of bindippers painting themselves as innocents all the time...they can fuck off as far as I'm concerned as they have ZERO class.

Well said. It is unfortunate this happened but if have to sit through the news one more time with some dipper saying they just want answers for the 19383820 time I will go to off com.

Credit to the Hillsborough families for ensuring the tragedy is part of the world footballing consciousness. Unfortunately, the tragedies at Heysel, Bradford, Ibrox, etc. are comparatively unheard of over here. Likewise the Torino air disaster as compared to the profile of the Munich crash. At least that's my anecdotal experience.

I suspect there are quite a number of narcissistic supporters who see their own club's catastrophe as an avatar for all footballing tragedy, and indeed all tragedy in general. Last week Robbie Mustoe (who is doing some fairly prominent punditry on NBC over here) compared Hillsborough to the Boston Marathon terrorist attack. No one questions inane shit like this because they don't want to be seen as insensitive to a legitimately tragic event.

There are apocryphal stories, and then there are purely unpleasant and crappy ones. What does it matter if someone can or can't name fans who have died? Does it make you a lesser fan because you haven't sat down like a ghoul and learned the names of everyone who has died in a disaster?

Truly bizarre.

The most haunting, scariest and most psychologically awful thing I've ever seen related to football. I'm just "glad" it was on a video I saw it and not in real life. Poor, poor bloke.
