Hillsborough match commander charged with manslaughter...

Disrespectful ****er.

 

Meant rip

 

28 years its taken

The establishment never wanted it to get this far, but for the courage, determination and persistence of the families it would all have been swept under the carpet.
How many will do jail time. Probably none of them.

 

Incredible will and resolve to keep fighting against the whole might of the establishment and their disgusting cover up attempts.

Justice will be served, better late than never.

Take note those circling around Grenfell.

 

Maybe not the day for it, but hey ho, what rankles with me is the way the Hillsborough families are so against safe standing areas. Football is a completely different environment to then, controlled turnstiles, no fences, more modern stadia. An allocated seat/standing space. More stewards than you can shake a stick at.

 

Can you image a travesty like this taking place in some dodgy, third world country...The BBC (Panorama) would have made a documentary about it. Because it happened in this country and the establishment ordered a cover-up. £uck all was said and done.

 

Au 1

Nonsense if you ask me

 

Nobody is asking you BrAdY because you clearly know nothing about it

 

Dodgy third world country? Massive, major ones as well. Easy to cover up when the media is state controlled even if the main paper's name means "Truth".

There's been load of documentaries in the mainstream media about this in the last three decades, I'd go as far as to say its probably the most highly publicised stadium disaster in British media history, many more have died in countless stadium disasters across the globe and they are quite quickly forgotten by the British media.

 

I agree. Maybe its lack of knowledge, maybe its just denial, but for them to object to safe standing on the basis of what happened to their loved ones is inaccurate. Standing at football and the proposed safe standing areas have nothing to do with what happened on that sad day.

 

For those who were involved in any cover ups, and that should extend to politicians (Maggie) and media they should throw away the key and rot in prison.
I'm still getting my head around those who made poor decisions on the day. Any thoughts?

 

I agree, it feels like those that made mistakes on the day are taking the blame for not only what happened but for the cover up as well. They should be treated separately, those on trial should be only be judged on what happened that day, the lies and cover ups should not feature (unless they were directly involved), separate charges should be brought against those that covered it up.

 

I was there that day, and originally it was all the fault of the fans, now it's all the fault of the police. Mix the two, then add in the F.A. and Sheffield Wednesday, and you have the reason why Hillsborough happened. That is all.

 

I suspect some will go down, Duckenfield will be a tough one, listening to a lawyer who was an expert in this type of case on the radio, it will have hard to prove that what he did was not what he felt at the time the best course of action.

However the cover up of statements being altered etc to point the blame at the fans will certainly get punished if proved it happened.

 

That John sums it up. I do know Duckensfield is a broken man. Has he suffered enough? If he thought 'they're only scousers who gives a ****?, and I'm off shift in a couple of hours', then yes.

 

Duckenfield lied to try and cover his back. Not sure if that's a crime, but it's a twat's trick.

 

I can't see any of them doing jail term because most of them are OAP's. If they don't do jail term they've got away with it.

The one about the guy who was club sec at SWFC is interesting. Surely, then the FA ie Graham Kelly should be up before the peek because the FA choose Hillsborough to host the game, not SW.

 

Then if proven, then surely throw away the key?
