That's the part I don't get with the Hillsborough/Heysel/Munich hate songs and the forum and social media hate, the people who lost their lives in the tragedies/disasters i mentioned left behind loved ones and friends, the needless loss of life accidental or otherwise shouldn't be celebrated like it's a fun thing to do, it's disgusting and hurtful even all these years after they happened. The likes of Anne Williams and Margaret Aspinall are worth a million or more in love, strength, dignity and determination than the haters will ever be. JFT96
Hillsborough match commander fails to halt trial Lawyers for Hillsborough match commander David Duckenfield have failed in a bid to halt his prosecution. The ex-South Yorkshire Police chief superintendent is accused of manslaughter by gross negligence of 95 people who died in the 1989 disaster. Mr Duckenfield denies the charges and is due to stand trial on 14 January. An application to stay the prosecution made by Ben Myers QC was refused by judge Mr Justice Openshaw at Preston Crown Court. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-46465961
Still attempting every possible loophole in an desperate effort to wriggle out of facing the consequences of his actions... ****!!!
My main gripe is that Bettison managed to cover his tracks and dodge standing trial, hopefully one of the former officers standing trial for perverting the course of justice will implicate him and new charges are brought against him. I truly ****ing hate that part of my council tax goes towards his pension that he received after retiring early to help himself not face criminal charges for a case while he was West Yorkshire Chief Constable.
It's seriously wrong mate. Shame it'll take another **** taking a deal to get Bettison back in the firing line.
I read that he legally gets to keep his pension even if he is found guilty of a crime which was committed while he was still a serving officer. And yeah you're spot on about one of the lesser culprits benefitting from snitching on Bettison even though they themselves are partly responsible for ruining the lives of hundreds of family members of those that lost their lives at the hands of SYP/Sheffield Wed FC and others.
The older ones will take the fall for the rest as they are less likely to get a prison sentence. Deals will be done. It is far too late for real justice now.
the establishment will dish out a token punishment for them as if its some sort of ****ing justice for 30 odd years of bullshit! i just hope there is no ****ers after this has finished come out and say right done with now, no more talk!!! ****s should be embarrassed to come out with ****e like that!!!! i really should stop posting on this thread not doing me any good. (i will start headbutting keyboard soon )

Just realised the thread title is out of date too. Do I leave it, make it 29 or since its not long now anyway, change it to 30?
Maybe change it to 29 and then 30 on the anniversary?? Please God it won't need adding to after that.
