Thanjk you.

Anyone that has sponsors that have funded the taliban and Alquieda gets a pat on the arse from deloony, nostrils Harris, the FA, the Premier League and uefa.
The British press will totally ignore the fact it happens as they don't want to upset the tramps and be accused of telling the truth.
They've always had problems dealing with THE TRUTH at that club.
I actually just emailed Blue Moon about the the TRUTH post.
My email:
Comments: Hi Ric,
I'm Mark a father of 2 young supporters of a team that has a fantastic
rivalry with your own beloved Manchester City. A rivalry that we will all
talk about, I am sure, for the rest of our days.
At times it is pretty toxic rivalry, which in my mind is unnecessary from
both sides, but there you go, we all support in different ways. I was made
aware of the below comments on this site, which obviously concern this great
rivalry.
I wonder if there is a way to point contributors on your site to the greater
Truth on this particular issue, one that all football supporters should be
on the same page? Society learned a lesson that day, and we can all envisage
scenarios where if we had been born in a different, place or era we might
have been there.
I was 14 at the time, and was not there, but have grown up as the story
unfolded.
From the Liverpool thread on the forum.

Anyway, no idea if this will even register as you may get 100's of emails.
Hope you enjoy the rest of the season, we both want different outcomes, but
this sort of competition is what it is all about.
All the best,

Hi Mark
Thanks for your email, and for flagging those posts. They have now been
removed from the forum, and we certainly don't condone those views.
There have been numerous threads over the years on the forum on the subject
of Hillsborough, and the majority of users are well educated and respectful
when discussing it. We know that Liverpool fans weren't culpable for what
happened that day, and that the subsequent cover up (by the media, police
and government) was a national disgrace. However, there will always be a
minority of idiots with some fairly odious views on the issue and,
unfortunately, they often shout the loudest.
There have been initiatives from City supporter groups to increase awareness
surrounding Hillsborough (such as this
illsborough-liverpool-23725880) which will hopefully make a difference.
I agree that the rivalry is getting pretty toxic between the clubs, which is
a shame as it's two great footballing sides. I think tensions are running
fairly high at the moment with everything that is going on, and there are
obviously some on the forum who have an intense dislike of Liverpool as a
club and a fanbase. To be fair, I see a lot of vitriol aimed at City fans on
Liverpool forums/social media too. I guess that's the nature of online
discourse these days. Everything is pretty polarised and extreme.
Enjoy the rest of the season mate.
Cheers,
Ric
Hi Ric,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Its so good to know there are people out there like yourself running the site, I post on a pretty small Liverpool site which I guess is fairly easy to moderate and manage, but I am aware that sites like Blue Moon and Liverpool sites like RAWK have vast amounts of subscribers that it is impossible to moderate and control all of the content.
Again, I know as a fact that any true supporters of any club will understand the Truth of what happened that day, and it is nice to remind myself through the links you provided that yourself and other City supporters have helped create awareness. Every club sadly has an element of the fan base that drag the rest down.
As you say the wider issue of how we begin to introduce any sort of respect in online discourse is one that neither you or I are likely to solve!
Take it easy mate, cheers for taking the time to respond and also, enjoy the rest of the season… but not too much.
We disagree on certain things from time to time Buzzmeister but you are a goodun
Ah cheers mate. I just read all the content about how this sort of commentary from opposition support is on the rise and that comment really stuck in the craw.
This site is 99% 'good eggs' imo. I just couldn't post on a site that had the levels of vitriol you see on the ones we highlight. Its a 1 in 10 normal to psycho post ratio out there.
