Hillsborough

[Liverpool]

HFSG have voted against rail seating, HJC have no stance and are open to debate.

I think the causes and problems of Hillsborough have nothing to do with what rail seating provides but its the obvious association.

Standing in seating areas now can be dangerous. Also the nonsense of people wanting to stand and people wanting to sit in the same section. Give people the choice, if you buy a seat you sit.

SOS detractors are using this as another stick to beat them with saying they dont speak for all fans, but they are just bringing the debate to the forefront and asking for opinion.

I'd say the vast majority of match going fans want this but it will be no time soon at Anfield.

I think its good we're at the heart of the debate, its something the game has started moving towards and it's fitting we're involved. I know it's a very emotive subject but for me, times are different now, safety and accountability have never been at a higher level and I believe it can and probably should be introduced into the game.

The content of the story doesn't align with that title, I think someone got that a bit wrong!

Predictably, various ****s commenting on Twitter about our fans.

This will be one of the biggest conspiracies in our living memory.

I have no doubt the south yorks police, the FA, sheffield wednesday officials, sheffield council, thatcher and most of her cabinet, various bellends at the home office, merseyside police (possibly) and maybe some if the press have colluded and planned to shift the blame and cover their tracks, changing statements and trying to rewrite history to change the narrative.

Read the Hillsborough Independent Panel report and the documents released it's all covered in there

One thing that intrigues me with Hillsborough is how far up the chain of command the cover up went.

It's hard to believe all of this deceit was unilateral, and it will be interesting if any political intervention is mentioned once the trial breaks. It will also be interesting if the accused take the stands themselves and how they attempt to portray the actions taken on the day and subsequently.

It's hard not to suspect that there is a can of worms waiting to be opened up.

Woke up this morning and saw this all over Twitter. Great news. Staggering that it's taken the better part of 30 years to get this far.

[Fosterbloke]

I suspect they will wait till the outcome of the trial before they do that



Might be seen as prejudicial

Oh yeah of course after the trial, I'm assuming he's guilty.

Good luck enforcing that given the column inches this case has received particularly over the last few years.

Long overdue, I imagine that the court case will take months, while we now have the truth, it looks like justice may take longer.

Am I right in thinking that the reason there are 95 charges of manslaughter and not 96 are due to the 'year and a day' rule which would have been law at the time?

Ye the cps said with being so long,by law they couldn't charge him with 96.
