The 1985 European Cup final was an utter sham of a football match. It should obviously never have been played that night, and probably not at all. The match was engineered by the referee to give Juventus the victory, a sham penalty awarded before Livepool were denied as obvious a penalty as you will ever see when Ronnie Whelan sustained GBH in the box. Although given what had happened, that should have the least of anybodyâs worries.
The point is that Michel Platini and Juventus behaved that night and afterwards as if their sham victory in that sham match was the highlight of their careers.
They didnât give a fuck that 39 of their supporters had been killed.
Sort of tallies with the behaviour of both Platini as a man and Juventus as a club in subsequent years, doesnât it?
An even more bizarre post. A summary of the 1985 European Cup final that centres around the lack of integrity of the Italians and has no mention whatsoever of Liverpoolâs fans. Literally UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!
You want to argue about whether there was a dodgy penalty the night 39 Italians died because all the Liverpool fans rioted and attacked them and then collapsed a wall on them? Iâll leave you ponder that.
I donât give a shit that Liverpool lost that night. Nobody in Liverpool or who supports Liverpool does. Given the match went ahead (it shouldnât have), once it started it was for the best that Liverpool lost it. It was a sham match.
Youâre still not mounting any counter argument to what I have said about Platini and Juventus.
Which, Iâll repeat, amounts to your tacit acceptance of and agreement with the points.
If Platini thought that, thatâs even worse than celebrating as you would had 39 of your supporters not been killed.
Whatever, Platini and Juventus were of the opinion that football mattered above all that night. The truth was it didnât matter at all - it was a two fingers gesture to the dead that the match even went ahead.
The sort of mindset that could claim the outcome of that sham match as something to celebrate is mind boggling in its self centredness and lack of empathy.
As I said, that mindset was entirely in keeping with both Platiniâs corrupt behaviour as an individual and Juventusâs corrupt behaviour as a club in subsequent years.
It doesnât mate. Thatâs entirely in your head. Itâs more a case of âcome back here mrs Lincoln, I want to debate the play you went to seeâŚâ
