Didn’t take you for an establishment lackey.

When will they charge the drunken, ticketless yobs who crushed their fellow fans to death?

Do you base all your opinions on what you read in The Sun?

Hi m8

Talk about flogging a dead horse.

No.

If Liverpool fans formed an orderly queue and didn’t try and gain admission without tickets then there would have been no crush.

Keep burying your head in the sand, ostrich.

I suppose you think those kids who died at the disco in cookstown were responsible for their own deaths

I think the crowd who crushed them played a part.

Ticketless fans were not the reason for so many fatalities. Stop believing everything you read in the Sun, they have a habit of telling porkies to gullible simpletons.

Why were they trying to gain admission without tickets?

Liverpool fans have a history of mass murder in football stadiums.

The vast majority of people in Liverpool are unemployed and they couldn’t afford to buy a ticket. It’s a huge dump.

The robbed the dead and pissed on top of them. They don’t like hearing that particular fact

They weren’t.

They were.

Tory establishment lackey.

After the disaster, allegations emerged from “unnamed sources” - later established to be a Police Federation spokesman and the Sheffield Conservative MP, Irvine Patnick - claiming Liverpool supporters had “deliberately arrived late determined to force entry” to the ground.

What we know: While many Liverpool supporters did arrive after 14.30, evidence to the inquests suggested it was actually the police “failure to control the crowd” and “inadequate” turnstiles that led to the fatal crush.

The claim that fans had “deliberately arrived late” formed the basis of the “rock solid” defence South Yorkshire Police [SYP] sought to present at the 1989 Taylor inquiry into the disaster. The aim was to “deflect blame on to supporters” and exonerate the police.

The jury heard from former South Yorkshire Police inspector Clive Davis who recalled being told by former Ch Supt Terry Wain “to put the blame for this disaster where it belongs: on the drunken, ticketless Liverpool fans”. This was denied in evidence by Mr Wain. However, he admitted a report he prepared had exaggerated claims that “several thousand” spectators had arrived at the ground within minutes of kick-off.

The inquests heard the 10,100 fans with standing tickets for the Leppings Lane end were expected to enter through just seven turnstiles, causing congestion outside the ground.

Lord Justice Taylor, in his 1990 report into the disaster, concluded fans were reasonable to arrive between 14.30 and 14.40 as match tickets only requested people be in their places “15 minutes before the game”. He was also satisfied that the large concentration of fans who gathered Leppings Lane at 14.40 to 14.50 “did not arrive as a result of any concerted plan”.

The timing of this stinks. How long before Boris comments about scouse victim hood mentality are brought into the mainstream media reporting of this.
