Precisely.
I donât like the blaming and finger pointing that the Liverpool fans have engaged in, they should have some introspection on the behaviour of their own fans that day.
The ticketless fans rumour pedalled by the police and The Sun has been proven false in the inquiry.

Itâs not a rumour.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel (HIP) report concluded crowd congestion outside the stadium was ânot caused by fans arriving lateâ for the kick-off . The turnstiles, it said, were âinadequate to process the crowd safelyâ and the rate of entry insufficient to prevent a dangerous build-up outside the ground.
What the jury said: The behaviour of Liverpool supporters did not cause or contribute to the dangerous situation at the Leppings Lane turnstiles.

Another failing of the British justice system.
Did they investigate the pushing and surging of the Liverpool crowd while queuing for entry?
Anyone over 15 actively supporting an English soccer team needs their head examined.

The facts are there for all to see. Hillsborough wasnât capable of holding such a match. Duckenfield had no experience of dealing with such an occasion nor had he knowledge of the ground. Buffoons wondering why there was a crush when the police, on the instructions of Duckenfield, herded them all to their deaths.
Why wasnât it capable of holding big games?
Because 96 died at a big match there.
Had it held big matches before?
Yes and there was a massive crush. They avoided deaths by opening the gates, unlike under Duckenfield watch where they left the fans to suffocate.
Just googled it. Big games were played there regularly
Had Liverpool played there in a big game previously
Just googled it
Yes
Any one die in those games?
Just googled it
No
Open and shut so
Heâs blinded by love
I was there as a kid at Hillsbrough for the 1981 FA Cup semi final between Spurs and Wolves. Serious crush at the Leppings Lane End after Steve Archibald gave Spurs an early lead. A miracle there wasnât fatalities. What happened in April 1989 was a tragedy waiting to happen for years in a ground not fit for purpose.
