Union Jacked:
"Deaths involving English football fans, 96 died in Hillsborough, 39 died in Heysel Stadium in Belgium, both disasters involved Liverpool fans..."
I will just point out the context of those statistics to those who do not know it, or may have forgotten.
The Heysel Stadium disaster happened in a European Cup Final in Brussels. A group of thugs commenced fighting and the vast majority of Liverpool fans tried to get out of the way. The wall did not collapse where the fighting took place. It collapsed where the pressure of hundreds of fans - who were trying to get away from it - pressed against a wall, which could not withstand the pressure. Italian fans on the other side of the wall were suffocated.
Yes, there was fighting by a small group of human detritus, but what were the other fans to do?
Blaming Liverpool fans for the Hillsborough disaster is beneath contempt. They were at the Sheffield Wednesday ground for an FA Cup semi final, when a fire broke out. They were the victims of a terrible disaster - and probably poor crowd handling.
Associating distrait families with thugs says more about cliched prejudice than it does about football fans.
