course he is on a wind up

clearly shocked his lifelong belief that Liverpool fans caused it turns out to be not true.

well most fans knew it wasnt true just those who liked to use it as "banter"

Here you go Pootle, got the st.john's ambulance bit wrong maybe.

Legal representatives for the families said that South Yorkshire police, Sheffield city council and Sheffield Wednesday FC could all face charges for corporate manslaughter.


Well the police certainly could, I suspect the council and sheff wed, it will depend on their complicity regarding the safety certificate issue etc
I suspect the FA could be in **** too.

What I dont see in your quote there, is anything that mentions compensation.
Corporate manslaughter simple refers to holding a body responsible rather than an individual.

Anyway, if you want to believe the families are motivated by compensation that is up to you. I know for fact its not true in regards of those I know.

Some people still believe the earth is flat, irrespective of scientific evidence, as such it doesnt surprise me that someone on the internet will hold views that are baseless, especially when it comes to football

on the contrary

if you think thats the only outcome from pursuing a company legally then its your intelligence that should be questioned

The reason they want to hold a body responsible is to get compensation, it is the elephant in the room, it will become ever more visible to even the likes of yourself.

so to sum up

- you think the only reason to take legal action against a company is money
- the only evidence you have that money is part of the motive here is your opinion

i dont think it takes a genius to see how poor a point youre making here

thanks for making it so clear tho

ok then raj I will humour you, why would they go after a body rather than the match commander whom most people would suspect was the main culprit.

all completely vague, clearly it is the first shot in a claim for compensation.

Have you ever lost a loved one in this sort of situation? The reason I ask is you give me the impression,by your replies,that something like this has happened to you but you weren`t able to make a claim.

No disrespect intended just an impression you give out.

The Immediate Aftermath

The Media Reaction

Surprisingly one of the most offensive reports came from much closer to home, the Liverpool Daily Post. An article written by John Williams and entitled: "I blame the yobs" warrants extensive quoting:

    So it was at Hillsborough that the yobs made enough nuisance of themselves to convince the police that so-called gates of Hell were opened… the gatecrashers wreaked their fatal havoc. At best it was unfettered zeal. At worst it was uncontrolled fanaticism and mass hysteria which literally squeezed the life out of men, women and children. This was yobbism at its most base. People without tickets who had no right to be there were crushing to death their fellow Scousers. When it comes to apportioning blame, the accusatory finger can also be pointed at Liverpool. Scouse killed Scouse for no better reason than 22 men were kicking a ball.

Given that this journalist was working locally you might think that he would be more likely to have his finger on the pulse. Apparently not.

Neither was this some bizarre response to a disaster, written in a state of shock. In spite of a barrage of complaints the author stood "by every word with no apology". In fact he went on to write a second article reaffirming the contents of the first and also referring to "those who so thoughtlessly took lives away".

thebetterbettor,
obviously this fellow wasn't at the Wolves v Spurs semi in 1981.
when a wall collapsed under the crush from Spurs fans.
at the front of the leppings lane end.
don't give me journalist versions of events, as a football fan at that time i KNOW what things were like.
including how the cops dealt with large crowds.
the author of those articles should now be hanging his head in shame.
