What a shocking set of lies. We all knew there was more to it than this. I suspected it was a catalogue of errors along the way, one bad decision led to another, led to another and then too late. I'm not sure what could have been done to prevent this, but the scale of the cover up and the finger being pointed in other direction is shocking. I won't tar all of the current Sun reporters with the same brush, more specifcally Mackenzie and the journalists at the time, they'll be hanging their heads in shame (or will they??) quote:
ORIGINAL: horribleives Though it's worth remembering I'm talking about people on the internet with the least to say and the loudest voices here, most of whom never went to a game in the '80s and haven't a fucking clue what it was like to be penned in and treated like animals. To be fair, and I'm not trying starting an argument here, but I stood in Kop ends for most of the 80's, and I'd say there were far more than their fair share of "animals". I've been crushed, trod on, pissed on and elbowed nearly unconscious by 80's "football" hooligans, non-fans who didn't give a shit about the football or the supporters. Even the stewards used to tell us we were taking "our lives in our own hands" queueing up for Leicester's Kop 2 (or 3 depending on the size of the away following) Multiply that by about 10 and you have the scale of the problem on that tragic day.
