    I have many friends at work that are going to have to listen to me sing praise for the Squirrel until it becomes rather boring.

    At last some closure for the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died at Hillsborough. The truth has came out today after 23 years

    The Police changed some of the reports from the incident. Shameful

    I personally think now the truth is out there for everyone it should now be left it the past because now there are calls for a new government inquiry.I think people should just remember the 96 fans who died and learn the lessons from it.

    Can understad your comments Proud, but I think the relatives of those who died may disagree.

    The same thing would likely happen again if there was such a situation. The establishment is very good at protecting itself and covering its own inadequacies, even if it means passing the buck to the victims, as they did in this case. And we can dismiss this as happening in the past, but it was still a dirty secret (even though we all knew) up to last week. They've only revealed everything down because all the key authority figures have mostly likely retired on their fat pensions, and there's no one left to be sacked.

    I hope the families see this as only the start. The apology is a admission of guilt. The guilty should be punished, whether they are part of the elite or not.

    With reference to your new signature Super, TedLloyd is actually a very good poster.

    Totally agree - the Police even took blood samples from 10 year olds in attempts to find traces of alcohol! - if it was your relatives you would want the whole truth to come out - justice should NEVER be time barred... and it should not be stopping at 'Senior' Police Officers .. the 'stink' here floats way above that .. I was a lot younger then but still recall the immediate verbal response from the then 'Minister Of Sport' Colin Moynahan - whose qualifications for that particular post and the overseeing of our national game appear seem to have been solely that he had been the cox for one of his University rowing teams - 'cox' is pretty close to my opinion of him. Those of us that stood on the terraces at our own clubs have always known that this was one of the biggest cover ups of the twentieth century - thank God the truth is now coming out but my fear is that there will be a number of 'sacrificial lambs' sacrificed rather than rooting out those really culpable.... rant over!!!!!!

    I'm afraid this is exactly what will happen. One of the chief police officers they tried to prosecute in 2000 is already dead. At best, it be a handful of ex-plods that face criminal charges. Naturally, then-members of the Government that green-lighted and perpetuated the cover up, the judges and members of the CPS that aided them and the ex-newspaper editors that so happily blamed there own readers of committing appallingly indecent crimes will all be safe.

    Good luck to him.

    Suprised it's only for a month, hopefully they'll extend if he does well.

    It's just as sad how he's worshiped by the same amount.

    He's not good enough.

    It doesnt matter, he shouldnt have been treated like he was because some fans didnt rate him. Players who give there all should never ever be booed by their own fans

    If every player gives everything they have but we still lose I will clap them off the pitch and be proud to support the team.

    Yeah but when has Gallagher ever put in a huge amount of effort? He runs less than Beckford IMO.

    Nah, he mopes around on the wing and pussys out of anything remotely close to a tackle/header/block.

    He doesn't run a lot either, his attitude towards the physical side of the game is non existent. Which is why he failed in the PL.

    No player deserves to get booed and to have personal abuse thrown at him merely because he is not very good - agreed - but Gally has probably never given 'his all' in any football match - so I can understand why he is not exactly a fan's favourite ... he's a petulant one -trick pony who, IMHO, has rarely justified a starting place during his time with us ..

    Gally rarely put a shift in .. but I guess it comes down to who is defining 'shift' for these purposes ... if a shift is taking set pieces, sometimes woefully (his corners rarely beat the nearest defender) but with a good track record on penalties and scoring directly from free kicks then he did that...

    .. but if it also includes tracking back, not bottling 99% of challenges, not getting booked for petulant fiouls and gobbing off to officials and actually putting in a performance for the team, then he fails most of the time...

    He would be great ...................................................... as a kicker in American football.
