    27 years on and the truth finally pops its head out of hibernation. Hope The Sun is properly embarrassed...

    If your brains were explosives you wouldn't have enough to blow the top of your head off.

    Go chuck yourself in a skip

    I have just been listening to some of the personal accounts from family and people who witnessed the unfolding of this tragedy first hand, and it really brought it home to me...

    I think you meant queue.

    Such amazing wit btw, did you come up with that all by yourself? <laugh>

    As for who the 'scum' is here, I'll leave that for others to judge.

    Police strayed from procedure by removing outer protective ring which was suppose to filter crowd. Football had been warned that there was thousand of counterfeit ticket floating around Merseyside in the week before the game. Delays on M62 delayed LFC fans so pressure was huge and crowd uncontrollable. A decision that is now being used to vilify them.

    Undoubtedly police decision contributed to tragedy but they were not the only ones but are the ones who can be brought to account. The politicians and journalist that contributed to the aftermath are out of reach so police carry can.

    In hindsight it would have been better to have kept the outer ring and delay the LFC crowd but for how long before the police were overwhelmed by an angry crowd. The jury could not return any other decision, but the contributing factors have been deemed irrelevant nearly thirty years on.Hillsborough was a tragedy that was waiting to happen but mainly through football crowd behaviour that had become more uncontrollable over the previous twenty years.

    Now to cap it all off I have just watched a bunch of supporters stand in their colours and sing the anthem as if the decision was a victory for LFC rather than the sufferers. Not very dignified.

    Oh and maybe they chose to sing that anthem today as the words are poignant as a symbol of the 27 years of strife they've had to go through to achieve the truth of what happened when their loved ones went to an LFC GAME and never returning being being proven once and for all - and it was the victims families singing it..........

    I accept their suffering was unnecessary but there was more factors to the event and the attempted cover up than was shown at the inquest. My point was that the verdict should be seen as closure and justice and not a victory for football supporters. Human dignity over tribal football support.

    Let's face it, this was a tragic disaster, and it could have happened on any one of those old football grounds, Roker Park and St James' included.
    In those days it was common knowledge that if you didn't have a ticket for an all ticket game you could slip the bloke on the turnstile a few bob and he would let you in, no problem, I've done it many times at both grounds.
    The Roker End had solid concrete barriers and when the crowd surged it was a nightmare if you happened to be the one leaning on the barrier.
    How on earth there weren't hundreds of people with crushed ribs I'll never know
    The old grounds were death traps and Hillsborough was the culmination of it all.
    Best thing ever to happen was the all seater stadiums and the idiots who stand up all the time should be thrown out in my opinion.

    It was, your comment was the complete converse, as you patently didn't realise it was the victims families singing it and you made a daft tribalist comment.

    Do some f**kers on here not get the cover up thing ffs. Ok there was mistakes made they happen BUT IT WAS DELIBERATELY COVERED UP and there was a concerted effort made by the establishment including their fleet street pals that the truth did not come out (and an available scapegoat was available which they used). This has far wider implications for our society or is that too complex to work out <doh>
