At the time, the behaviour of a significant number of football supporters was dreadful- pissed-up lairy idiots turning up late and pushing to get in was not an uncommon phenomenon. Combine that with general incompetence from Plod, crappy old grounds like Hillsborough and there's your answer. The ones who died did so partly at the hands of their fellow supporters. They can't blame the whole thing upon<br />Dibble, the gummint, the FA or the rest of the world. The disgusting behaviour of several hundred cocky knobheads tanked up on the local fighting bitter/lager played a pivotal role.They just refuse to accept that fact though, being natives of The World Capital Of Self Pity, and they just love the smell of burning martyr.<br /><br />You'll never hear a word of apology for Heysel from them, either.Private Widdle.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-25350355181554393752011-08-29T13:22:15.336+01:002011-08-29T13:22:15.336+01:00My prominent memory of being mugged in Liverpool w...My prominent memory of being mugged in Liverpool was the friendliness of the affair.<br /><br />A well known brewery had commissioned my firm to carry out a noise survey and we were greeted at the gate by Union Reps. The Reps enquired if we had remembered to bring 'courtesy items' in the way of golf accessories. They were kind enough to provide directions to the nearest sports shop to which a car (and cash) were quickly dispatched.<br /><br />I try to be philosophical about such things and there can be little doubt that Liverpool's unique culture was forged in its many hardships. I remain very fond of the people and I still have a sneaky admiration for those cheeky Reps.MTGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-50315645234541467052011-08-29T11:45:07.152+01:002011-08-29T11:45:07.152+01:00I'd love to see Mrs O'Hagan with a thermom...I'd love to see Mrs O'Hagan with a thermometer placed in her bladder while she reads http://www.sickipedia.org/search/1/?q=Hillsborough.<br /><br /><i>To understand the Hillsborough disaster, one must first understand the context in which it happened.

The pubs near the football ground did a good trade before the game (though that may always be so) and rumour had it there were a lot of forged tickets on offer in Liverpool for the day.<br /><br />The decision by some late arrivals to 'rush' the turnstiles as kick off approached caused the fatal police decision to let them in to the ground to stop a crush outside. A bad decision as it turned out: the Tories had introduced legislation because of footy fans inside grounds to put up fences (part of the impetus for this was among other things the Heysal stadium disaster in Brussels, involving er... Liverpool fans a few years before)<br /><br />The decision too to put the Liverpool fans at one end of the ground rather than the larger Kop end was a mistake too. But I think this was to do with access; the Forest fans could more easily disperse from the Kop end.<br /><br />In the end there were reports of Liverpool fans, tanked by alcohol, behaving badly as help went to the crushed people. I wasn't there, but I heard tales that were chilling.<br /><br />But the feeling among non-Liverpool fans was that this tragedy was not helped by Liverpudlians pushing to get in at kick off and more concerned before hand with getting a drink or two. <br /><br />Cynics may also say that in the end it was not the police or the FA or Sheffield Wednesday (who provided the ground as a neutral venue) but Liverpool fans who killed other Liverpool fans. That however, will never be said and can never be admitted.<br /><br />Liverpool needed to blame everyone else and there were terrible choices made before and during the events. But no one asked their supporters to push their way in as the game kicked off and caused the terrible crushing.<br /><br />But Liverpool, as one Merseysider once told me, is a naturally occurring outcrop of cynicism on a sea of sentimentality. I have a feeling that will be very apparent when the demanded 'debate' takes place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-42146097378170764182011-08-29T11:22:04.522+01:002011-08-29T11:22:04.522+01:00"I’ll spare you my thoughts on the quality of..."<i>I’ll spare you my thoughts on the quality of the DNA of the average Liverpudlian.
