Football Discussion

...yet the government still claim they need "more time" to create a decent Hillsborough Law.
"We believe more time is needed to draft the best version of the law."
Cobblers.
"Officials of all organisations must engage and cooperate with such inquiries and tell the truth."
That'll do.
Yep who'd of thought getting people the public are supposed to trust to look after them to agree to tell the truth would be so difficult...
 
It was 5th birthday party that day. My old man and my uncle went. I can remember it being on the Tele when we got back, it would have been around that time I first took notice of Liverpool Football Club. I was plonked in front of the Tele at kick off. Was promptly removed when an adult walked back in the room. Sound of a phone ringing followed by "thank god your ok" was herd from the kitchen. He told me not so long back, some women allowed several people to use her phone for 10p a pop.

Football is a different beast to what it was then. If memory serves me well, the BBC showed it on BBC2 and preferred the snooker on BBC1. Hillsborough changed everything. It forced football to look at it's self. Forced changes in policy and policing. Created a world of safe stadium. It's a shame that took 39 deaths at Heysel. 56 at Bradford and 97 at Hillsborough.

We need this law. I had the unfortunate situation where I was talking to a police lawyer, who was representing Bettison and he boasted that the families do not have a leg to stand on because the system will win. And it has. Thatcher really had SYP backs, after the cracking job at Orgreave. The similarities in the cover ups are incredible.
