A lot of us will remember what it was like going to football in the mid eighties, Crumbling stadia, Stewards with no mandate and police who basically thought we were #$%$ Even as a small boy following my team Tranmere i can remember being crushed, trampled on, pushed around by police and barriers breaking even recall nearly being hit by a piece of stand roof. These poor 96 souls unfortunately encountered all these factors on a much bigger scale than i did. The F.A. semi final was a big deal in 85 and yes maybe there where people without tickets, and probably quite a few had a pint or two. But sadly all the shortcomings of going to the match 80s style came to the fore for these people and they paid the ultimate price. Then it seems everyone involved in the matchday failings tried to cover there own backs. The shadow of Heysel made the LFC fans an easy target and for 23 years they carried it with them. At last answers, now for justice. RIP the 96

I have always thought of Liverpool as a pity city that thrives on grief and doesn't like criticism. This independent report is unbiased so I hope that it will put the matter to rest. Does anyone in Liverpool ever talk about Heysel Stadium disaster?

"put the matter to rest"... are you mad...it has now been disclosed that 41 people were still alive after the official death time of 3.15....if the ambulances and other medical people had been allowed to tend to the dying , the death toll might of been lower,. Dont you think thats worth investigating?.

OI am not mad no. I just think life is too short to be looking for people to blame. Whatever happens in the future won't change the past is all I am saying. There was the Ibrox football stadium disaster in Glasgow in 1971 in which 66 people died. I bet there's a lot of people who forgotten that one and many more who have never heard about it.
