I have always known tbh & said it on here.
I too felt strongly that the Police etc should be made to account for their disgraceful actions, but I also know that the reason the police started treating football supporters that way, in general, is because they, & the Govt, lumped the normal fans in with the utter fucking scum which every club had amongst their support, who they had to control on a weekly basis.
Liverpool though, were on another level for scumminess with only really the rags as competition, & it's always pissed me off, that whilst lamenting the tragedy of those families, we have to pretend that there weren't a load of pissed up utter scum, contributing to the disaster, by occupying the attention of the police, behaving like a fair percentage of Liverpool fans usually do on such occasions.
And in the same circumstances, the same ilk, would do exactly the same thing again & wouldn't give a single thought to any families or kids in a stand they couldn't see, as evidenced by these brain dead morons chucking flares & bottles at a coach, surrounded by their own supporters.
One misses, hits a kid 'not my fault, i'll go to the protest afterwards & blame someone for not stopping me'.
