They and the media went overboard when congratulating themselves over winning the magnificent second place romantic and moral victors cup. I will do the same if Spurs give them a well earned battering in the final.

Even the rags had more class when we pipped them in 2012, this is probably the only time I've heard a GPC interview with a big fook off grin on my face savouring the hurt he's got inside.

So many of the adjectives Barry Davies uses to describe the Liverpool fans that day, are still as true today.

34 years ago to the day I arrived in Spain to start a new life. Little did I realise that there would be such an outburst of anger towards the English after the tragic events in Brussels. The following day I was in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid for a mass demonstration against what had happened, and it was difficult for me to explain (with my limited knowledge of the language back then) that not all English football suppporters were the same as the scum who had been responsible for so many deaths the previous evening.

Always the victims! RIP the 39.

I've never actually watched the footage from the match before. I can't believe there are still people defending them and making excuses for them. Some moron in the comments section claiming it was an accident. It's an accident in the same way that punching someone in the face and them falling and smashing their head is an accident. And that would get you a murder conviction too. Unless he's too thick to know the difference between Heysel and Hillsborough. But I guess you couldn't blame a young scouser for only having heard of one of them given that Heysel never gets mentioned.

I've gotta say I know commentators and pundits get a lot of stick, but they all handled that terrible situation brilliantly.
 
Chatting to a very old mate of mine last night, from Liverpool, season ticket holder. He's a top lad, was the first to text me to congratulate us after we beat Brighton, and even though he's not too fond of city at the minute, he understands it's purely just because of the current rivalry. He follows Liverpool all over the shop, but has decided not to go to Madrid because of the number of dicks following the club at the moment, and he's worried it's going to be nasty. As he said, he was there in Istanbul in 2005 (I helped him get a ticket), he's had his european dream day out and doesn't need this. Pretty mad hearing him say that.

Has that bloke who pushed someone in the fountain and then was caught pulling the pants of a steward down a few weeks later (someone in charge of one of the supporters clubs, I believe) been given a travel ban for the final? Bet he hasn't even though he's been caught on video twice.
 
I still remember watching this live as in those days the European finals were shown on mainstream tv. At first it just appeared another scrap on the terraces, of which there were many in those days. It soon became apparent though that something catastrophic was unfolding before our eyes. As the game was delayed and the images flooded in it was truly horrific to witness. It was shameful in my opinion that the game went ahead.

Rest in peace all those who died that day and I hope the injured have recovered as well as possible, although the mental scars will always remain.

Shame on Liverpool football club and their supporting media for trying to totally airbrush this tragedy from history, as tough as it is for them to be associated with it.

Yep. And Nick Hornby made the point in Fever Pitch that not only did it go ahead, but that tv televised it AND we watched it.

What were we all thinking?
 
To me the most shocking thing was that, even after the bodies were piled up, scousers were still rioting , throwing stuff at police etc etc.

I have a couple of friends in Madrid who are going to be dealing with these twats over the weekend. One is a policia nacional, the other a guardia civil. They will NOT accept any form of unruly behaviour; in other words, watch out you vile scum!
