Had an employee at that game. He had to take 5 weeks fully paid sick leave due to the mental stress of what happened.

Turned out they were not involved in any of the chaos outside and had no issues getting in. He was in the ground an hour before kick off. The ‘stress’ was because he was aware that something was going on outside which triggered fears of Hillsborough, despite being born years after the tragedy.

I don’t claim to know how the disaster affects Liverpool fans but I struggled to understand that one.

you employed a dipper then couldn't understand why he took 5 weeks fully paid sick leave?
 
The local ITV news tonight states some speculation about 'potential loss of life'! Nobody died so why are we hearing a report about 'potential' happenings' News is what has happened, not what might but didn't happen. I wonder if it's all to inflate the 'compo'! I await a report at the end of the season that the Dippers had the 'potential' to win the title!

It was locals jibbing in according to Sky. That lad wearing the suit and the fake UEFA ID who posted on Twatter gloating how he got in had a strange Parisian accent.

I think Pep's apology to slippy today was proper shithousery, if I caused distress to his family lol, go on Pep

Probably already mentioned (haven’t read back) it sounded like he was doubling down on the Levy quotes to me, whilst apologising to slippy, after all the squealing in the press from Levy loyalists, either way I thought it was classic shithousery from Pep

Lord Pannick: Meet the lawyer representing Boris Johnson and Manchester City

How a Lord and lawyer for Boris Johnson came to be celebrated by football fans.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

“Over the course of his career he has represented clients including Topshop owner Sir Philip Green; Shamima Begum, the teenager who ran away to join Islamic State; and former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.”

Can’t for the life of me see an agenda here. They’re just reporting the facts, for goodness’ sake: his clients have included a scumbag capitalist, a traitor, an ex-PM who’s not very popular any more, and a Premier League football club.

Debbie Purdy and Gina Miller however do not quite sit into the agenda of this piece, so these former clients of Lord Pannick less easily painted as out-and-out wrong ‘uns have been omitted, for reasons of space.

Point being, Lord Pannick KC is a hired gun. He’s not been hired by City because all the clients he chooses to defend are folk we believe are innocent, or folk we believe have a case against the government, or because he was at York away, but because he’s good at what he does. If this thicko on a football fan forum can see that, why can’t the national news medium of record?

The article has been written by one of the beebs politico's as he's a peer. Your critisms re the selection of Pannicks previous clients is spot on.

Just a bit irritating that the state funded national broadcaster finds it increasingly difficult to report factually on a relatively staid, niche subject such as the legal wranglings over football finance.

In other news everything we reported at the World Cup is bullshit as the Qataris might be taking over stretford. Plus ca change as they don't say in ligue un.
