David Silva's Armband

Faux outrage was abundant on here a week or two back when I posted the same opinions on a different thread.

Squirty faux outrage

There have been other tragedies that dont seem to get a mention in the media or remembrance days such as Bradford 11 May 1985, killing 56 and injuring at least 265. Or 29 May 1985 when escaping fans were pressed against a wall in the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium, before the start of the 1985 European Cup Final between Juventus and Liverpool. Thirty-nine people—mostly Juventus fans died and 600 were injured.

Also the 1971 Ibrox disaster was a crush among the crowd at an Old Firm game, which led to 66 deaths and over 200 injuries - yet this is seldom publicised in the same way as Hillsborough
 
I look forward to seeing Andy Burnham on my tv very soon telling us all about armbandgate. He's not been on for about twenty minutes and I'm really missing him.
 
Scousers showing their respect for Heysel victims...

There were 27 arrests on suspicion of manslaughter – the only extraditable offence applicable to events at Heysel. Most of these people had previous convictions for football-related violence. In 1989, after a five-month trial in Belgium, fourteen fans were given three-year sentences for involuntary manslaughter.

A memorial service for those killed in the disaster was held before Liverpool's match with Arsenal on 18 August 1985, however according to The Sydney Morning Herald, it was "drowned out" by chanting.

I can truly believe it though with scousers.

These are the same people who lit candles for a dead chicken.

I remember that. So does Boris Johnson

Tributes Left For Dead Chicken

Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.
A member of the public discovered the remains in a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool.

Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus.

Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears.

Local gossip

One of the cards read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx."

Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to "stop grieving, it's only a chicken".

A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said: "It seems a member of the public saw the remains of a foetus, which possibly resembled a human foetus, and called us.

"We cordoned off the area to investigate, as we would with any possible suspicious death, but it became apparent it was not a human foetus.

"The flowers and cards are obviously the result of local gossip, but we can assure people that the remains were not human."

Conservative MP and editor of The Spectator Boris Johnson was criticised last year after commenting in the magazine that Liverpudlians were "hooked on grief".
