MCFC provide legends to present flowers on the pitch before the start of the game.

MCFC lay flowers as a memorial at The Etihad.

Blues pay respects through a minutes silence.

MCFC place an advert in teh match programme, showing respect for those who passed away at Hillsborough.

All players wear black armbands.

One player has an armband that doesn't fit him. It causes him discomefort so he removes it. Some scousers are up in arms.

I would suggest that the perfect way the Liverpool players could have respected those who passed away, would have been to play the game in the right spirit. Yet we witnessed Suarez and Skrtel blatantly cheating and Henderson committing a nasty, potential leg-breaking, challenge.


After the game on Sunday, Geoff Shreeves asked Gerarrdwhy he was so emotional at the end of teh game. Gerrard only referred to the enormity of the game in terms of the title race. A day later, he comes out to tell the press that the 'real' reason for his emotional out-pouring was because the game took place on the 25th anniversary of the events at Hillsborough. Maybe I am being cynical but it would not surprised me if before the interview he was briefed by the club to say thatas it may be deemed as 'lacking in the grief factor'.

It would not surprise me if there was a standing item of 'maximising grief' at Board meetings or an internal Grief Policy.

Yes, you are being cynical. Given his own cousin died at Hillsborough, I think it's fair to say his grief and emotion were 100% genuine.

Bollocks, Gerrard was but a very young lad and I doubt has any memories of his cousin. I had a cousin die when I was 8 also, I can't remember anything about him.

The poster you are replying to is bang on the money, hence his change in story.

He's one month younger than I am, and I remember that day and the friends/family I used to knock about with back then perfectly well. I'm sure he does too.

I would have thought having a name like that would absolve people of any prepossessed disposition to expect intelligence from him.
 
Following the events leading up to, during and after the match on Sunday, I will no longer be respecting any further tributes for the Hillsbrough victims. 25 years have passed and it's getting ridiculous. Less fuss is made on Remembrance Day.
 
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.
 
When is their remembrance service or minute's silence for Heysel. Wonder what 'respect' they do show on that day?
