the myth of holding memorial services is in the main just that a myth. hillsborough was something that any city would remember. the only other memorial which stands out is the rhys jones one. a young everton fan who attended matches with his family tragically shot by someone , was remembered with a high profile service. i see nothing wrong in that, and if it had been a city fan would you have the same resentment?
Two of the worst tagedies in footbal had one common denominator...Liverpool, Jamie bolger...Liverpool. The kiddie that was shot was an appaling tragedy, but mancunian kids have been shot in similar circumstances. The city of liverpool as a whole can't fucking wait to jump onto the martyrs band wagon. Whenever something happens in Liverpool they are all up in arms about it, they do fuck all mind but they lll have a good old moan ie council cuts, firemen, ambulance blah blah blah. All Cities, towns have tragedy, we just don't all fucking bleat on about it, especially when most of yours is of your own doing.
Might seem harsh, but the truth often is.
