Fowlers Penalty Miss said:Gripping stuff. You have to admire the tenacity of the families that lost their loved ones for sticking at it for a quarter of a century.
The supporters that were there knew the truth, the friends and families of those that were there knew the truth, the state tried to shut them up, and in the end, thankfully, the truth came out.
It's not quite the end of the story, as not a single one of those bastards that perverted the course of justice will probably ever face criminal proceedings, but at least we now know what happened.
Justice for the 96.

As soon as the finger is pointed at certain individuals, they are allowed to "retire on health" grounds, safe in the knowledge that they are safe from prosecution and will live out their days with money in the bank.
Fucking disgrace but should something similar happen tomorrow, the same judiciary, government of the day and police force would do the exact same thing again.

Last night showed that a cover up instigated under Thatcher, was then allowed to carry on under Blair and Straw.
Blair could and should have ripped the Thatcher government apart for what they did yet he chose to do nothing and worse still, he chose to carry on with the cover up.

What got me is the fact it could have been anyone of us that day. I remember it.walking up the hill from Ewood park having just watched City lose 4-0.
My mum rang me and asked if I was ok. I said yeah why...The rest as they say is history.
You had a phone in 1989? I remember being on the terrace down the side at Ewood Park and hearing about the match being postponed from people who had radios with them as was the norm in those days. Everybody immediately thought it was because of fighting, little did we know...... Oh and Moulden should have played that day although we were complete dogshite.
