Not a conspiracy but it took “the Club” 10 minutes to condemn our fan base for a few piss cans singing during a minute’s silence, no City fan knew about in advance. That was the FA Cup semi final. Can you not see the inconsistent treatment?
Why has the father of the 15 year old girl only thanked match going Blues, first aiders and the CEO of LFC?why are you comparing a police investigation and a pr statement on social media as if they’re the same thing?
That’s why you’re finding inconsistency, because you’re ignoring the fact the club immediately condemned the Liverpool fans behaviour and have instead decided that someone being arrested is the point of comparison.
Tbh I get to a degree that the club want to be seen as trying to dampen things down a bit mate, they can hardly be seen to be encouraging it which if they refused to cooperate etc then they likely would, I just think they got some of it very wrong, my general point though is that us fans knew exactly what was going to happen, if we knew, then the club should have had a good idea too and put certain measures in place, they didn’t, which says to me they don’t have a great knowledge of Liverpool fans and any history between the two cities ?I think that sadly the club confirmed that with the open letter /email thing and the decision to put the away fans in that section:-(
Perhaps not so much downplaying but more not giving the media hourly updates as they're as guilty as anyone at stoking those fires?I get the feeling that at present the emphasis is on dampening down off pitch rivalry between the two clubs and downplaying stuff like this in the interests of improving relations or not stoking trouble between the fans? I'd imagine letting this incident pass may even be part of that as I'd be surprised if we don't have the ticketing and CCTV tech to pin down the culprits.

If it’s the intention of the club/police to let this die down in order to de-escalate the growing tension between the clubs the girl’s father could pursue a private prosecution and request those tapes. That would be be even more embarrassing for the club if it showed a clear image of the culprit. For that reason, I don’t believe the club can conceal or fail in its duty to the fans. Maybe he’s waiting to see how it pans out?Why has the father of the 15 year old girl only thanked match going Blues, first aiders and the CEO of LFC?
Why do you think fans of LFC keep their perceived injustices, in the media spotlight? Why did the father of the 15 year old girl speak to the press?Perhaps not so much downplaying but more not giving the media hourly updates as they're as guilty as anyone at stoking those fires?
Maybe it's still going ahead quietly without needing to keep everyone updated constantly.
"I cannot speak more highly of the way the club have conducted themselves since the incident"
Is what he had to say about City.
The footage I have seen showed a dipper fan throwing things into the tier below but I do not think it can nail him as the one that threw the glass that injured the young girl. I am encouraged by the statement from the girl's father about how the club and GMP are handling this matter. The guy seems sensible and not the type to be bought off.If it’s the intention of the club/police to let this die down in order to de-escalate the growing tension between the clubs the girl’s father could pursue a private prosecution and request those tapes.

Maybe the club and his family are in contact and he's happy (relatively speaking) with what's happening. Has he said anything recently on social media?If it’s the intention of the club/police to let this die down in order to de-escalate the growing tension between the clubs the girl’s father could pursue a private prosecution and request those tapes.
