so as i suspected none,cheers for that mateVienna_70 said:unsworthblue said:can anyone please tell me how many Liverpool fans were tried and found guilty of murder after the Heysel disaster? i can't understand some of you calling the scousers murderers,you sound like Sun reading Younited fans some of you,we've just won the title and Liverpool came 2nd,alls good in the worldxTCIB said:"Approximately 1 hour before the Juventus-Liverpool final was due to kick off, a large group of Liverpool fans breached a fence separating them from a "neutral area" which contained mostly Juventus fans. They ran back on the terraces and away from the threat into a concrete retaining wall. Fans already seated near the wall were crushed; eventually the wall collapsed. Many people climbed over to safety, but many others died or were badly injured. The game was played despite the disaster in order to prevent further violence.[2]
The tragedy resulted in all English football clubs being placed under an indefinite ban by UEFA from all European competitions (lifted in 1990–91), with Liverpool being excluded for an additional 3 years, later reduced to 1,[3] and fourteen Liverpool fans found guilty of manslaughter and each sentenced to three years' imprisonment. The disaster was later described as "The darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions".[4]"
I'm not sure of the exact number, but I think it was 14 Liverpool supporters were found guilty of manslaughter.
Now, in case you don't know, manslaughter is unintentional murder. In other words, you've killed someone, but you didn't mean to.
But it's still murder.
