I agree, but what I was getting at is that elements of their fan base refuse point blank to accept ANY responsibility for what happened when that simply wasn't the case.I can only agree in part with what you say, but also think that much of your view is shaped by an overall dislike/hatred/scorn (whatever word or strength of feeling you hold) for the club and fans as a whole.
Yes Liverpool fans must take blame for what happened on the day, as they must for ewhat happened at Heysel. I do seek to deny or mitigate anything that some fans of "my club" did, have done or will do. There are complete wankers amongst our fans ...but there are at all clubs.
I think your response, although it may simply be due to the short nature of it, does not reflect the general view of all football supporters at the time. From the 70s through the 80s and 90s drink, drugs hooliganism seemed to be drawn to football. the view that it was fun to go for a ruck and pint(s) and Oh yes, the football may have been incidental for some.
As with everything in life I take the view that we should all accept our mistakes, stand by them and seek to apologise for them. Others may not like what you have done but you can at least then try and move on from them.
With all the milestones that have gone on and the ending of this last legal action I do hope that, whilst not forgetting the 96, that the fans and the club and the media can move on from this.
As was said by others, to keep on banging on about this, demanding someone is hung up for what happened (beyond the H&S guy) risks cries of hypocracy when considering those guilty of what happened at Heysel.
the old line..."people in glass houses"
There was no cover up. The altered statements they bleat on about were personal viewpoints that were removed. Not statement of fact.First they wanted the truth, then they got their truth.
They didn't want convictions, then went looking for convictions.
If it doesn't fit their narrative it's an injustice, I await pages upon pages of cover ups and injustices in the scouse dominated media, shame there isn't the same media coverage for the 39 murders in heysal.
I’ve said it before, but Heysel was the straw that broke the camel's back.I still think it’s an absolute travesty that all English clubs got banned from Europe due to their actions. It should have been them and them only who were banned.
Clubs like Wimbledon,Luton and Coventry missed out on European football through no fault of their own depriving them of making there own piece of history.
And a £65 million goalkeeper!Pretty sure Klopp was their manager when they signed a £75M defender?
The English football hierarch might look very different if that had been the case. Kendall's Everton might have dominated for a decade and we might never had heard of bacon-face!I still think it’s an absolute travesty that all English clubs got banned from Europe due to their actions. It should have been them and them only who were banned.

Not sure how the police have got away with altering the statements/evidence when policemen of the time have come out and said they were ordered to do it.Although I hate the scousers for Heysel, and for milking Hillsborough for as much they can.... I think the fact that everyone has gotten away with this shit is atrocious. The law courts in this country are totally and utterly setup to protect the elite. 1 person (A Health and Safety guy at the ground) has been prosecuted.
