KDB is overrated btw. The rest of the pl say otherwise but the cult have an understanding above us mortals. Not fit to lace captain Hendos boots

From the article:

“Some 50,000 tickets were sold for the European Cup final on May 29, 1985, and many more got in without one but, when the day was done, 39 football fans lay dead.

With hindsight, the Heysel Stadium tragedy merely foreshadowed an even greater one - albeit in only partly-related circumstances, at Hillsborough four years later.”

The common thread running through both disasters????

When we won the league under pellergrini and lost 3-2 at anfield, i had the misfortune of going into a pub in wavertree after going to the game as my dad has scouse pals (i know).
the vermin were particularly chipper as they thought theyd pretty much won the prem that day.
Anyway, got talking to one and he was pointing out photos that were around the bar of european trips theyd all been on. Showed me one, cant remember where, of a stand they were all in. They were stood on seats with someone stood in front of them, so basically doubled up. He told me there was twice as many in the stand as there shouldve been. People jumping turnstyles, passing tickets back through, etc. He was pretty proud.
I smiled , as you do. But all i was thinking was , “do you lot never fuckin learn”.

You only have to look at the semi against us this year to realise they never learn. Jibbing in, overcrowded lower tier, flares galore, not just the odd one, then the same in the final I believe plus the booing and the robbing. But it’s ok because it’s not their fault and their head cheer leader says they wouldn’t do it without reason. I just wish that next time they play there that their allocation is cut n half and bocks of seats had to be kept empty and the council tell the entire world why. Utter vermin who just won’t ever accept responsibility for anything.

KDB - Player of the Year
Foden - Young Player of the Year.

I thought you sad shower of shite had the best forwards, best midfield, best youngsters, to go with your best of everything else. Fuck off.

This is almost certainly correct. The state of the stadium most likely saved more lives than it took. It’s simple physics and perfectly stands to reason.

It’s interesting isn’t it, the examples used to say why the state of the stadia caused it “chicken wire” separating fans. So when I go & watch wallabies v England at Optus stadium in Perth which has no segregation I’ll be taking my life in my own hands. No I’ve just realised we’ll be safe because there are proper turnstiles so that won’t cause ticketless fans to get sucked in.

Yes the heysel stadium was a crumbling old ground with chicken wire fences, but many people died there in the years preceding May 85?

No & the jewellery shop up the road had also never been robbed before that day. It wasn’t the scousers fault though, the security was so poor.
