What I'm disputing is the connection between these two things. Hillsborough was not a consequence of overcrowding. The Leppings Lane end as a whole was not overcrowded - the number of people in the stand at 3pm did not exceed the number of tickets sold. The problem was that because of the failure of the police to manage the crowd properly on the day, fans were directed overwhelmingly into the two central pens while the side pens were significantly under capacity.

I'd also add that UEFA and the French government have changed their story so many times already; I don't know why you'd trust them. First there was '30,000-40,000 fake tickets.' Now it's about 2,000. You really think that 2,000 fake tickets caused those scenes?

I trust my eyes and videos I have seen, I trust my experiences with jibbing scousers and their behaviour.

The French government didn't force that arsehole of a manager you have to call for scousers to converge on Paris, the French government didn't force LFC to ask for paper tickets, own your mistakes and stop hiding behind Hillsborough every time you fuck up.
 
Well, maybe I am with you. You seem to think that Hillsborough should prompt 'uncomfortable questions' of Liverpool. Like I say, if you want to know what actually happened I recommend the video.

It's commentators FROM the Liverpool side who are drawing the comparison, they were that well behaved they stopped another tragedy.

That much is very much tosh.

Yeh LFC fans made the comparison, but they didn't say anything about overcrowding because it's not relevant, nor did they say that Hillsborough is something LFC fans should feel guilty about. You evidently seem to think they should because, again, you don't know what happened and you seem to have no interest in finding out.

Incidentally not that this matters but I'm a mancunian and a City fan - I'm just capable of thinking for myself rather than buying in to stereotypes.
 
No but I did see him not playing yesterday... #overrated
The difference between Taa and Cancelo is staggering
Taa is speculative. He may see pictures. But he plays the ball even if he hasn't the skill to make it come off.

Cancelo also sees the pictures. He changes his body shape or uses a different part of his foot to ensure he makes the pass.
I would say he's not so much speculative. He believes he can actually make the pass. No matter how difficult and more often than not he does.
And he bags a few.

The best right back in the world plays at left back lol

How in their words was a "Tragedy" diverted? What was the "Tragedy" going to be?

Every inference was about overcrowding it wasn't as I said previously referred to as "Heysel" like.

Firstly the French government did not say 40k turned up with fake tickets. They said 30-40k turned up without tickets or with fake tickets. This was pounced on as a lie but we know that happened.
If the 2.8k fake tickets is true then that would have caused an issue, especially if many of them got in leaving people with legitimate tickets denied entry due to their QR code already used. How long would you argue for if you had a legitimate ticket, imagine it’s a case of just stand there whilst we deal with these in the queue & so on. Then you’ve got 2.8k people stood in area not designed for it, a full stadium & people refusing to leave despite it being dangerous.
We heard the LFC fans stayed safe by learning from Hillsboro but it looks like stade de France also learnt not to steer people into a full enclosure.
 
Seems the right back at Aberdeen Ramsay maybe with the salah situation Klopp thinking about playing Trent in that position he seems to always push right up in games now. 3m though that’s cheap is he any good never seen him play must this money ball shit the scouse use.
Ramsay is nowhere near ready for the EPL.

I think the 30-40k figure was fans without tickets rather than fake. The question about Hillsborough which I don't think was ever answered with any certainty, although I will stand corrected, is how many fans were there outside who didn't have tickets and how many turned up close to kick off.
 
Yes you are pissing in the wind, why are you pissing in the wind?

It's the cult of scouse and their media friends who drew the comparison between what happened in Paris and Hillsborough, they didn't compare the 2 events with Heysel for some reason.

It was even said that due to the scousers behaviour another Hillsborough was prevented, this prompted people to ask uncomfortable questions of liverpool and we all know they don't like answering questions.

If liverpool had any respect for anything they'd pump as much grief into the 39 fans they killed but they wont, the club is shit from top to bottom.
But they did have a 'Victory Parade' on the anniversary of the Heysel disaster. That is exactly how much grief they have for the 39 dead fans in other words: absolutely zero. The date of the anniversary of Heysel meant nothing to them at all. Not even a third thought, never mind a second one. It didn't happen in their eyes. They have totally and blatantly ignored it. And with a compliant, supportive media it has literally gone away. To my knowledge not one single media outlet made a single comment about Liverpool's victory parade being held on the anniversary date of Heysel. None. For LFC to do what they did on that date is unforgivable. However, it sums them up to an absolute tee.
 
Still waiting.

I'll ask you this question again.

'Why did Liverpool Football Club insist on paper tickets instead of digital tickets?'
I don't think paper tickets is unusual.

I think we wanted paper for last year's final.

I like to keep mine as do many people.

Having decided on paper. What safeguards were put in place by the club? Uefa?

None by the look of it.
 
You're not. Most football fans, including City fans are aware of what happened at Hillsborough, and who was to blame.

What we don't agree with though, is that in the light of Liverpool's history, why do their fans continue to try to gain illegal access to football matches, resulting in overcrowding? Why do other Liverpool fans tolerate it? Why does the club encourage it? And when things go wrong as a result, why do Liverpool fans try to absolve themselves of all liability?
The daily mail would love that in their comments section ;+)

Nobody has said there were 20,000 40,000 fake tickets ,the french are quoting 2800ish fakes if they have got as far as the turnstiles before being found then that is a big problem to sort
 
Hillsborough anniversary this year on a Saturday sandwiched between the CL semi finals. Would be interesting to see what would happen if they reach that far their second leg was due to be played on a Tuesday. Would they still refuse to play on the Saturday and then play Sunday / Tuesday. Or will TV help them out and their game that weekend will magically and coincidentally be played on the Friday night with their CL game played Tuesday before. Either way they have a tricky dilemma coming up. Probably best if they throw the CL this season. Wonder why every other team as far as I am aware plays on their anniversary dates i.e. Bradford, scum, Rangers yet they are so special that they refuse or does their disaster mean more?
