Liverpool Thread | 2025/26

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Maybe I missed it but I don't remember any police officers on the terraces pushing fans downwards towards the fences. The police actually didn't kill anyone. The Liverpool fans crushed their own fans to death. The police contributed by their poor management of the situation and covered that up and should be held responsible for that. What's not been highlighted is the FA made clubs erect fences to stop pitch invasions. That prevented fans getting on the pitch when they were being pushed against the fence. They are as guilty as anyone but nothing said. This action alone led to an increase in deaths and injuries. Also who gave the ground a safety certificate when a risk assessment should have identified that it was a high risk like blocking a means of escape. Bradford fire says hello.
I really feel for the bereaved families but just to keep blaming the police hides the responsibility of others.

The Liverpool fans that were killed and injured that day were amongst other thing victims of their own clubs reputation at the time. Yes, other fans were just as bad, and that contributed, but the initial behaviour of the police was based on expectations of how their fans would behave. What happened afterwards was inexcusable.

For me its not the coppers at the coal face, its a difficult enough job. Its about how the press and police (and I suspect the FA) colluded, at a high level, to paint a different picture. That's where the most damage was done after the initial tragedy.

Fed up to the back teeth of how liverpool fc exploit it but I would have liked to see some appropriate justice.

Also the pens inside the stand exacerbated the problem, as those coming in late didn’t spread out, but instead headed for the pens straight in front of them.

To have been a friend or family of one of the deceased was devastating . But to have those memories brought up time and time again over the past 36 years must be equally distressing.

36 years mate. And yes, that is scary.

Apologies, my bad maths, I ran out of fingers. Original post changed.

Can't believe this saga is still ongoing. It's a long time since I was ferrying around the lawyers in my taxi to and from the inquest in Warrington.
Never understood the jibbing in mentality. An acquaintance of mine was there that day without a ticket. No idea of his significance there and never heard anything about it obviously.

Shame Brian Clough couldn't testify.

My foster family were in the forest end watching it all unfold.

My brother said to me after that report; "Mum told us if we can't say something nice say nothing at all..."

Yep, Littlewoods are definitely back!

Decent point for Liverpool

 

[Blue Mist]

The other week after they had lost (again) we were told they were still grieving Jotas death.
Then they won and as we heard nothing I assume they were over it.


It's just a question, now they have drawn, are they half grieving and half saying it 'it weren't are fault lah'

 

[Stoned Rose]

Still wank.

Sturridge has just called their keeper Alli.

And he’s wearing a leather shirt.

More evidence that Van Dijk and Salah are finished.

I made the mistake of watching this game. It was terrible. Liverpool came up with a late siege but they deserved no more than a point. I cannot see them making the top 5.

Sunderland should really have won.

I fully expected Isidor to score at the end, but he’s not Erling.

I enjoy there pain almost as much as I do the Rags. Two cheeks of the same arse.
Both of them are the gift that keeps giving this season.
I wonder what they blame tonight's dropped points on ?
