Manchester City vs Liverpool pre-match thread

[tolmie's hairdoo]

If ever there was a game where Gerrard could pick up a booking, you think this would be it?

Automatic two-game suspension, which would greatly impact them, regardless of the outcome on Sunday.

I thought it was reset after April 10th?

After Sunday, I thought?

Yea its after this weekends games.

I hope we play on the fact that he is one away from a suspension, im not talking about diving but im talking about being mindful of the fact that if he does catch someone we try and get as much of an advantage as possible.

Re: Liverpool Thread 2013/14 (continued)

I've had enough of this Hillsborough stuff, is getting tired now, yes I have sympathy but fuck me move on, I'm so nervous for Sunday, just hope it's not decided by some shite Twatenburg decision.

25 years have passed without justice. How can people move on? They lost heir loved ones who were falsely accused.

Who are you to say they should "move on"? If it had been your Dad, Mum, brother, sister, friend, girlfriend/boyfriend, cousin, or any other relative could you ever move on?

It could have been us if we'd had a better side (we were trying to get promoted from Division 2 at the time). Think about it.

On 15th April 1989, we were watching City getting tonked at Blackburn and it was half time when when I switched on my tranny and heard the news that there had been deaths. We can never forget that tragedy.

I am so proud of our club and 99.99% of our fans. After a request from some City fans, MCFC has commissioned a banner which will be taken to Anfield and held aloft by City fans, paying our respects to the victims of Hillsborough. City have also taken out a full page ad in the match programme with “YNWA” and both club badges. Mike Summerbee and Joe Corrigan will hand over 96 blue and red roses to Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush.

It is a source of national disgrace that justice has not been done for the Hillsborough Disaster. That 25 years have passed and justice still has not been done deepens that disgrace.

The victims were falsely blamed for the tragedy by South Yorkshire Police and Margaret Thatcher's government.
Their reputations were besmirched by the Police and Thatcher's govt who repeatedly told lies about them and what went on.

South Yorkshire Police amended Police officers' accounts of the Disaster, and bullied other officers into changing their accounts.

Vital evidence which could have made the truth public was covered up or destroyed by the Police and Thatcher's government.

Alcohol blood tests were taken of children who died at Hillsborough. Yes children were blood tested for alcohol to try to perpetuate the lie that drunken fans caused the disaster.

It was gross negligence and incompetence that caused the disaster.

Liverpool fans were falsely accused of breaking down the doors to the stadium when those gates were opened on the instruction of the South Yorkshire Police Match Commander.

Despite requests from Liverpool, The FA and S Yorks Police put Liverpool fans in the fateful smaller Leppings Lane end of Hillsborough. There had been crushing in the Leppings Lane End in 1981.

Hillsborough Stadium did not have an up to date safety certificate yet Sheffield City Council failed to close it.

The FA chose an unfit, unsafe stadium for one of the biggest matches of the season.

S Yorks Police (investigated rather conveniently in the aftermath by the equally corrupt West Midlands Police) told a tissue of lies.

The Emergency services were slow to respond to tend to the dying and injured.

The original Hillsborough coroner wrongly recorded a verdict of "accidental death", and deemed an erroneous cut off point when victims had no chance of survival - it has since been discovered that some of those people could have been saved.

Some people in Britain self righteously talk about the "British sense of fair play". What fair play? It's always been a myth (eg slavery, invading and looting other people's countries). Where is the fair play for the victims of Hillsborough and their families?

We stand together with them in dearly hoping these families find justice and that those who are responsible are prosecuted. Those have waited for far too long - 25 years - for justice.

JUSTICE FOR THE 96.

Give it a rest mate

is it only Friday?...

No, it's Sunday evening. You missed the match; it ended 8-8 with 3 men sent off from each side.

I'd take that now.

We all know what happened. Who doesn't. The families fight for justice and rightly so. But at least they are getting justice. The victims of Heysel and their families have had everything swept under the carpet. Nothing will bring those that have died in either tragedy back. Nothing. I am glad that the truth has been exposed but there is no need for it all to be trawled up time and time again. You mention fair play. Where was the fair play when the scouse bastard hooligans attacked Italian fans. You are passionate about it but give it a rest. The media are doing your reporting for you.

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

If that was true we would be top of the league...

They have played two more than us

Points on board>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Games in hand.

A certain 2 points < 2 home games against a low on confidence Sunderland and a Aston Villa team that could have nothing to play for

Well said mate. RIP To the victims of both tragedies.

 

[Paulpowersleftfoot]

I know not directly linked, but it has always bemused me how Liverpool fans, after everything they have gone through, their opposition to the bringing back of safe standing, are probably the worst offenders for constant standing at away games or on the Kop?

ssh, always the victims

i think if one of my family had died at hillsbrough and been accused of causing the tragedy by the authorities,id feel pretty victimised.
we arent utd and would hope our fanbase have the decency to pay their respects without having to read pathetic nonsense like that
