My take on the subject
They took over 100k to Paris. The media reported this. Fake tickets all over twitter for sale. Fans locked out at the start of the game. The media reported this. Liverpool end and stair Wells full of Liverpool supporters as seen on TV.
Michael Owen even saying looks like Liverpool have 2 thrids of the ground.
Liverpool fans answer to the situation. They should open the gates. Are they for fucking real !!!!!
A lot of lessons have been learnt from Hillsborough and there is no way on this earth authorities will open gates to an already full stadium. If this means riot police use tear gas to disperes fans rather than hundreds dying to a crush that's what they will do
 
There's not a cat in hell's chance these cunts were completely innocent for Hillsborough. They had form for it years prior and carried it on years later,and that was the one game where they were all so well behaved?! . Unfortunately the one's that died would have been the innocent ones, the one's that had tickets, the ones that turned up early and weren't drunk.
So true, all football fans know that despite incorrect decisions being made at Hillsborough the ticketless wankers were contributory to the deaths of innocent, mainly young fans.

The actions of the police on the day was the main factor, but as you rightly point out many turned up late, drunk and without tickets. I honestly believe that if it hadn't been for the reputation of their fans preceding them Hillsborough might not have played out the way it did.

4 years after Heysel & clubs banned from Europe.
 
Hillsborough was a complex issue and mistakes were made by all parties. The narrative was that the decision to place the Liverpool fans in the smaller end was the first issue. Secondly large numbers of Liverpool supporters turned up without tickets. The match controller lost the plot and ordered that the gates be opened and was ultimately blamed for the events that followed.

This is the reverse of the action taken by the French police and authorities at the weekend. Had David Duckenfield taken that decision at Hillsborough, a few Liverpool fans with tickets might not have got in but there would have been no deaths. But the Liverpool support would probably still be moaning about it now.

Of course the Thatcherite decision to put up fences in football stadia was also a major factor at least on the number of deaths.
 
This whole Stade de France episode is a perfect illustration of the miserable state of our media. The reality of what did/didn't go on is probably quite complex and there will be elements of both sides of the story that have some truth.

This is exactly the time when you look for proper journalists to dig beneath the surface and try and present a more substantive and nuanced analysis of events. But the moronic coverage is proof if any is needed that we are sadly lacking in proper journalist talent.
Spot-on. It seems clear, even at this early stage, that a lot of the parties are in the wrong and the buck-passing has started. The police seem to have lost control and targeted innocent fans, the organisation from UEFA does look like a total shambles, some Liverpool fans tried to get in illegally with or without fake tickets, and so did some of the local street gangs. Yet the English media have only got one narrative which is LFC fans are wholly innocent, the French police are evil, and UEFA are just dishonest (this one is probably true). The coverage is, as you say, moronic. A professional journalist would at least provide some caveats, if only to provide some wriggle room as the full picture emerges. Some of the reporters were very close to the police brutality and have become part of the story on social media instead of actually doing their job properly.

The Actions of the police after the event are deplorable, but the actions of the police before the event was to the best of their knowledge, many clubs over the previous decade had attendances far beyond their capacities, with no problems, ticketless fans and SAFETY fences were the main problems, and why were the fences there....
I do feel for the fans that died or were hurt, they got to the ground to avoid the trouble they got caught up in, but i have never heard a scouser admit they were there without a ticket.
 
the fact that it only seem to be the dippers who were targeted to buy fake tickets, would imply the forgers knew the dippers were an easy target or the dippers themselves doing the forging ?

lfc turned down the use of electronic tickets in favour of paper tickets.
I fully expect dippers were behind creating the false dipper tickets on an industrial scale.
They’re not averse to shafting their own when it suits them…feral bastards!
