Inexperienced? He was hardly inexperienced was he.
who is they ?What would’ve happened had he not opened the gates, could people have died in the crush outside? We will never know, the ground didn’t have a safety certificate , the government had decided fans should be penned in like animals, fans themselves acted like animals in those days with the violence. There are many factors involved to blame one person who made an inexperienced call, they want a scapegoat in my opinion, no one should ever have died going to a match but to blame one man when it’s a systematic failure is wrong.

The families and the government, the government want to throw someone under the bus, the families because they need to have someone tangible to say they “a person” did it, when it was many factors, including the match commander of the day to blame. Unfortunately due to the cover up and blatant lies 30 years ago many of those to blame will never be brought before the courts as they are either dead or in the case of those departments are no longer there.who is they ?
I agree mate that program was horrific but like you said one man is all that is left.One man was all the families had left thanks to a stinking corrupt system that painted the fans as being at fault that day. And for years afterward. Helping by that fudgeing scum paper that also did a great job at the time of turning the public against the fans.
I always tell people to just watch Jimmy McGovern's Hillsborough if they want to know what happened that day. One of the most powerful pieces of television you'll watch.
Agreed and outstanding, gob smacking documentary. It left me heartbroken and speechless.I always tell people to just watch Jimmy McGovern's Hillsborough if they want to know what happened that day. One of the most powerful pieces of television you'll watch.
No idea how the euro draw works but it’s created a group with Germany, France and Portugal all together
Quiet agree one of the stipulation of the draw should be to keep each group clear of replicating the qualifying groups.. surely it's not difficult to do that ... About the group F as there are 24 teams in the group stage and then to 16 there will be the chance of all 3 going to the knockout stages.If England win their group they’ll play the runner up out of that lot!
Pet hate - teams being drawn together in both qualifiers and the main tournament, England/Czech Republic, Spain/Sweden in this case.
England should really be getting quite far in this tournament with home advantage.
Gonna have to get in there early and book my holidays for those tasty group F games!
Yep if we get out of the group we are on the road for rnd 16 and 8 if we get that far.Not sure but I think the last 16 and quarters will be at a neutral ground - the semis and final are at Wembley
