Hillsborough

[LeeB]

We didn’t have a game that day.

Due to the other semi I guess?

[dcdavecollett]

yep.

As I recall, the other semi was Everton v Norwich.

[Damo70]

yep.

As I recall, the other semi was Everton v Norwich.

'The forgotten semi final' as they tend to call it. Although I seem to recall Pat Nevin scored the only goal of the game.

[Richard E]

Duckenfield acquitted of manslaughter.

[Drummond]

I think he's a very lucky man.

[Richard E]

So basically the equivalent of two coach loads of men, women and children leave a football match in body bags and not one single person is held to account for that.

[luke95]

Fucking disgraceful.

[p_ad]

Shameful

[dave.woodhall]

Predictable.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Funny handshakes involved, I suspect.

Those poor families.

[Hopadop]

I'm not at all surprised. It was always going to incredibly hard for the two juries that have been involved.

[Nev]

Predictable.

And it will be repeated with Grenfell.

[Percy McCarthy]

There should be a retrial. Terrible guidance from the judge apparently. Brought up football hooliganism in his summing up after it had been shown to be completely irrelevant by the evidence.

What a c***. In what context, any idea Percy? On the day itself, or in a "if they hadn't all been hooligans they wouldn't have been in cages in the first place" kind of way?

Outrageous decision. Why the hell was hooliganism even anything to do with the summary.
