    Everytime I think about it I shudder. The excitement of preparing to go to a soccer match...the nervousness as you see the crowd levels rising. The fear and panic as you become trapped and suffocate. All because of someone's stupidity. All football fans should make sure this date and those people are never forgotten. RIP

    Lads, it doesn't matter who you support or even if you support football at all. This was a tragedy that affected a lot of people at the time and still does to this day.

    If you aren't willing to show a bit of class and be respectful in this thread then don't bother posting.

    I remember some labour councillor gave an address at memorial at Anfield last year and he was roundly booed by a section of liverpool supporters. And it was brilliant in a way because it showed that they were still so focused in getting justice for the 96 and felt that the 96 had been forgotten by the establishment.
    Let them never be forgotten.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 843 ✭✭✭Yellowledbetter


    Its crazy to think that 96 people who went to see a football match never came home,we can only begin to imagine what the famalies are going through 21 years on and still no Justice has been done

    They Will Never Walk Alone

    Liverpool fan or not, this is an event that was truly a case of "There but for the grace of God go I", and all football fans should always be respectful and sympathetic to this tragic event.

    This tragedy could have happened to any group of supporters, from any club. It was a heartbreaking event for those who were there and for those who were left behind following the tragic deaths of the 96.

    These 96 were not (as a certain rag newspaper would have you believe) hooligans, nor were they thugs; they were like any one of us. They were football fans who were going to a game to support their team. They were 96 innocent people who went out for the day to enjoy a game of football and horrifically and tragically never came back.

    Finding it bizarre that people feel a need to state who they support.

    Terrible tragedy, remember reading an article about it last year that really hit home. Must try and locate it again.

    i know what you mean.

    but i think it's just a simple, and nice, way of showing that the tragedy transcends any football rivalry.

    i appreciate people's sentiment in doing it.

    RIP 96

    I remember watching RTE 2's coverage of that semi, listening to George Hamilton reporting after it all went so horribly wrong. 10 years old, confused at this nightmarish footage. Cried my heart out then, cried again when I first visited the memorial at Anfield years later.

    May they all rest in peace, and pray we never see the like of this avoidable disaster again.

    RIP the 96.

    Wasn't old enough to remember it but what sticks out from it was a piece in Stuart Pearce's autobiography about the day, about how they sent one of the players down the tunnel to go and see what was happeneing. The lad came back was devastated and could barely explain what he saw. The feeling of seeing something like that and not being able to do anything about it, must be pretty tough.

    You don't need to be a Liverpool fan, or a football fan to sympathise with these families. 96 people not coming home is pretty harrowing.

    2 years before this I was involved in a mini-crush (nothing on the scale of Hillsborough obviously) at a hurling match, my dad never took me to a GAA match again, probably why I got into soccer and not hurling.

    So to see this on TV live as it was happening was kinda upsetting to say the least, even for an 11 yr old. All petty footballing rivalries go out the window today.

    RIP. Those 96 folks will never walk alone.


  • Registered Users Posts: 575 ✭✭✭5ForKeeps


    All Liverpool Supporters should be proud of the lads today at the service. Torres and Gerrard singing JTF 96 on camera. Well in redmen.
