    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, Registered Users 2 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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,037 ✭✭✭✭citytillidie


    21 years and no Justice. Set the TRUTH free don't buy the S*n.

    RIP sad day for football just like Ibrox, Bradford and Heysel
