Two players who played that tradgic day in hillsborough and ronnie whelan who captained the side that day are due to appear to appear on an irish football programme sponsored by the sun on may 1st.this is sickening behaviour from these past players especially since we havent recieved justice for the 96 and these are two people who attended the funerals of the dead.heres hoping they pull out and didn't relise who it was sponsored by in the off chance.

Tbh I think we're being too harsh on them, yes it's appalling what they were going to do, but was simple mistake of not knowing who the sponsors were. If they go through with the work sponsered by the Sun then we can go [oops] mental at them


Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,

There are quotes from both men in the article saying that they had no idea about the link with the sponsors. These two men witnessed on hand what happened that terrible day and attended many funerals after the event. I suggest you read the article again.

So,Ronnie showed up on premier soccer sunday on RTE last night which means he is happy to work for a show sponsored by the S*n.


Nice one Ronnie,razor was not on last night.

RTE are giving the usual sh1te talk out of them,its a deal with news international.Here are a couple of addresses if you want to make a complaint.

Ronnie Whelan should know better,he was captain that day.

the lad must be mentally [oops] slow first of all what point was he trying to make by pulling out of the first show if he was going to go on it two weeks later and the disrespect he has shown by this is sickening he obviously has no values how was he ever captain of our great club!!

Maybe people want to show "how much of a fan they really are" It was an awful tragic event that unfortunately I'm old enough to remember. The players that where on the pitch that day will never forget what happened. They have to live with it day in day out. People need to give them a break.

Yes Ronnie was captain and Ronnie is a liverpool legend. unfortunately for him he didn't get paid 80,000 a week when he played so he can't pick and choose when to work.. Ronnie was working for RTE as far as i'm concerned. I don't think any less of the man, true Anfield great who atteneded funerals and was there to support families after Hillsborough. Most of the people on this thread having a go probably never even saw Ronnie play!

Not everything people do, has to be about this. Go and check what the empire that Sun is a part of, and you'll probably find you use a part of it. Let he who is without sky/the Sun/the Times/NOTW/Fox etc cast the first stone. I really wish people would get over themselves, and stop trying to put themselves on pedestals, and criticise former players.


Excellent post - we aare all hypocrites to one degree or another due only to the fact the grip murdoch has on the media.
