KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Hillsborough Papers and Comment

Im not a veteran supporter in comparison to most Liverpool fans, but I believe Liverpool vs Everton is the only love/hate rivalry in football.

Oh yeah thats true. I could never hate Everton like i hate United, same with City i could never hate them as much as i hate Chelsea and United.

Ive just watched the ITV Granada reports news dedicated to the hillsborough disaster and i have to say it was terribly sad to watch but well done to them for that coverage. possible to view for oots on the itv iplayer i would imagine?

Just brings memories of that awful day flooding back. A bloody disgrace what has gone on since. Only reason the truth is out now is because of the grief and hard work of those 96 families. People need to go to prison over this.

Exactly Faz,

The families have the truth now give them justice.

Brilliant.

I have no idea. I've been glued to Hillsborough matters all day, haven't been able to keep my mind on anything else, least of all football. Very emotionally draining day. Some shocking revelations, some not so shocking.

CP1972 / All just come back from the vigil.

I got there at 5pm and they said the vigil starts proper at 6pm. It was a lovely night but bitter cold wind. They said a brass band was going to play from Formby. I thought I am not standing here for an hour freezing my nuts off listening g to a brass band I will nip to Doctor Duncan’s. But then I thought I would listen to them and they were brilliant and Doctor Duncan’s lost the sale of two pints. The music eased me and sounded very evocative against the lovely sky and the magnificent buildings on Lime Street. And the names of the 96 were projected onto St John’s wall and the youth players bringing out 96 lamps to the sound of a choir singing abide with me. It was simply magnificent. I left once I had heard Margaret Aspinall’s speech and something she said touched me. She said all you who survived don’t feel guilty you have nothing to feel guilty about. Given what they had lost to spare a thought for those who were unharmed but witnessed (to varying degrees) was very nice of her to do. I am glad I went to that vigil and I do feel closure is either here or on its way. For me events of today and the vigil mean for me personally it’s on its way out but then I got off very lightly although I was distressed for some months immediately afterwards. I left after they played the heart of Liverpool and flashed the photos of each of the 96 on the screens once it finished I went for the train. I felt at that point something in me had been nearly extinguished but it’s been quite a day.
