The media have been surprisingly quiet on this today.
Never gets a mention by the press or media in this country gets lost in the Liverpool 'love in' . I bet Brendan wont wear an armband in memory of the 39. It's interesting that Liverpool on their website attach the blame to everybody not just their fans . Always the victims . Do you remember when they drew Juventus a few years ago at Anfield and the juve fans turned their back on the kop.Let's be honest, if it were the other way round the scousers would be milking it even more than Hillsborough. They do love a good tragedy don't they.
I must admit that I always remember Heysal. I don't think Liverpool fans forget it, more of a deep feeling of sadness and the knowledge that we (collective LFC fans) are partly responsible.
Partly because, it was a tiny, old decrepit stadium, Police unused in Belgium to the violence of the times (not an excuse) and extremely poor organisation. Much has been done by both sets of fans to try and build bridges but of course it's difficult.
If the Tradedgy had occurred in either Italy or the UK I think it would have had far more prominence rather than in a neutrals stadium.
However, any death, at any sporting event is a complete waste and should be remembered.

That'll be the same sort of 'partial responsibilities' as the Liverpool fans at Hillsborough turning up drunk without tickets and trying to force their way into the game? But of course that goes down like a sack of bricks whenever anyone brings that up.

I live there but not a fan, however i do read the facts.

It would appear you can acquire the Scouser victim complex as well as inherit it.
I suggest you take another look at these so called facts of yours.

I remember watching that footage at the time; it was from the '86 Liverpool v Everton final wasn't it? Although the first time, all I noticed was the blokes (impressively) scaling the walls up to the open window. It's only from that clip that you can see that some cheeky chappy has opened a gate gate directly below and hundreds of (ticketless?) fans are surging towards it.
