Hillsborough do we show support at the next match?

[Titanic]

I'm going to keep my opinions to myself from now on. NSC isn't the place it used to be to express a opinion on.

Ooooh, the drama! A

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Who exactly would we be 'showing' our support to?

We're not on TV, we're not playing Liverpool, and Navarro and Noone have left.

Leave it to LFC and the JF96 campaigners to decide how they want to play it.

We need goal music. "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks always gets me blubbing so I reckon that's a sure fire winner. And white doves, lots of white doves. In fact paint some of the doves blue so that it's a sea of blue and white whenever we score or Hoskins goes down injured.

And we could hire some Middle Eastern looking women to start wailing if Harley starts ahead of Vicente. Forget Richie Reynolds, we need someone with gravitas to read the teamsheet out solemnly. I'm thinking of one of the Dimblebys.

Nah. Morgan Freeman in the style of one of those speechs he gives when acting as the US Presisent when a missile sent to take out an asteroid has failed.

Yes, yes it is.

Just don't get all pissy when somebody counters it with a different one.

 

[The Original]

No we don't. What next, Bradford fire, Heysel, Ibrox, etc.. etc.. All ended in tragedy, for different reasons, this one best left to LFC and it's supporters to decide how THEY want to respond.

 

[nwgull]

Yes, yes it is.

Just don't get all pissy when somebody counters it with a different one.

No it isn't; it's a place where we all have to have the same opinion in a groupthink style. You moron.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Sorry

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Anyway, so as not to offend anyone, I promise to applaud in the sixth minute on Friday*



*if we have a shot at goal or something.

 

[The Large One]

No it isn't; it's a place where we all have to have the same opinion in a groupthink style. You moron.

Is it?

I think yours is a moronic post. You don't.

A nation divided.

 

[maltaseagull]

Seems a bit random for Brighton fans to be 'marking it' at a home match, 23 years later. Yes.

Agreed. Minutes silence on anniversary of the disaster would be a great idea and absolute respect and sympathy for all those affected but this has nothing to do with this week's match.

 

[nwgull]

Is it?

I think yours is a moronic post. You don't.

A nation divided.

No it isn't. We all have to agree with each other; it's the rules.

 

[Falkor]

Nah. Morgan Freeman in the style of one of those speechs he gives when acting as the US Presisent when a missile sent to take out an asteroid has failed.

Is it true morgan freeman is poking his granddaughter?

 

[DJ Leon]

96 people died. We've all known for some time where responsibility lies and finally this is being admitted by the government. Why on earth would we mark this admission at a home game? It's a nonsense suggestion.

 

[El Presidente]

No we don't. What next, Bradford fire, Heysel, Ibrox, etc.. etc.. All ended in tragedy, for different reasons, this one best left to LFC and it's supporters to decide how THEY want to respond.

What happened was an abomination, and the authorities whose responsibility it is for public safety and order let the fans down. Anyone who went to matches in those days knows that it could have happened at other matches too. By being a football fan in that era we were stigmatised and relegated in status by the apartheid views that existed from the very top of government and permeated through the police, the media and judicial system.

The overhang from that era is that we are denied the right to stand on terraces. It is a tragic legacy and part of the sanitisation of the game, and an unholy alliance of interests whose motivations are sometimes emotional (such as relatives of the 96), and sometimes financial (the average price of a season ticket at Manchester United is now £703, it was £103 in the year of the Hillsborough tragedy, a rise of 682%, during the same period inflation has been 112%) will prevent it from returning.

The relatives of the 96 lost their loved ones, those of us who love the game have seen it lose it's soul. There are no winners in this, apart from the likes of the Glazers and Rupert Murdoch.

I don't think you'll get many arguments against much of that.

and that is the ultimate irony

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

If you wish to show support, then it's innappropriate to do it without the consent of those families affected, and utterly tactless to do it with Sheffield Wednesday fans. It's like holding a minutes silence for the Bradford victims because you're playing Lincoln City. There will probably be families of serving South Yorkshire Police Officers amongst the Wednesday support who would very much wish that the issue were not dragged up.

 

[Wozza]

I don't want to hear about Hillsborough again

You'll probably want to skip the tea-time news today then.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

few years ago? Don't you mean 23 long years. The families of the 96 have been waiting for this moment since the disgusting verdict, of accidental death! How can it be random......

this !!!
