The horrific suffering, frustration, impotence, sense of injustice and anger that those families and fans have endured for 24 year makes poogate and Gusgate pale into absolute insignificance.
It does indeed

The chief police officers in charge of planning for the match & the following cover up should take some of the blame for the Hillsborough disaster, but so should every football hooligan who ran amok during the seventies & eighties. There actions resulted in all top flight grounds (including the Goldstone ) having to erect pitch side perimeter fencing, without the perimeter fencing so many lives may not have been lost at Hillsborough.

Unfortunately the culture around footie across Europe in the '80s lead to fans being treated more as animals than sports fans. The fences were a quick fix to contain hooligans but quietly overlooking that locking people behind them might have other safety implications.
This was compounded by the FA selecting Hillsborough as the venue when there were already safety concerns and it did not have the full safety certification.
Then having made flawed strategic decisions it created the scenario for a disaster by having incompetent people in critical roles on the day who made fatally flawed decisions.
.....and yet some still peddle the lies.
You've no idea how much that has followed me over the years and how much that has deeply deeply hurt me over the years, that people could think.. they are virtually blaming me for killing my own brother and his girlfriend.
