Hillsborough Police Chief Verdict

[life on mars]

The jury had to decide if Duckenfield was solely responsible for the victims deaths. There were too many other factors and other people involved for him not to be solely responsible so I'm not surprised at the verdict.

You can't pin sole responsibility to a single man, yes he made mistakes so do many others , and dare I say do did some fans behaviours , in an era which is best laid to rest

Awful tragedy as was the Heysel Stadium disaster when Juventus fans were trying to escape from Liverpool fans.

What on earth has Heysel got to do with what happened at Hillsborough? Seems to me that you're trying to deflect blame on to the Liverpool fans for what happened in April 1989.

Erecting fences and putting people in pens was a way of dealing with hooliganism in the 70s and 80s and, surely, the lesson of Hillsborough is that it was a failed plan - something had to be done about dealing with hooliganism, but the "answer" the authorities came up with to it caused the death of ninety six innocent people.

I agree that it would be wrong to pin all of the blame for what happened on Duckenfield, but, as you point out, the only person who has been shown to be to blame through the courts for what happened is Sheffield Wednesday's safety officer and then it was for a minor Health and Safety offence.

It is disgraceful that almost thirty one years after the event, there is still no person or party who have been found to be legally responsible for the entirely avoidable deaths of all of those people - I don't blame the families of the dead and the injured for reacting like they did after hearing yesterday's verdict.

Let's go further and remind ourselves the authorities supported by some tabloids attempted to deflect any blame by alleging the fans were guilty of hooliganism which was a contributory cause of the disaster. Additionally, some even alleged this hooliganism continued throughout the event. All these allegations were found to be utter bollocks and forwarded by the authorities in an attempt to cover up any blame attached to them. The disaster was caused by negligence. Pure and simple.

This is only a personal opinion but South Yorkshire Police constabulary during the 80s were right cuunts. They acted more like ****ing storm troopers than a police force, not only with football fans.

I'm 100% convinced LoM is a closet Man United fan. I've asked him several times previously when he's posted about Man Utd and Liverpool in differing lights. He's never responded.

I thought it was later shown that they were fans of another European club posing as Liverpool fans. But I'm willing to corrected.

Fair play you are a clueless chump. In your head you think you obviously know more than. the findings of the Taylor report and the inquest result of 2016.

You’ve then brought Heysel into it with a not so thinly veiled ‘well it was Liverpool fans there too, I’m just saying’ type post.

If this was 1989 I dare say you’d be sharing that link from The Sun saying ‘The Truth’ as you seem to like sharing drivel from right wing media outlets.
