As the Authority supposed to be managing the crowd at the game, anything that went wrong and resulted in loss of life is bound to land at the door of the Police - which it has done so. That doesn't alter the fact that millions have seen the footage of the Liverpool fans surging towards the gates just before KO. I wonder if it were Millwall or City fans back then, would the eventual outcome/enquiry been the same ?
