The Liverpool chairman said that at the time and it was part of what is generally perceived as a lot of blame-shifting concerning Heysel. I assume it's a contributory factor to the 'always the victims, it's never your fault' chant although I don't remember hearing the chant before the Suarez/Evra affair, which Liverpool handled spectacularly badly. When Man Utd fans have sung it there's been an assumed link with Hillsborough but Everton fans have sung it too so there must be more to it than that (surely Everton fans can't be that stupid?).
