NOT at the TURNSTILES.
Experienced officers should have been able to deal with crowd in the street before they got to the ground. Insufficient police presence maybe.

Donkeyman!

The police should have admitted mistakes from the start it seems they concocted a web of lies, which have been discredited.

The question was significant given suggestions, made at stages after the lethal event, that the deaths had been the consequence of the fans themselves, self-inflicted acts of suicidal, mob-directed horror. European football, and certainly English football, had developed a deep reputation for savage mob violence. It became the central point of reference for shoddy reaction on the part of authorities, an apologia for miscalculation, ineptitude and near criminal negligence.

Have you ever been to a football match and experienced being in the middle of a mob of hundreds of bevvied up scousers going to a grudge match?

I have. Years ago but they've not changed.

It would take more than bizzies to stop them. They're animals.

Exactly. Was going to mention this myself if nobody else had. In that case, two police officers were scapegoated - someone else looking to apportion blame to remove the cause of the tragedy from themselves.

24 Liverpool fans were extradited on involuntary manslaughter charges, with 14 found guilty, sentenced to three years in prison, 18 months of which was suspended.

Most football clubs have an element of thug fans, looking to cause trouble. Police seem to have a problem with Liverpool fans.

Have been to a Millwall match, playing Norwich. Most fans were OK, a minority were not there to watch and enjoy the game.

Millwall? Admittedly hard.

Norwich? Pussy cats.

Liverpool and to a lesser extent Everton? When they form a mob they are pure psychopaths.

Re: Hillsborough finally put to bed.

Hillsborough will never be put to bed, too much has been left unresolved.

Festering wounds never heal.
