I am a Manchester United supporter, and have never held Liverpool/scousers in particularly high regard. But some things go beyond tribalism.rivalry. I was 1 at the time of the Hillsborough disaster so can't pass comment on the state of the game at the time, well other than what I have been told. My uncle was there that day and thankfully no in the LL end. Imagine had he been one of the unfortunate ones and I had never grown up knowing him? SO many others have grown up never meeting their father, mother, brother etc. Why? What for? Their crime? Supporting the team they love, the events of 15th April 1989 changed the face of English football for ever.
Like I say I am United to the core and dislike LFC, but those who try to score points from the death of innocent people are sub human scum and have clearly never lost anyone close to them. It has been proven that the blame lies with the South Yorks police for failing to control the numbers both in and outside Hillsborough that day. Ok plenty of scousers didn't have tickets and perhaps didn't help matters but I don't think anyone with half a brain can lay the blame on them. 96 Innocent people went to watch their team and never came home, very sad for the city of Liverpool, the north west and the sport as a whole.
RIP people
totally uncalled for
