Pathetic.

Utterly pathetic.

And yet, so predictable.

Yep. They haven't had any attention for five minutes so they have to, yet again get some. Perhaps if they're that interested in bans, they could now reflect upon how their actions got English clubs banned from Europe for five years. Fucking move on.

Why is this happening now? As Perry just said it is the lack of publicity for five minutes that is driving them..Or maybe a way to deflect from recent performances.. It is sooo Liverpool

I can understand the reason.

However, Murdoch owns the Sun and the Times, as well as Sky (nearly). If he takes it personally would he ban Liverpool from Sky and The Time? No live match revenue or coverage. Be interesting to see how this pans out.

Typical Victims FC. :roll: This type of shit cheapens the memory of 96 innocent people that were murdered by a combination of criminal negligence by the Police and the behaviour of their own so called fans.

The hysteria and modern day "JfT96" campaign are so far separated from the awful tragedy itself. this isn't about the victims, it is about everybody acknowledging how much the club and the city has been wronged.

It was absolutely clear to any impartial observer that rather than providing closure or whatever, any parliamentary or judicial intervention would just lead to even more frenzied demands for public prosecutions and other campaigns.

What happened that day was a disaster of unthinkable nature and proportions and I can't imagine what so many people must have been feeling afterwards. But this constant barrage of scattergun assaults from the club and the fans is just detracting from what this is all about - 96 people going to football and not coming back, not the world being against Liverpool FC.

Sad c.unts - as if there's any relationship between the editorial team of 1989 and the journalists of today. Most of today's journos were in short trousers when it happened

That's the thing with victims they need to be felt sorry for and pitied all the time - Without an excuse they can't blame the world for everything and why it is always someone else's fault ...
