It started on the sunday with the **** of the world and continued on the monday with the **** daily rag as the police tried to cover up their failings and tried to blame the fans, plus they destroyed vital video tape evidence that would have proved the police culpable in a manslaughter case.

We also had the added slap in the face of Norman Bettison being made the Chief Constable of Liverpool who denied claims that he was involved in a "black propaganda campaign" after the Hillsborough tragedy and that he was involved in a secret operation to shift blame for the football stadium disaster away from the police and onto fans.

Remember it like it was yesterday, I was working that Saturday down the coal mine when I had to get in touch with the surface control room for something, the guy in the control room said something has gone off at Hillsbrough, he was watching it on the TV in the Control room, later he phoned us back to tell us that 20 odd Liverpool fans had been killed, all the lads who I was working with at the time were football fans who supported the local team. When we got back to the surface we all went to the control room to see what was going on, grown miners covered in coal dust were stood there with tears streaming down their faces at the pictures that were being shown on TV.

20 years, didnt realise that much time had passed, but I do remember where I was, sitting in a bar in Palma Nova stunned as to what I was seeing on the TV.

Re: Hillsborough - 20th anniversary
 

Been to Palma Nova - nice place :tu: Can't imagine it being so nice whilst all this was going on tho :erm:

I was only 11, watching at home whilst my family and friends were there.

I have changed my Avatar to honour the 96 that died and have added a link to my signature for the week leading up to the 20th Anniversary of the tragedy for the Hillsborough Memorial Site so please visit it if only for a minute or two.

Re: Hillsborough - 20th anniversary
 

Nice 1 Moldova, i'm not able to give you anymore rep as you've been so helpful already this week.

Re: Hillsborough - 20th anniversary
 

This is more important than receiving a rep from anyone as all I want is for all who see my sig to take some time to visit and remember.

Thank you anyway.

It's a day that everyone that was there will never be able to forget and never ever forgive the murdoch group for their complete trashing of the truth may they rot in hell for all eternity.

Re: Hillsborough - 20th anniversary
 

Alongside that, it would also be nice for South Yorkshire Police to finally admit that they 'tampered' with statements and 'lost' valuable video tapes.

But somehow i don't see either happening :erm:

Will there be pauses in the games tomorrow? I like the idea of starting the game and stopping after 7 minutes for a silence.
