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

A good link Damien thank you.

Remember the 2 minutes silence today.

The Virgin UK call centres are honouring this as well so please do not call from 3pm onwards till around 3.10pm

On the pitch it's war but on the terraces it's very different. There's already a facebook group set up by Man United fans extracting the urine about the date, that's utterly shameful and disgusting.

RIP the 96.

It is, although I don't understand what you mean, what about the date? Or do you mean the event itself?

Russ · 15-04-2009, 17:12

About the event - it's been taken down now though thankfully.

The Hillsborough Drama starring Christopher Eccelston is on ITV3 at 9pm tonight. Very moving stuff!

I don't understand how people can be so hurtful, these are 96 DEAD people who left the house that morning hoping to return that evening after a football game.

I've been to the memorial today to pay my respects and its been one of the most horrible days, although nowhere near what the loved ones of those had to go through. Feelings were running very high when the MP spoke on behalf of the government, and maybe GB will see now what it would mean to the loved ones to get the answers they so long for. May they rest in peace and justice finally prevail. RIP 96 loved ones.

I didn't even get to the end of it. I've worked this evening after the memorial, so haven't seen any of the programmes. I will watch them all Friday.

I watched the video with John Aldridge and Alan Hansen then I watched the Hillsborough memorial on the History channel and found it almost unbelievable what those people went through and the mental anguish that can never truly go away.

The survivor, the father and the mother and father who in so many ways will never forgive themselves for what happened that day, then the players and even Kenny Daglish who witnessed the event and then visited the injured in hospital sometimes with tragic news to follow.

Then the authorities who to this day have not faced prosecution when all evidence points to the need for a prosecution.

Never forget the 96 who never returned home from a game of football.

Hillsborough is a wound that won't heal until someone or something is held accountable for what happened that day it wasn't an accident it was a result of incompetence and negligence pure and simple and 96 people paid for it and hundreds will forever be scarred by it we all deserve justice.

Doing the right thing or a cynical attempt to buy votes in Liverpool?

Anything that can give the families a bit of closure is a good thing and being such a militant city, i'm sure we wouldn't be swayed

Vote buying attempt.

If the video evidence went missing what hope do they have of written evidence actually existing that would point the finger at themselves.

Here is an interesting PDF on the tragedy.
