So there won't be a deluge of compensation claims then?


Would money be what you wanted if one of your loved ones was killed?

On the contrary, the police have been consistently blamed by the media.  It shouldn't be about blame, it was a fooking tragedy.  It should be about learning so that it can never happen again.


And those who broke the law, untrialed and unpunished?

It's a pretty horrible question. You're effectively asking if people are bothered about getting some justice for their dead children or are just after a bit of compo.


Okay, fair point.  Hopefully if there's a case to be answered it will be answered.  But let's see how many compensation claims are lodged against drunken fans.  Nil would be my guess.

To be honest i never think the case will be put to bed fully, when you think its gone quiet some new evidence will appear but hopefully todays new evidence will let the families of the 96 rest a little more easy.

You miss my point I feel.  If someone has deliberately committed a crime then I sincerely hope that justice prevails.  However, let's hope that justice is consistent and that it isn't just attributed to the easy targets. I.e. the police.

Have you actually watched the news today? You might have heard that the independent panel which has spend hundreds of hours reviewing all available evidence have said there is no evidence of large numbers of drunken, ticketless, violent fans. Even Cameron stated categorically that Liverpool fans were in no way at all responsible for what happened. This idea, which unbelievably you're still perpetuating, was effectively invented by South Yorkshire police to cover up their own culpability.

I feel very very sad for the families of the 96.  I watched the dreadful scenes live on tv and it was truly horrific.  But here we are many many years on, is it really about closure or is it now about finding someone accountable so that massive compensation claims can be lodged?  That's a question by the way, not a statement.


No it's not about that. . . That's an answer, not just an opinion!

No, money brings no-one back, neither does blame.
