Fucking Hell .

****, I love ya, man - but that is just bizarre. How can you blame all of Liverpool for the muder of one baby by two sick kids?

Unfortunately, kids get murdered in every city in the world...

So how many of YOU went to Spurs vs Arsenal semi final of League Cup in 1987? Not the replay, but the second leg game on the Sunday?

I was in the away end that day with loads of other Arsenal fans.

We got there early, about 50 minutes before the game, and we had tickets.

We were put into the caged pens behind the goal, and instead of letting us go where we wanted, the police and stewards held us in one of the poens until it was more than full.

Their idea was to keep it that way and then only when absolutely full to bursting let us across the terrace into the next pen.

It was no joke. I was so crushed that my feet were off the ground and my ribs started hurting.

All the fans were shouting at the police and stewards to ope the gate to the next pen, but they took no notice. In fact, that is not true.

They took notice, and just laughed at us.

Eventually they opened the gate, but it was close.

I reckon we were only minutes from a Hillsborough style incident that day, perhaps less.

Mate, absolute carnage that one, mental scenes, one of our best away days ever. We were seriously tightly packed in that night & I genuinly feel sorry for anyone crushed at the front but we were all stuck there for hours so it could never have been as closely intense as Hillsbourough could it. I just never agreed with fencing full stop & full respect to Highbury for never getting involved. Who knows, we might still have terraces if they'd never had fencing.

As for Liverpool, I think its a bit c*ntish people blaming their fans. They were'nt the only one's trying getting into games without paying, the report shows poor policing that day & it's not as if Liverpool fans plotted to kill their own is it!!!!!!!!

Finally, nobody likes to see anyone die of cancer but I would'nt expect Jade's family to be looking for some kind of natoinal bereavement either. Everyone's heart went out to Liverpool that day but they should'nt be banging on about it for our game against the Chavs in 2009.

What about our lad who got killed in 1982 at the West Ham match? one death is as bad as 96.

Because didn't you know everybody owes them something, should it be respect, pity or a fucking living.

The applause gives the impression that people can't be bothered to be quiet. Silence is far more respectful in my opinion.

Radford disagrees

Why should we be asked to stay quiet for a minute before an fa cup semi-final, Hillsboro had fuck all to do with us, so we should be entitled to enjoy our day, those scouse fuckers want the whole of football including clge qtr finals to be organised around them commemorating a tragedy they instigated themselves. Fuck them and their mins silence and mins applause.

We refused to play any games until the period of repsect and morning had been observed, carried flowers on to the pitch that night and nearly every account of the night has made a reference to the poor souls who died in April 89.

If you really are serious about this, then I suggest you take yourself off to a Chavsea website as their have more history with your mob than us.

As for behaving in a dignified manner? Tell me of any instance over the years when Arsenal fans have ever 'dissed' a minute's silence? Don't come on our forum and cast judgements about the way our fans may behave when you have had so much respect from AFC in the past.

I think i'm being misunderstood here, I was not mouthing off about you. Simply asking any match goers to not be disrespectful (every club has a minority of arseholes). I respect Arsenal for what they done that night, i'm not a part of a mob btw. Now people are making disrespectful jokes about lives lost, but I know this doesn't represent the majority of Arsenal fans.

Wayno: CCTV footage has shown that the gates were opened and not forced open. You can't argue with evidence mate.

Radford would like to point out that coming onto this forum and asking to respect the minutes silence is a bit rich. after all it was years ago. should we now do it for every football related tragedy? ibrox, bradford, heysel etc.

Radford thinks it time to put hillsborough to bed and not have to feel guilty about not remembering.

Spudmasher actually agrees with Radford on this one. However, he does wish that Radford would stop killing kittens

BRAZILLIANT 19 · Post by **BRAZILLIANT 19** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 1:41 pm

Brazilliant 19 would like to say that on this occasion he also agrees with Radford but hopes that no kittens got hurt during the making of this post

I was talking about the afternoon game on the Sunday, but you are right, the night game midweek was packed too.
