Bloody hell.......I haven't half stirred up some feelings over my grudges.
I know it's all been said before, but here's my tuppence worth.
SYP must take most of the blame for this tragedy. All police forces back in the 80's dealt with football crowds a lot, and all had procedures in place. To put an inexperienced controller in charge of such a massive game was a huge mistake. Especially at a ground he had hardly been to before.
The Liverpool supporters have to take some of the blame for this. Not one police officer or steward or reporter of first aid person crushed anyone to death that day. Only the supporters did that.
JFT96 was a cause worth fighting for, a cause that wanted no blame attached to the dead. The 96 are absolutely in no way responsible or to blame for their deaths.
But no one who is thinking clearly can say that about EVERY other Liverpool supporter that day.
