[Kenny]

I still remember everything i was doing that day .


Hopefully these documents will in someway help the truth to come out .

[TRUSSMAN66]

Kenny.......Glad you got the apology you deserved over the hillsborough tragedy Mate..

Long overdue and hope that the families and the City finds the peace and closure it's been looking for..

Shocking travesty and i hope the relevant people pay!!

all the best..

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Just to mention there is also a thread about the Hillsborough report on the general discussions board - current affairs.

[Kay Fabe]

Was out tonight at a meeting among Celtic fans about this, as many Reds may know, Celtic have been a big voice in the Justice for the 96 Campaign and have done quite a bit to help Liverpool raise awareness, quite emotional night for our Liverpudlian correspondants

Disgraceful cover-up and no apology from The Sun should ever be accepted, time for justice to now be done

Also, don't know if it's been mentioned but a very classy gesture from Everton Football Club today with the Justice for the 96 printed on their home top and plastered over the club shop window

[nasisillmatic]

That's what I love about our city, no matter how bad the bitterness and banter can get, both sets of fans can unite in moments like this.

I just hope all the Munich & Hillsborough chants can stop between us & Man Utd.

[liverbnz]

It's not just Man United and Liverpool, it's all clubs. I haven't been at Liverpool match in recent times where there opposition fans haven't started up the 'always the victim' chant. People that write it off as banter are every bit as bad too.

[nasisillmatic]

Yeah I no, I've been at Anfield when we've played Man Utd, we've been singing justice for the 96, then 10 mins later a few people start chanting Munich.

It's just horrible and embarrassing.

It's just horrible and embarrassing.

Frankly, it makes me ashamed to be a Liverpool fan, when some idiots begin with the Munich chants. I am a staunch Liverpool fan, since I have been ten years old, but I would never insult or degrade the memories of deceased human beings. It is utterly repugnant.

[Crimey]

You'll Never Walk Alone is at the top of the charts.

[GSC]

I'm just shocked Man Utd fans keep up with English media

[Guest]

Scumbags.

[GSC]

Lets be honest every fanbase has a selection of scumbags. Liverpool fans haven't been squeaky clean in this regard either. Let the cowards act tough when they're protected by a crowd, none of them would say anything alone in Liverpool.

[GSC]

A certain sign apparently displayed by Liverpool fans t Sunderland doesn't exactly teach them a lesson in class either

[Ent]

Well from constant munich chants, covering old Trafford in Poopie, throwing urine at away fans, stealing tickets from kids, rocking ambulances of injured players etc etc Liverpool fans are hardly saints.

Why don't we just accept people are dickheads instea of engaging in perpetual one upmanship.

[GSC]

That pretty much. Sadly a % of people are ****headsp

[Kenny]

Every club has its prats , have them indentified and ban them from the ground

[GSC]

Don't want Millwall to go out of business do we now Kenny

Actually...

[Kenny]

Don't want Millwall to go out of business do we now Kenny

Actually...

They were here in Hull this weekend , i can honestly say i have NEVER seen so many police at and around a football ground in my life

[GSC]

They kicked in a tram in Sheffield or something a couple of weeks ago.

Millwall away is a trip I never plan to make

[Kenny]

Last time they were here they ran riot in a local shopping center smashing windows and stealing clothes etc . My lad had tickets for the match but i told him we weren't going this time .

[Crimey]

Not feeling too confident about the game tonight, the squad isn't big enough to be successful on all fronts. Lots of first team players have been left out so the performance will likely be very disjointed.

Jones, Wisdom, Carragher, Coates, Enrique, Shelvey, Sahin, Henderson, Downing, Yesil, Morgan, Gulacsi, Robinson, Coady, Suso, Sterling, Pacheco, Assaidi.

That's the squad that's being taken.

I'd line up like:

Jones

Enrique
Carragher
Coates
Robinson

Shelvey
Sahin
Henderson

Assaidi
Morgan/Yesil
Downing

I think Sterling should be rested as I imagine he'll start against United, unless Rodgers is planning to play defensively. I'd be tempted to start Pacheo ahead of Assaidi or Downing, it depends on how he'd work on the wing. There are no right backs in the squad though other than Wisdom who I'm really not sure should be starting (where is Flanagan?), so either it'll be how I've shown it with a left back playing right back, or Sahin will fill in there, or play three centre backs.

[Kenny]

I don't like our chances tonight either , i can see him starting Wisdom and Suso on the right . While i do think they need to given a chance i'm not sure this is the right game to make so many changes

[Crimey]

Jones, Enrique, Coates, Carragher, Wisdom, Henderson, Sahin, Suso, Downing, Assaidi, Pacheco

That's the team. Surprised Wisdom is given the start, I expect a good game from Sahin. Pacheo as the main striker is surprising as well, thought he was more of a second striker/attacking midfielder.

Would take a draw right now.

[Crimey]

What a header from Wisdom!

Awful goal conceded, but still ahead so is all good.

[Guest]

Really good stuff so far.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

On this showing your reserve team is better than your first team

[Crimey]

Weirdly the two weak links seem to be Carragher and Enrique, the experienced players.

Suso's control is excellent, could do with getting into the game a bit more. Same goes for Pacheo.

[GSC]

Thats because Carragher is miles past it.

[Guest]

I do hope Carragher doesn't stumble his way into retirement and only get game time because of his status at the club.

[Crimey]

Well he's been told he's still part of plans next year, let's hope those plans are for him to go into coaching...

Second half started poorly, need to score now. This game is a game we really need to win if we want to even get close to getting out of the group.

[GSC]

He should've retired and taken up coaching already tbh

[Guest]

I have a feeling he'll follow Gary Neville's lead and take a position within in the media, possibly SKY. Perhaps he'll juggle that with a coaching role?

[GSC]

Its almost painful to watch. He shouldn't be near a PL squad.

[Crimey]

The thing is, I don't understand how he has so quickly gone in quality, it can't be his pace, as he was never the fastest anyway.

He just doesn't seem to have that ability to see when and where to tackle, he never seems to tackle at all any more.

[Good Golly I'm Olly]

I remember at Carrow Road last year when you beat us 3-0, he was immense at the back. Commanding, didnt set a foot wrong all game.

Now seems to be a shadow of a player

[Guest]

He does look good against crap Olly I'll give him that.

I'll have you know we were the 12th best team in England last season Freek

I'm only ribbing ya Olly. I've always had a soft spot for the Canaries. I remember Jeremy Goss in his pomp you know..

[Crimey]

Another good goal.

I don't get why some people don't rate Shelvey. He's awesome.

Technically Man Utd beat them at an away ground inside 90 minutes.

[liverbnz]

Enrique now looks and plays like Dossena.

Technically, it was inside 93 minutes.

#pedant

[Crimey]

Enrique now looks and plays like Dossena.

I don't know what has happened to him. I'm hoping this game was because he's just getting back from injury. He's has looked a little off since January though. Let's hope he can improve.

Ok we are the only English team to beat Bayern Munich at there own ground. Don't take this away from me

[Kenny]

Overall you have to be pleased with the win , a few stand out performances and a few i'm sure certain players will want to forget . But 3 points is 3 points and it puts us comfortably at the top of the group

[Guest]

Anybody going to watch the fly-on-the-wall show tonight on Five? I might have a butchers after the Blackburn match.
