    Establishment looked after one of their own

    Yep, a few new things Arthur. Link to the show below. Sad seeing recent video footage of Anne Williams before she passed away

    When you see the cover up for what it was, it is sickening

    Unbelievable that anyone who saw any of the footage on the day could possibly think that nothing could be done after 3:15pm.

    They will all still get away with it in the end. Too much time gone by, and will all be hidden behind different excuses.
    You should not confuse your career with your life.

    Agreed...nothing will ever happen to those responsible. And IMHO should anything similar happen again, God forbid, then the "Establishment" would act in exactly the same way. Even today I bet those responsible for that tragedy and for the cover up still think they were right...after all, what are we but "mad, swivel-eyed loons"...

    It was a disgrace from top to bottom but scrutiny will be tighter these days. It comes down to a very basic small but significant fact

    If the crowd had had mobile phones and cameras on that day, do you think it could have been covered up in the way it was?

    Fair point Clive, different times in 1989 but there were plenty of photographers around that day from the press and are many harrowing images from the day viewable. It took all of ten minutes to get the smear campaign started and its taken almost my entire lifetime for thr truth to officially come out

    Agree, Clive. But I think the knee-jerk automatic response of many parts of the Establishment would still be to try and cover-up anything which reflects badly on them, no matter what the consequences on mere plebs!

    Class and decency personified. Everton are so fortunate to have him. Bill Kenwright also gave a very moving address at last years memorial service. Hillsborough really does unite the city.

    We seem to be in an era of semi literate, intelligent football managers.

    Pardew, Alladyce, Pulis, Hughes, Bruce, Wenger, Mourinho, Rednapp, Sherwood, and Moyes obviously excepted.
