A testament to the determination of the families to never give up on the memories of their loved ones, so often besmirched and blackened by the likes of The S*n, the establishment and the South Yorkshire Police.

YNWA

 

Watched them all on Sky sports news holding hands, signing YNWA outside the court.

Glad they finally have some justice, but what will come of it?

 

Peace of mind for the families - nothing more.

 

Charges will be sought I imagine. I doubt the families will let the police who lied and were named in the enquiry, to be allowed to get off with the guilt of this incident without consequence.

 

found myself getting emotional watching all the stuff, makes you wonder why this took so long.

It's taken them 27 years for them to admit "alright, we done it" to which the families are rejoicing, claiming justice has finally been done. In any other case this wouldn't be justice, but after all the media lies and even government lies getting them to admit this is a huge achievement, I doubt they'll carry on their campaign for much longer.

 

I found myself shedding a tear when reading the verdict earlier. I am not a particularly emotional guy but found myself welling up thinking of those families finally getting what they've fought so long for! Justice!!

 

Glad to hear that this is the outcome.

 

Compensation next I'd imagine..

 

Don't think it's ever been about compo, I'd imagine they will hope to pursue criminal proceeding against the police, local council etc next.

 

I know that mate, but surely it's a step they should be taking..

Dragged kid's and families names through the mud for nearly 30 year's. I've not seen the outcome today other than on here but I remember doing a walk in London some year's ago with a diehard Scouser i worked with and it was emotional then, seeing the pain it has caused..

I wind some up on here but always quite liked the Scousers. Proper support by and large..

For all those that covered up and blatantly lied. Scum..

 

Never bought The Sun in my life it's amazing living in Merseyside you see it get delivered every morning to my local newsagents go in after work around 7 and not a copy has been sold

 

I hate that scummy paper. Vile.

 

I didn't think it was even up for purchase round the Mersey!

 

The 96 Angels.
T'was the 15th of April, in the year 1989 - even thinking of it yet, sends shivers down the spine - the FA Cup semi final, tickets sold to the full - to the adoring fans of Forest, and the mighty Liverpool.



The Liverpool fans arrived in their numbers, by bus and by train - they made their way to their allocation, in Hillsborough's Leppings Lane - the police were on patrol, but many lives soon to be wrecked - for an entire section of that support, they failed dearly to protect.



Only seven turnstiles were available, to this excited, loyal crowd - only there to see their hero's, the men who made them proud - the police opened an exit gate, to ease the pressure outside - one of many fateful decisions, they later tried to hide.



This gate it led to a tunnel, normally not the rule - it led these innocent supporters to a stand, already completely full - the authorities should have been in position, they should have been on hand - but in a grave police oversight, that tunnel was unmanned.



People spilled onto the pitch, as the BBC went live - hundreds of innocent people, they battled to survive - the fans rallied together, their fellow supporters to save - they were shocked and frightened, but they were loyal and brave.



The death toll mounted, as thousands cried - as a result of this tragedy, 96 fans died - 94 passed away that day, then the next day one more - as 14 year old Lee Nicol, made his way to Heaven's door.



Jon-Paul Gilhooley, the youngest one to die, was only 10 years old - the death of a child in any circumstances, always the saddest story told - in many ways he still lives on, to believe it, isn't hard - his memory shaped the career of his cousin, club legend Stevie Gerrard.



4 painful years later, in March 19 and 93 - the last of the the victims, from his pain was set free - 22 year old Tony Bland, his family did adore - but the dedicated hospital staff, they could do no more.



Steven Brown and Peter Thompson, oh how can we forget - poor expectant fathers, had kids they never met - just some of the tragic stories, sadly too many to name - and just like the Sun Newspaper, the authorities forever hang their heads in shame.



Many decades later, and their memories live on - and while the Liverpool family remember them, they're never truly gone - down around Anfield way, when the scarves and flags are flown - we sing the message to 96 angels, You'll Never Walk Alone.

 

Remember the day well!! My dad told me about as he heard it on the Radio coming back up from * Saltcoats!!! Sameday I ended up dirt tracking at 100mph on my motorbike when a car driving pulled ou in nfront of me.RIP!!!

 

One of the mothers said she can finally accept a death certificate for her son.

Doubt Duckenfield will see any consequences, but we'll see.

 

Seemed like the only real outcome.

 

Yeah most shops stock it just no1 ever seems too buy it even most Everton fans hate the sight of it
