It was one of the most posioness atmospheres I have ever witnessed , when Risse broke Smiths Leg and Ankle the Kop sang, Jon Arne Risse I wanna know oooh oh oh how you broke that leg.

Later there was a round-up of the previous European Cup campaign, in which 1985/86 was identified as a watershed because it would be Liverpool s last for some time. Arsenal set for first 3pm away this season - and TV fans are hating it! There are two very obvious reasons for this widespread reluctance to talk about Heysel. At Anfield I originally had to search for the plaque, asking security staff, the museum and the stadium tour folk before a player who was there finally took me to it. No wonder John Smith was horrified and had difficulty believing a set of fans with no history of hooliganism could be partly responsible. As a Chelsea season ticket holder for many years, I witnessed the Heysel disaster unfold in front of me on television. As for the child being run over, that was dealt with by Gerrard and again, is irrelevant to Liverpool or football. But how can you want to play a game of football in a stadium where people had just died? Juventus v Liverpool, 1985 European Cup Final, Heysel Stadium, Brussels, Wednesday 29th May 1985. As you are a Chelsea fan, to say Liverpool bought their success, I think its case of the pot calling the kettle when Chelsea have been bankrolled by the Russians for a number of years. They have spent less than Chelsea and City, and the reason Man Utd and Arsenal havent spent is because of the Glazers and their well documented financial problems in the USA, and Wengers frugality and reluctance in the transfer market. Scousers rule the world. I was there and despite some expressions of sorrow, regret and portion of responsibility, I dont feel these have made their way into the public consciousness. His friend said bloody hell, theres been a bomb, which highlights the scale of the tragedy that was unfolding. pascal wager: definitive edition. I think more people need to read it!!

They had fewer games last season when they finished 7th, still a benefit? Quite apart from the hooliganism, ticketing arrangements and police strategy and responses were criticised. I also heard about one City coach having windows put through, I was very sad to read that. Well said mate, couldnt agree more. The game should never have taken place.

NEW Home cycling shorts + shirts now on the shop. Every club throughout the Premier League will have their own stories of too many Liverpool fans turning up, fake tickets, and the lack of concern many Scousers have for their own fans safety. You get the feeling UEFA has been only too keen to sweep Heysel under the carpet and consign it to history, rather than face up to its own failings on the night.

I think there needs to be a full disclosure and a written in depth report to help the football community understand the circumstances surrounding that awful night, and thats not to excuse any of the LFC fans that were found responsible. Although some have suggested National Front thugs may have been responsible for the stampede which killed 39 people at Heysel, the reality is that Liverpool fans, ordinary English footy lovers, were responsible. Heysel is an unspeakably awkward subject for Liverpool perhaps more, perhaps less, for the anguish the club and the city endured four years later at Hillsborough. The largest, most ludicrous myth around at this moment in time is that neutrals want Liverpool to win the league. Arsenal: 172m. Dark humor but thats football humor isnt it? The club had fears and voiced them. There is an annual indication and vindication of such hypocrisy every time the Kop allows the Bucharest 1986 flag to proudly fly. And yet he didnt, and I wont even waste time with the oft-circulated rumours as to why he didnt, but LFC fans just treat it like it never happened.
