BangrakBob Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Rix, this subject has been done to death...please drop it. The answer is he was found guilty by an FA kangaroo court which is a meaningless verdict in most peoples minds and the whole thing would be laughed out of a real court. Mate, if the resurrection of this tiresome subject had began with yes he was found guilty of racial abuse but... then fair enough, i might not of agreed with all the various buts that followed, but i would of accepted that as being someone's opinion. But it didn't, it began with, he wasn't found guilty of racially abusing anyone, and this is plain untruthful nonsense that i don't accept... i don't think you would of either if you hadn't been so sidetracked with jumping on the chance to tell us what a despicable person Evra is and what a bunch of clowns the FA are. As i said before, had he been found not guilty and had i come on here a couple of days ago proclaiming that in fact he had, do you not think that would have warranted a response along the lines of "what the f*** are you talking about?"? I think it just might have. <deleted>, this subject was brought up by YOU in reply to wellred's comments on page 414 regarding a handshake. Don't make me your scapegoat pal.

Agree Yesil I think BR is going to have to play him whether he wants to or not once an injury here or there pops up. He may as-well get him out there now from the bench. I highly rate the kid, ready for a starting spot sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellred Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Like I said this is a perfect opportunity for Rogers to test the kids and see who is capable of stepping up and who isn't. With such a bare side the expectations must surely be lower. Plus it probably relieves some of the pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its no bad thing is it because this is the direction it looks like he's going to have to go regardless. He is going to have to be very astute at rotating these youngsters to avoid burn outs but theres no doubting the quality od the likes of Coates and Sterling in particular. If the fans look at the whole picture with realistic expectations there could be some real plus marks over the coming months. My concerns would be stupid expectations from FSG.

This committee is FSG's attempt at dealing with that but not only that it means there is someone representing them ON THE GROUND as oppose to in the states. Ideally we would have an MD, a David Dien type character but I guess they have not found their man yet so this will do until then. Also Todayonline? May as well be goal.com... as it wreaks of bs. Utd and Arsenal both have seperate scouting teams too. And I don't think Rogers will walk out either. He is a man of integrity and it would look stupid on FSG if they let him go as he was essentially their choice after letting Kenny go.

MrRed Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 In the small room above the Hillsborough Justice Campaign shop in Anfield, Kenny Derbyshire is used to meeting strangers. "Survivors still turn up out of the blue. They'll stand there, numb, unable to speak and break down in tears. This city is still suffering, until we get the truth no one can move on." This week, 23 years after 96 football fans died at Hillsborough, the city ofLiverpool hopes that, finally, the truth will out. An independent panel of experts, chaired by the Bishop of Liverpool, James Jones, has spent 20 months examining 450,000 internal documents relating to Britain's worst sporting disaster. On Wednesday, the panel will aim to deliver a definitive narrative into the events of 15 April 1989, when a fatal crush developed at the Leppings Lane end of the Sheffield stadium before an FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Sources say it will find "in favour" of the families and illustrate, in detail, the lengths to which South Yorkshire police orchestrated a "cover up" to hide their culpability by blaming the fans. The city hopes this will be the week that will finally clear the names of the supporters, who were maligned as drunk, ticketless and unruly, a portrayal perpetrated by police and articulated by the Sun newspaper under the headline: "The truth". Michael Mansfield QC, who will be with families at Liverpool cathedral this Wednesday to offer free legal advice following the release of the documents, hopes myths will be laid to rest. The lawyer, who specialises in miscarriages of justice, said: "It was a false story, it's time to put it to bed." Margaret Aspinall, whose son, James, 18, died, said the smear campaign directed by those culpable for the disaster had deepened Liverpool's grief. "It's not just the survivors, we have to clear their names [the dead] … I get angry when I think they have allowed the families to suffer for 23 years, to allow the survivors to go through torture knowing it was a cover-up." No one from the government or police has apologised and no organisation or individual has been sanctioned, despite Lord Justice Taylor's official inquiry in 1989 which found that police failures caused the tragedy. "Liverpool has always been a militant town, but the attitude to Hillsborough destroyed any trust in the government. It can never be repaired," says Derbyshire. He agrees that the sense of injustice has amplified the emotional fallout from a tragedy that keeps claiming victims. The Hillsborough Justice Campaign knows of least six survivors who have taken their own lives because they could not come to terms with the disaster or the official response it drew. Two weeks ago, a male survivor threw himself beneath a train. "There a lot of walking wounded out there, broken marriages, people turning to drink," says Derbyshire, 46. "Thousands remain traumatised. To many it feels like it happened yesterday." Aged 22, Derbyshire was yanked to safety from the crush by fellow supporters. "I can still hear the screams, people begging for help, people going down and not coming up again." He stares across the street to Liverpool's Kop stand. "I've survived because I've learnt to talk about it." If the verdict, as expected, chronicles errors by the police and other public bodies, the demand for fresh inquests will be overwhelming. For the Hillsborough families, the coroner's hearings into the 96 fatalities, and subsequent verdict of accidental death, cannot be allowed to stand. In particular, Dr Stefan Popper's decision to impose an "artificial" cut-off at 3.15pm on the day of the tragedy, after which point no evidence was taken, has been condemned. It has always seemed a curious decision to many, coming just 11 minutes after a barrier snapped on the terracing of the Leppings Lane end, causing the 3.04pm "surge" which prompted the worst of the crushing. For the first time, details of what happened after 3.15pm on the day of the crush, in which 766 were also injured, will emerge this week. In particular, the documents are expected to dissect the chaotic response by the emergency services. Just one out of 42 ambulances summoned to Hillsborough made it on to the pitch. Only 14 of the dead were taken to hospital. Paramedics have said the basic practice of clearing patients' airways was not done. Crucially, a clearer picture of how many more lives might have been saved is expected to emerge. It is apparent that some were alive long after 3.15pm. "Different places, different times, different reasons, but obviously some were alive beyond that point," said Mansfield. Reports have described bodies laid by the river Don, presumed dead. Corpses were left by the Leppings Lane end, though no qualified medic had examined them. How many of the dead could have been saved? One mother, Anne Williams, whose son Kevin, 15, died, has evidence that her son displayed signs of life at 4pm. An off-duty officer told her he felt a pulse. A special constable said Kevin opened his eyes and whispered: "Mum". Their statements were changed following a visit from West Midlands police, whose serious crime unit was disbanded in 1989 amid allegations of corrupt conduct by officers. Both witnesses stand by their original statements. Signs are growing that the government could lodge an application to the high court for a round of fresh inquests. The attorney general, Dominic Grieve, promised yesterday to consider this week's evidence and then decide "as quickly as I can". Aspinall, vice-chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, admits she is haunted by the thought that her son might have survived. "I don't know what happened or who helped my son. Why was he laid on his back and not in the recovery position? Who said he died at ten to four?" Clues to the extent of the alleged cover-up can already be found in documents from South Yorkshire police released several years ago, after a government order. They show how a unit of senior officers vetted junior officers' statements. Criticisms of the police were ordered to be removed, yet the undoctored statements betray a police leadership in disarray. More darkly, they indicate a smear campaign against Liverpool supporters. One fan, said to have vomited beer, was found to have no alcohol in his system. In one statement, an officer bizarrely wrote: "Liverpool fans murdered Liverpool fans." South Yorkshire police have still to explain by whom and why the notebooks were doctored. Not one officer among the 800 on duty that day has said sorry. Although Derbyshire reveals that a couple have rung his campaign group anonymously, the lack of a public apology rankles. Aspinall said: "Not one has had the balls to come out and say we were told to change our statements, not one." The ongoing silence compounds the feeling that the force remains reluctant to accept responsibility. It is hoped that on Wednesday the panel will give reassurances that they have received all the documentation relating to Hillsborough. The fact that, 14 years after Lord Justice Stuart-Smith's judicial scrutiny of Hillsborough evidence, hundreds of thousands of documents are about to be disclosed corroborates the suspicion of a system operating against the families' interests. Aspinall added: "If anything new comes out on Wednesday, then it means not one person has wanted to release it to us despite all our attempts. Why was that?"

MrRed Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Margaret Aspinall, chair of the Hillsborough Family Support Group, said the families, survivors of the disaster, Liverpool football supporters and the wider Liverpool public should receive an apology from the prime minister for the years of false accusations which she argued amounted to a coverup. Cameron's apology in 2010 for the security services' and other official failures exposed by the Saville report into the Bloody Sunday violence in Derry in 1972 was profoundly significant to the victims' families, and Aspinall sees that as a model for the response to the Hillsborough report.

Irrespective of what you think of Cameron, he just happens to be the latest seat warmer who is expected to offer this apology. Of more significance is the fact that the Scum newspaper, with Murdoch's tacit approval and McKenzie's despicable editorship, were doing this sensationalist crap for reporting that long ago and it's taken a few recent embarrassments to the establishment to actually ask why. I wish a bunch of friendly scousers would come across either of them and give them the leathering they deserve. Now *that* would give satisfaction to the families, even if closure is probably unattainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now *that* would give satisfaction to the families, even if closure is probably unattainable. the families want all those who lied to admit that they lied and say sorry. that'll do for a start. they need to be told why only one ambulance was allowed in and why others were not and who made up the lie that fans were fighting which was why further emergency medical staff couldn't enter the ground. why the ground had no safety certificate, why the gates were locked, why the police were ordered to line up on the halfway line instead of helping people who were dying. then we'll start on the slander and the smears after the criminal negligence. who orchestrated the cover-up and briefed the press - yes you bernard ingham - what duckenfield's full role and blame was, why police statements and evidence were changed and by whom, whose decision it was to force the cut-off time of 3.15pm when people were still dying. what inevitably thatcher's role in the cover-up was, how much the then prime minister knew and authorised. it isn't too much to ask now this. that's what will give the families closure and allow them to grieve properly.
