That Sturridge pic
Good to see lots of media attention on the 30th anniversary of the Bradford City stadium fire where 56 lost their lives.
No... no wait... no they're still talking about Liverpool...
I believe there was a minutes silence/applause at every league fixture earlier in the season.
I find it embarrassing to be a football fan when people use Hillsborough as some sort stick to beat Liverpool fans with. Especially as a Spurs fan as there but for the grace of God could have been us.
Know your history.
It might also help if you read the newspapers and follow what is happening with the current Hillsborough inquiry. You might start sharing some of my embarrassment.
I doubt it. But you might.
I'm not using Hillsborough as a stick to beat Liverpool fans with, they're using it as a stick to beat everyone else, something which a large proportion of people are fed up with. In fact I didn't even mention Hillsborough and am not too sure where you made the link... are Liverpool defined by it?
As you brought it up though, do you think the media coverage between Bradford and Hillsborough are proportionate?
You're not sure where I made the link.....
Are you retarded or troll?
Are Liverpool defined by Hillsborough?
Do they have the monopoly on football-related disasters?
Do you think the media coverage between the Bradford fire and Hillsborough are proportionate?
To reiterate: I believe the media spend far too much time talking about Liverpool. A lot of this thread is about this very idea. My comment was that even on the 30th anniversary of the Bradford City fire, the main articles on the BBC Sport website are about Liverpool. I find this somewhat distasteful and don't understand why this particular avoidable disaster doesn't get more coverage.
Aye, cheers SteeeeeveeeeGeeeee, fuck off now and try not to batter a DJ on your way out. Cunt.Here we go, the uk media is already in fawning mode as a scouser that still pays five quid for a haircut will not play for them anymore
Apparently as football fans we should all applaud his contribution........no thanks, not my fault that the media not only ignores supporters and rips them off but also does not get football rivalry.
Yes good player in his day, but thats it, did fuck all for his country.........
