Kenwright's speech:

[Arquitecto]

Skipped class and was fortunate to view the whole ceremony. Absolutely wonderful speech by Kenwright and very thankful to see no incidences of embarrassment from our players as you can expect nothing less from the other attendees.

Seeing Suarez nearly break down was moving and a testament to his relationship with the club.

JFT96. Thoughts and prayers with the families.

"In England, following the Hillsborough tragedy, police adopted a zero tolerance approach to such antics, insisting everyone sits in their own numbered seats."

When she writes about antics, she refers to fan violence.

Hillsborough, Directed by Daniel Gordon

25 years ago, on April 15, 1989, the worst disaster in British football history occurred in an overcrowded stadium in Sheffield, England, 150 miles north of London. 3,000 fans flocked through the turnstiles to head to the area reserved for standing, despite a capacity of less than half of that. The result was a “human crush” that killed 96 people and injured 766.  Initially the police blamed fans for the disaster, but a long investigation revealed that was not the truth. Prior to the disaster at Hillsborough, British football was known for the grime of its stadiums, hooligan fans and inadequate facilities, but great change came after the Hillsborough disaster. What emerged is now known as the most rich and powerful soccer league in the world, the English Premier League.

A year has gone by and on the 25th Anniversary 96 of them are remembered never to be forgotten. .

[iftikhar]

@ r-34, would you change the thread title to something along the line :Hillsborough Memorial Thread/JFT96 etc. This thread was created last year.

[Fahim89]

btw i don't know if any of the admins might bump in here but as the whole football world has given their tributes on the occasion I just had a request or a suggestion to change our Header picture for a day in memory of the 96. I don't know how long Red-O has been off grid but if anyone bumps in.

[Kick]

I have updated the thread title for you guys.

Just finished watching the 30 for 30... shaking with anger. No matter how many times I watch or read things on this, I still can't believe this happened and that the people in power were this arrogant towards it.

Feel free to pm if you want a link, although I don't know how long they'll be up.

Just watched this, every single bloody red has to watch this it was brilliant.

[McAgger]

Actually for those that already know all about Hillsborough and seen enough footage of it over the years, I would recommend not watching that. While being a fantastically made documentary it adds nothing new to what most of us already knew. It opens up old wounds and is really hard to take emotionally.

But some that don't know the details then I guess you should definitely give it a watch.
