There is only one united and it on the other side of the Pennines!

He is.

And like most of them, has probably never even been to Old Trafford!

Nobody has answered my original question, which was:

What explanation do all those people without tickets have for crowding the gates in the first place?

If fans turning up without tickets was the cause there would have been a crush at every football match that was held in the 80s.

Thankfully the truth was published today. There is always going to be idiots who, for whatever reason, want to accept another version of events - perhaps they've believed the lies the police have been spouting ever since or maybe it's just a hatred of scousers. Either way it's clear today's events will have changed the minds of a lot of people...

I think theres a lot more people who dont really care about what happened 23 years ago and are living in the now.

But you know they are the same.

Interesting little spot of bother you've got yourself into. I hope no one lets you near code.

No not really. Every gang has the lead bully and the hangers-on bullies. I had you down as the lead bully but it's evident that's giving you too much credit.

Personally I think being the bully would be better than being a 'really hard' kid who not only stood by watching the bullies hurt weaker kids, but enjoyed it. Are you sure that's really the story you want to stick with?

Don't forget Heysel:

Officially the entire blame for the incident was laid on the fans of Liverpool FC. On 30 May official UEFA observer Gunter Schneider said, "Only the English fans were responsible. Of that there is no doubt." UEFA, the organiser of the event, the owners of Heysel Stadium and the Belgian police were never investigated for culpability. There was no official inquiry into the causes of the disaster.
After an 18-month investigation, the dossier of top Belgian judge Marina Coppieters was finally published. It concluded that blame should rest solely with the English fans.

At my school there was one really hard kid.

He'd had his fair share of being picked on and one day realised that the reason he was bullied was because he was a foot taller than anyone else and that actually gave him a massive advantage in a fight, but he had enough other stuff going for him that he didn't need to try and act the hard man. He stepped up and saved me from a beating once, and after that I realised all I had to do was stand up for myself.

He was the only ****er who consistently beat me at chess as well, and not because I let him win either.

When he left school he presented them with a picture he'd spent 3 months drawing which they promptly hung on the wall near the entrance, cos it was bloody good.

Good lad he was.
