Lol, is that because being working class means you are a cunt? Bollocks to that, if you treat people like children then they act like it. They wouldn't act so aggressively if the other fans were sat next to them and the behaviour is passively tolerated / encouraged in other ways. | |||

Man U were asked to turn up at four.
The police knew the streets around Upton Park would be full.
Rooney was making wanker signs to the West Ham fans before anything happened.
Don't disagree that Man U should arrive early and they will get sanctioned by the PL or should it be Sky who really sanctions them as it throws their scheduling out. Arriving 4 hours B4 a game is too much and you have them sat around in a poxy changing room for hours, it won't be long before the PL clubs arrive by helicopter to London clubs to avoid the traffic and potential trouble spots like last night. From a neutral point of view the after match show was garbage,self indulgent and poorly stage managed, I appreciate to WH fans it may have come across differently but for sky it was a cheap programme to screen.
Regarding WH fans behaviour, you can polish a turd and it's still a turd, moving from the shithole that is UP to a new shiny stadium doesn't change the turd, the genuine WH fans who support their club and create an atmosphere for both sets of fans to enjoy and feel safe in is what's important and if they know who did throw bottles they should let the police know, if someone threw a bottle at their children or family member they would want justice to the people who did it, football is a sport for families, in today's society just because a coach gets caught in traffic should not mean people get bottles thrown at them by d*unken louts. Justice has finally been done Alfie the Hillsboro families/fans , real and genuine football fans everywhere should do their bit to raise the game not condone dreadful antisocial behaviour, irrespective of what time the opposition team turn up.
This isn't the first time Man U have turned up late for a game.
If any sanctions are given out it should be to the Man U logistics department. " | |||

"I wish it was back to the way it was in the 70s 80s when football was football not a family day out and a non contact sport much respect for the hammers
If you believe the older genration, football was much more "family" prior to that though. My family is from Salford, and my dad reckons he used to wander down to Old Trafford as a young kid, (school age) with his mates. Weren't the 70's and 80s kind of a regrettable blip?
I was never interested much in Football and chose to follow the Rugby League instead, the same kind of people tried to introduce hooliganism there, but it got stamped out pretty quickly.
Why shouldn't sport be accessible to all ages?
Grown men having a full on fight about a game of football has to be the most ridiculous thing ever. people who watch football are from a another world to those who watch rugby,football has always been the working mans sport it's in the blood,we grew up on the estate playing as so did generations who have had it hard and had to graft for a living and it's totally different from the toffs and well to do rugby followers,I'll rather live in the 80s compared to the way the country is now.You will never stop violence hooliganism were a island race we've been brought up to follow the club we've been born into,if your a real football fan you will know and have the passion that's what lacks on the pitch these days so fair play to the fans who stand up "Well said that man...how very true  | |||

There's no prerequisite for offence to be taken to make something racist. Plus racial abuse is a distinct type of crime and therefore has a distinct meaning so people can't just make up the definition of racism as they go. The reason John Jeffrey, Chairman of World Rugby was so pissed off about it was that the incident was sinking rugby down to a "football culture". His words, not mine. | |||

" Eye gouging doesn't exist in football? So why has Spurs player Dembele just been handed a six match ban? it didn't exist in football before dembele... whereas bans in rugby for eye gouging have happened on numerous occasions in the last few years..." No one had been banned in the Premier league prior to Dembele, to say it never existed in football is a very sweeping statement. I've certainly witnessed it it at amature level. Of course there's always biting...... | |||

What utter bollocks different worlds "Total bollocks. I wasn't on about Rugby Union anyway - although I do like it and have been to games, I was talking about Rugby League, simply because thats the sport I grew up with. Let me give you a list of some of those Rugby League towns where people (according to you) "Didn't grow up on estates (or graft)"... Wigan Leeds Hull St Helens Castleford Halifax Salford Warrington Wakefield Huddersfield I could go on, but you get my point. I mention Rugby because its the sport I grew up with, Other posters have mentioned that it doesn't happen in other sports either. | |||

Anyone of the missiles thrown by the Liverpool fans could've broken a window and I'm sure that was the objective. The riot police were not there until after the game. It was just normal bobbies on horses. | |||

As for Heysel, it has never been swept under the carpet, people were prosecuted and they have a memorial at Anfield for the lives that were lost." That is papering over the cracks to say the least. Nobody deserves to die at a football game and the Hillsborough disaster has rightfully flagged up the serious failings and corruption of the S Yorks Police. No doubt the story will go on as the families seek rightful justice from those who directly caused the deaths of their loved ones. Ask the Heysel families if they feel that they have had justice and the answer will be no. The Liverpool olive branch was regarded by those families as too little, too late. A very small number of Liverpool supporters served around 13 months in jail for indirectly causing the deaths of the Juventus supporters despite lots of footage being available of people who were directly involved. 13 months is not a long time for killing someone - even indirectly but no supporter, police officer or anyone from Eufa has ever been held accountable directly. Every year we quite rightly remember the Hillsborough tragedy but we don't remember the Heysel tragedy. That is unfair and quite simply not right. The Heysel families know only too well what happens on Hillsborough day in England on every football pitch but no one remembers their family members who never came home from a football match either. Is it because we feel a collective sense of guilt that we don't recognise it? That we were the cause? I don't know if there are statute limitations on the Continent but those people also deserve their time in Court so that Police and Eufa can also be held to account for holding a game in what was another entirely unsuitable venue. There were also allegations, never investigated that National Front supporters from Millwall and Luton were the main instigators of the violence. The Heysel story is not fully told and we all need to deal with it again, if only out of respect for fellow supporters who never came home from a football game. For those who want more information you can read about it on the Anfield Wrap. | |||

The footage appeared long before the game had even started and illustrated exactly why the kick off had been delayed. My opinion is the West Han and the Met ballsed this up.

The Met and Man U ballsed up. West Ham advised arriving at 4 and was ignored. The met should have cleared the road prior to arrival but were woefully under staffed. West Ham knew the streets would be crowded and advised all party's. | |||

It seems they are now banned from using flares, which is understandable" Probably why it wasn't reported was it was an odd idiot throwing a bottle on an otherwise memorable night and won't get the same attention as hundreds of idiots breaking the windows of the team coach and causing mayhem
Look again, there is more than one bottle thrown.
And it was also a memorable night at Upton Park , Liverpool don't have the copy write on those.
I was there when the coach arrived, it wasn't mayhem, a dozen or so people threw bottles. But Man U lost and West Ham are all of a sudden baddies.
I suspect if Man U had win nobody would have heard anything about this.
The two incidents were identical but only one was reported.
Media bias ? You tell me. "Ah sorry, I didn't realise you were West ham and there...I would never have got into a discussion with it as it can never be unbiased , as shown by your comments. All I will say is, the news coverage wasn't the same as you are suggesting at the West ham match

"People bringing up Hillsborough yet again in a pathetic attempt to associate it with hooligans. Read the verdicts again. The fans behaviour played no part in what happened.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want this to be a liverpo bashing thread or for Hillsboro to be dragged up again. What I am concerned with is that West Ham had the cheek to beat Man U so they have their name dragged through the mud yet Liverpool fans do exactly the same and nothing gets reported. The issue is that the West Ham game was fairly high profile and so much footage appeared on social media. The footage appeared long before the game had even started and illustrated exactly why the kick off had been delayed. My opinion is the West Han and the Met ballsed this up. That road should have been barricaded open from Midday. Whether West Ham didn't want to pay or the Met underestimated the crowd I have no idea but I reckon there will be consequences. The Met and Man U ballsed up. West Ham advised arriving at 4 and was ignored. The met should have cleared the road prior to arrival but were woefully under staffed. West Ham knew the streets would be crowded and advised all party's. " No. Think about it. Manchester United aimed to arrive two hours before the kick off which is absolutely normal. A home team cannot dictate to an away team that must arrive four hours before because the Home team were unwilling or unable to control their own supporters and as a consequence a public highway was illegally blocked. Match preparation is important and no team would arrive at an opposition ground four hours before kick off. | |||

I have seen videos of one or two fans throwing cans at the coach, One or two!
The fares were being held by the fans, Not thrown in the videos I seen,

I was referring to your comment,
"Though Liverpool fans seem to be highlighted time and time again"
2 yes 2 tragedies not time and time again, The first one was at a time when some football fans all over Europe would go just to fight other fans, Members of both sets of fans were fighting and throwing objects at each other, One set charged at the other and vise versa, It could of just as easily been Liverpool fans that had died that day,
"Turkish police did nothing"

Bit of a defeatist comment. As for the "Poor me" comments. Say that to anyone Red or Blue in Liverpool and see where it gets you. Yeah I suppose the families of the 96 were just bleating on about their loved ones who were unlawfully killed then blamed for 27 years. Yeah I bet they say Poor me poor me.

For the rest of your post, if the Heysel families feel they have not had justice they should keep fighting, I know I would if it was my child who went to a football match and didn't come home
you can tell them til you're blue in the face. Some people will believe what suits their vile agenda.
I was just answering as they quoted my post saying no one does anything for Heysel.
I know there are still people who believe what they would rather believe, you me or an inquest delivering their verdicts won't change that and I wasn't trying to. It could also be they have not had a chance to read up about the latest news on it yet rather than an agenda. ( sometimes I like to give the benefit of the doubt )
The Anfield Wrap believes, as I do that the Heysel families have not seen justice. A handful of Liverpool supporters were made scapegoats and testament to that is they only served 13 months.
Throughout this country every ground mourns on Hillsborough day. Why do we not mourn for the Heysel families? Is it because we feel a sense of collective responsibility? That should not be the case because the alleged NF thugs were never identified and Eufa and the Police have never been held to account. The supporters jailed for just 13 months were never held directly responsible but because they were imprisoned we all feel that sense of responsibility. Others were far more culpable and that sense of guilt need borne there.
Why are you looking on Anfield Wrap when you are a Man U supporter?
As has already been pointed out to you if the families of the Heysel tragedy want justice maybe they should fight for it. Why don't you start a campaign? You seem to feel very strongly about it for a Man U fan.

Like any sane football fan the tragedy at Heysel appalled me. Bringing it up time and again like you did on the thread the other week about Hillsborough says far more about your agenda than anything. Again if you are so interested in helping the families why not start a campaign. I'm sure they'd be very grateful to you. Difference between me and you I couldn't care less about Utd and I wouldn't lurk on their websites | |||

"People bringing up Hillsborough yet again in a pathetic attempt to associate it with hooligans. Read the verdicts again. The fans behaviour played no part in what happened. It was caused and covered up by the police who were woefully negligible in their duty to police an event. Heysel is another matter. Let's not forget the ground was not fit for purpose. The fans were to blame and were prosecuted át the time. Not 27+ years later. What happened the other night has nothing to do with Liverpool so why not incite your bias shit elsewhere. I for one am glad West Ham were relegated and that United won't be in the champions league. Two of the vilest sets of fans I've ever had the misfortune of coming across. " Need to get your facts right on who was relegated. The other is subjective but let's face most clubs have vile 'fans' amongst their supporters. | |||

"As is often the case with social media another video has emerged of fans attacking a players bus. This time it is the saintly Man U fans attacking the man city bus. Same thing as the other videos , bottles thrown and windows smashed. One stark difference though, no mention of it on mainstream media. My earlier usumption of a northern media bias is looking even more likely. God forbid any southern team beats a northern giant next season, any excuse will be dragged up and you'll be accused of all sorts. (Except Man U & Liverpool aren't exactly what you call giants anymore) " There was a story in the mail the other day(I didn't read it only seen a picture with the headlines, Liverpool fans seen stealing seats from Anfield after draw against Chelsea, Same paper same day, Souvenir time! West Ham fans pose with seats, Signs and hoardings ripped up from Upton Park, I suppose it's who writes the story, But you could go on all day with media stories that you/I think are against our teams or north south divide | |||

"Slight difference with wet spams ground about to be pulled down any moment now" They are removing all the seats/wooden seats at the main stand as part of the expansion, And they would probably have been thrown in a skip, People have sat in them seats for 10-20 years, I don't see any difference apart from the way it was reported in the media | |||
