bill shankly once said "football isnt about life or death, its far more important than that"
As Liverpool supporter it saddens me to say he was in fact wrong.....
Remember the disasters in Heysel, Hillsborough, Ibrox and Munich, and realise that there is more to life than the game we all love, follow and cherish.
Justice for the 96. YNWA.

YNWA

Truly horrific disasters.
But even in a tragic stuation it is incomprehensible how some so-called football fans turn into evil beings. At Bradford Park Avenue, while people losing their lives in an inferno, there were hooligans jumping upand down infront of the cameras in macabre jubilation.
Unbelievable and unforgiveable.

A very sobering clip, sir.prize - I watched it remembering the day I was watching a fire in the brewery where I worked in the early 1980s. Most people just don't realise that it's the choking smoke which kills - not the flames.

I'll spare a thought for all those families that have lost love ones due to football disasters, it shouldn't be that way.
