I have been reading the comments made since my post and since I was the one who posted it and bearing in mind that it actually kick started a new thread regarding the paper in question I felt the right to reply, so here goes.


I am fully aware of how the newspaper in question is regarded. Do I feel ashamed because I heard a story on the T.V and then found and posted the story on here ? No.

I do not buy or read the paper in question and haven't since THAT day, it was a story that I thought some might find interesting as it was about Raffa.

I thought it was topical but since no one but Sabre actually commented on the story itself and would much prefer to call for my head for posting it then I was obviously wrong and for that I apologize.

I didn't recommend people go out and buy the paper, and just because they lied in the past does not make every story they print since lies.

And as not to fan the flames of this anymore than they have been already thats all I have to say about it.

Don't worrie some people on here like to go way over the top about things we are all sad about that day but taking things to the extreme is not right way to go.

Its all swings and round abouts on here some posters have jokes about people with cancer then next min saying RIP to drummer who died from it.

thats disgraceful.

Can one of the Mods lock this thread now ? ,the response Ive quoted should be reason enough ,it highlights in the extreme the ignorance that is still yet to rear its ugly head  .Passions run high on such issues as Hillsborough ,and this thread will seriously run close to a new low 

what don't you like about what I said ? maybe there is some truth in it ?

surely not.

Or maybe ?

End of day I really think you need just to leave others b and let them debate what they want to it is a debate center this its what a forum is for.

In Liverpool that paper was vetoed indefinitely ,it deserves no reprieve or any utterance of its reviled name on Scouse lips ,we all know someone who perished that fateful day ,in the cold stare of ignorance and ineptitude  ,and the authorities  abject denial  to accept the blame ,so it is why I can say most emphatically that odious rag will never be forgiven by the people of Liverpool .
Hillsborough and the incompetence it was surrounded in murdered  our people ,the S*n  crucified them for fun

also mate what sums up the feelings for me was in steven gerrard's autobiography when he said he tells the foreign lads who don't understand. they have head of the hillsborough disaster, but don't know the full story. he fills them in etc. sg explains that there was a lot of anger over what got written after hillsborough,which is why the worst offender, the s*n newspaper,will never be seen at melwood,anfield or in his house.

every Liverpool fan is completely against the s*n (or should be)(RH) i'm a Liverpool supporter so i respect their views,& i also lost a member of my family at hillsborough. i won't touch the paper. the foreign players are very respectful.

speaks volumes for me, i will always dispise everything & everyone connected to the s*n end of.

also beleive it or not i very rarely buy a newspaper cause after hillsborough iv'e no faith in any rag, if i do buy a paper it is only useally on a sunday, prob the independant if thats ok.

look mate i understand that there are so called LFC fans out there that controdict themselves over the issue you raise, & i totally agree with you but please dont think i'm a survivor without knowledge.

please mate let's agree that the message needs to be broadcast everyday DON'T BUY THE S*N!
