Made me feel a bit shameful when i watched it having believed the SYP spin etc It was jarring watching the CCTV footage. Paul Middup's comments about the Liverpool fans made my blood boil.

modboy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 the documentary recognises that all fans then and now are unpredictable. Some of our fans at Burton were being a real pain in the ass. BUT the actions of the people we trust ie the police, govt, and to some extent SWFC let us down that day through bad decisions and planning.

SiJ Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I watched about half way through that documentary and switched it off. It's an eyeopener; a harrowing eyeopener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshfish Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) If it leads people to it and makes them aware of it I rather think that's a good thing. There's one near me that's the village war memorial and I've never seen so many young people gathering there but also reading whats there as a commemoration. Easy to see it in the negative because it's about 'yoof/football = thugs'. Maybe before people criticise they should think about it a little more. Anyways...it's the 'local' newspaper...they need something to make people buy it. Edited August 23, 2016 by Freshfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookeh Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not sure why it's a lack of respect? Surely this brings the memorial into the kids consciousness where before they might not have cared in the slightest, particularly if they're not football fans themselves.

Guest mkowl Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Yes going back to the point - our village's main Pokestop (I am reliably informed by my 12 year old) is the war memorial. I don't think anyone sees this as disrespectful. They are taught what the war memorial is and indeed as someone says may actually stop and think about what it means Really gets my goat that people have to be "outraged" or "appalled" by everything these days.

Gnarwolf Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Basically every memorial is a pokestop, even Karl Marx's grave is one, I don't see how it's not a good thing, only brings more people to it to pay their respects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whos angry at it? they need to grow up Yeah it's not like you can see charmander taking a dump on top of it! Some people moan about anything these days, and because social media is so accessible to any moron it gets blown out of all proportions... Sounds familiar?

doubleo Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Can't see how its disrespectful if it encourages people to visit the memorial, providing they treat it with respect when they get there. I would have thought the families would have liked their loved ones to be remembered as often as possible and by as many people as possible.

DeeJayOne Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 The most amazing thing about this is that some social justice warrior in Sheffield has got offended on behalf of others and then gone to the trouble of contacting and complaining about it to the Liverpool Echo.

ViolaOwls Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 This is one of the most boring threads I've bothered to open. As for a bbc documentary, well we all know they never broadcast both sides to a story, just what there lefty editors want to hear. i will only listern to my mate that gave evidence.
