Cretins interrupted the minutes silence.

Story from the Telegraph....

Yesterday’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley between Chelsea and Tottenham was played on the 23rd anniversary of the semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, at which 96 fans lost their lives. The crowd at Wembley were asked to observe a “moment’s silence” before yesterday’s match but this had to be cut short after an outbreak of noise from a section of fans in the Chelsea section of the ground.

“We are extremely disappointed that a minority, or just a few, decided to speak or sing during the minute's silence and not respect it,” said Di Matteo.

Chelsea accused those involved of "embarrassing" the club.

A statement on their official website read: "Chelsea Football Club is extremely disappointed that a very small minority of fans embarrassed the club today by not honouring the moment's silence before kick-off. Chelsea FC believes all moments of respect should be honoured."
 
:lol: - They still don't get the dippernomics on our debt do they. A couple of floundering attempts at putting it out there, 'They owe well over 500m', 'Shouldn't it be closer to us considering the debt they owe?..'

Also I still don't get 'Pass and Move' foot ball. Is this a legitimate style? Or just a playschool breakdown of what Football actually is? Surely not?

Maybe Kenny Dalglish's new style wants to see Liverpool move away from this;

To actually being threatening on the field... :lol:

Maybe those were the Chelsea fans who were responsible for Heysel? It was Chelsea they blamed, wasn't it ?
 
(Kenny Dalglish) was a far better player, and yes, a far better manager (Then Sir Alex Ferguson) number of PL titles or not.

Surely that tops the lot?
 
I thought I was used to this. I thought I'd finally become desensatised towards the absolute deluded muck these strange people spew forth. I was wrong. I have been shocked once again. They have found an even deeper level in the cesspit of insanity.

I'm not even joking, or trying to be over dramatic, but I think whoever posted that should be arrested.
 
I couldn't believe it when I read it, he didn't even get shouted down
 
@RAWK_Meltdown: It's simply embarrassing that a team (Man Utd) that is so distictly average can probably, probably go on to win the league again.

It just gets better and better

What do you call 36 points behind distinctly average?

A step back to get momentum and charge forward. Losses can be wins, those 36 points are just a demonstration of intent, a heavy investment in 2011-12 dropped points to attain glory in 2012-13


or 2013-14


or 2014-15


feck it, glory some day will do.

You've got to give LFC fans credit where it's due. City fans try their hardest with endless OTT nonsense to get us to bump the Bluemoon Goes Into Meltdown thread and make them feel like a relevant club, but they're still so smalltime that it never seems worth it unless it's because their manager and/or players are doing the cracking up for them.

Even with its team down in midtable, RAWK never loses its appeal for all things delusional and hilarious.

Maybe the chelsea louts sang through the minutes silence because a medium told them that ghosts of their dead relatives were communicating through them and told them to sing?
 
I was under the impression the "murderers" song particularly was sung because of the blame game over Heysel. Not that it excuses it in the slightest.

A lot of Liverpool fans said ( according to th liverpool echo in 85 ) that it couldn't have been their fans who were responsible as they weren't wearing LFC colours and Chelsea fans were known for their thuggery, therefore it was Chelsea wot did it

Just read up on it, apparently there were a lot of southern accents too, and that can't have been Liverpool fans.

:wenger:
 
Not just their fans. Their Chairman at the time issued a statement saying it was "NF Supporters, probably from London"

Liverpool FC and their statements ey. D'oh, whadda they like?!
 
Actually, this reminds me of something...

For all Liverpool's insistence that football should remember the disaster at Hillsborough, do they actually to anything annually about Heysel?

That's a very good point, they seem to want to airbrush it out of their history. They can't get away from the fact that some of their own fans inflicted a Hillsborough-type disaster on another club. I often feel the Heysel victims are neglected by many Liverpool fans in relation to their own lost fans at Hillsborough. They have a memorial plaque I know, but they never really seem to mention it, whereas they always talk about Hillsborough.
 
To be fair to Liverpool, they did try and make a big show of it when they played Juve. With their trusty banners and flags and what not. Though obviously it wasn't any kind of mea culpa, it was more a plea for friendship, which you can see how Juve fans might take patronisingly (which they did) Their banner at the Del Alpi showed what their Ultras thought.

Nasty of course. But it is a bit of a thorn in Liverpool's side. They quite rightly bang on and on about getting truth and justice and apologies for the 96. And every football fan supports them in that. But when it came to giving Juve some, they basically shirked it, and tried to play it off as "can't be just all move on and be friends?"

We shouldn't get into a Heysel discussion, it's not the place for it. This is a light hearted thread for a start. But it's very Liverpool. Or the stereotype of LFC we like to play up. Hypocrisy, victim complex, belligerent statements. It's all there.

I think the Juve fans probably thought it was a case of too little too late. I mean it had happened 20 years ago and many at Liverpool had taken that long to admit their own part in it, that's a long time. The Juve fans saw Liverpool's heartache over Hillsborough and were probably thinking 'the same happened to us and you didn't take responsibility'... then they had to wait all this time for some recognition.

That's their point of view, and I can understand it, but personally I think the Liverpool fans did do some very nice gestures on that match in 2005, and I think turning your back on something like that was a very poor show from those Juve fans, it just creates a hostile environment when it should be about remembrance.
 
I agree I think they handled it very tastefully. But from the Juve POV, the one thing they were looking for was an apology, or an admission, and it's the one thing they didn't get. If Liverpool were (in some bizarre universe) playing the South Yorkshire Police, or even The Sun, it's what they'd want, nay demand! They wouldn't be happy with a can't we make up now? Though tbf, I imagine those fans would've done that regardless. It seemed like they'd planned to anyway. I also think some Juve fans appreciated it.
 
I'm not for one moment saying that they shouldn't get justice for Hillsborough, I totally support them on that, but Juventus also need truth and justice and apologies for Heysel. Lets not forget the latter.

But you're right... not the right thread for this kind of chat.
 
I was more thinking of 'regular' recognition of Heysel than the one-off of that meeting tbh.

LFC seem to almost 'demand' black armbands and a silence by all of English football on the anniversary. I don't recall any examples of LFC players wearing armbands and asking for a minute's silence as regular commemoration of Heysel.

But - perhaps a diff thread could contain these remarks?

If a mod wants to edit it's fine by me.
