Re: Hillsborough BBC 2 9pm
Watched this last night, the courage and dignity of the families was unbelievable with all the lies and accusations thrown against them. History was made.

Re: Hillsborough BBC 2 9pm
Lou, Its hard to imagine what hell those family's went through for 27 years, Its a life time for some. You have to admire the tenacity and determination shown by the family's justice campaign, It was one of those occasions on Merseyside where everyone can remember where they were on the day, At 6 minutes past 3pm i was wallpapering my way out of a tight corner in my sitting room, But with my younger brother being in the leppings lane my old man came over to my place he was absolutely shaking and i was phoning the emergency number for hours no chance of getting threw my brother eventually rang home about 6.30 pm that night as we where getting ready to drive to Yorkshire, He was kept in hospital overnight when we picked him up on the Sunday, We told him the news about his good friend Gary Church, The lad cried with his head in his hands all the way home. All we got out of him was the police messed up dad it wasn't or fault. The rest is history. Many people have to explain there actions now. I just hope a few press members get a mention in dispatches. Regards Terry.

Re: Hillsborough BBC 2 9pm
Could not agree more with you Terry. I just hope now the cover up has been exposed and the liars named and shamed that we will also see justice for the miners. The were also victims of the South Yorkshire police, the press, the courts, and the Tory government.

Yes Jim Phil Scraton, Was a real gem along with a lot more unsung heroes, You must remember all the same people as i do from that era, Harold Kinsella, His son Terry, Steve Milburn, My sister Maureen had the Doric i think it was that year, I am sure you can also remember how somber it was that night all over Merseyside, I met a few lads i drank with in the old Seaforth Social club i had to get my old man out the house, But what i remember most that night was the steward of the time who i think was Joe Jones, And Brenda Everet who was of course mother of the first big brother series Craig Phillips, Paid the artist before he went on stage and sent him home. The quietest Saturday night i can remember in Livepool Terry.
