Yeh it has finished, it started at 7 and was on for an hour. It was a reay good listen. Harrowing, of course, but the sort ofthing that needs to be in the public domain. That was hard to listen to for me, I can't imagine what it was like for others. My thoughts are well and truely with you all.

RIP YNWA x

i've always felt arsenal are a club of class - even see tony adams book where he has the good grace to point out the class of LFC when we lost the league in 1989.

the truth is most football fans (even manure fans) are good football people (hence the shame the fans that sing about munich shoud feel)

everton are also part of the story as everybody in the city knows.

bbc did a good programme on football focus but I feel a bit sick that they still have the sun editor working for them.

I appreciated the actress that used to be in brookside and later (the comedy with  ricky tomlinson in it) who said she never felt the same rivalry towards everton again. just a sporting one.

my heart goes out to all affected.

[LegBarnes]

Its very sad indeed to think it could have been any of us if things worked out a little different.

I am happy every one is being nice about it must be good for the familys who have lost someone to know that people care.

It makes you proud of our club way we pull together and support each other.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has spoken exclusively to LFC TV about his admiration for the 'magnificent' Liverpool fans who fought to save lives at Hillsborough and claimed those who attempted to blame them for the disaster had been proven wrong.
Speaking ahead of Wednesday's anniversary of Britain's worst ever sporting disaster, the Prime Minister, a Raith Rovers supporter, was determined to let the city of Liverpool know that 20 years on, the country remains right behind the families who lost loved ones at the FA Cup semi-final in 1989, insisting:

# The behaviour of fans was magnificent

# Those who blamed fans were wrong

# We can never forget the 96 people who died

# Families deserve Freedom of the City

In obvious reference to one particular newspaper's disgraceful and now infamous front page attack on Liverpool supporters just four days after the disaster, Brown made a point of twice chastising those who tried to blame the very people who were doing most to save lives on the day.

"People will never forget that day; it's etched on our memories," Mr Brown told LFC TV, in an exclusive interview to be screened for the first time at 9pm tonight during a special edition of 'This is Anfield'. "I remember just hearing half hour by half hour the news as it came across from the Hillsborough stadium. It was then that I started to realise what a major disaster that this was. I also remember how the Liverpool fans helped each other, coming to the aid of people who were in difficulty and trying to rescue fellow fans - both young and old. I don't think we can ever forget the 96 people who died.

"I think that the families, in trying to cope with this disaster, have had the support of all decent minded people across the country. I think that's probably what matters most: that people understood that the behaviour of Liverpool fans in helping each other was, as I think the judge said, 'Magnificent'; that it was wrong for people to blame, as some did, Liverpool fans on that day and it's right that the Freedom of the City has been given to the families of Liverpool fans on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of this disaster."

When questioned on what he thought the legacy of the disaster was, Mr Brown again reiterated his point about how the actions of Liverpool supporters on the day were not just heroic but totally at odds with how they were portrayed in certain sections of the media following the disaster.

"I think people have learned first of all not to rush to instant judgements and some of the people who did rush to instant judgements have been proven wrong and that's why the Liverpool people are so respected throughout the country," he said. "The work that they did to help each other on that day and subsequent events when people had to help each other through the difficult times is something that will never be forgotten."

When quizzed in the interview to be shown later tonight on whether he thought there was a still a legal route open to the families in their continued search for justice or whether even an apology would go some way to help ease the pain and suffering of those who lost loved ones that day, the Prime Minister refused to be drawn, preferring instead to repeat his praise for the fans and the families who've acted in such a dignified way over the past 20 years.

"I feel that the best thing that we can do," claimed Mr Brown, "is say that the memories of these fans who died will always be in our minds, that the country understands the difficulties that people have gone through and that there is huge public support and affection for the families that have had to suffer so much. Let's never forget the fans that cruelly lost their lives on a day when we know the people of Liverpool were trying, if they were in that ground, to help each other and that's the spirit of Liverpool."

You can watch the full interview with Gordon Brown on LFC TV's 'This is Anfield' show at 9pm - Sky Channel 434, Virgin Media Channel 544 and online on www.liverpoolfc.tv.
