This was posted at 15.06 April 15th.

and you posted this in the Hillsborough thread in february

I know this will bring back many bad memories for those of us who remember that day, but I think it's worth doing, just so those fans who weren't watching the scenes of that day can actually realise what it was like and why it's so important to Liverpool fans.

My recollection of the day is very vivid and the memories will never leave me, not even with a "sorry" from that paper, because sorry doesn't wash away the words and images I saw.

I woke up, as excited as the rest of the Liverpool fans because it was semi final day of the FA Cup 1989. Liverpool v Nottingham Forest, at Hillsbrough, Sheffield. Grandstand just finished and the build up was beginning properly.

The family starting to arrive at the house. Me and my four brothers. The old man in his chair and uncles and cousins surrounding us. All gearing up for what was supposed to be a great FA Cup semi final.

Even before the kick-off we could see trouble was happening, fans rushing to get in before the whistle went, others just being pushed closer and closer to the iron fence.

Then disaster struck and it hit the whole footballing world, not just Liverpool. It hit everyone, people saw fans dying on the same pitch as their idols were playing. Members of my family were turning away, they couldn't watch. The rest of us glued to the telly, watching hell unfold in front of us.

Bodies falling onto the pitch and upon each other. Lying there motionless because their lives had been taken away from them at the very place their lives surrounded round, a football match. As everyone watched it every single fan felt it inside. Everyone knew this was a horror show.

3.06 and the ref called the game off. But the pictures remained. People continued to struggle causing more and more problems. We all saw the pictures, and they'll live with us forever as will the memories of those gone and those who lost friends or family on that day.

I'll never forget and I know no other true fan of this club or football in general will forget either.

RIP

Guess your memory is not as long or as true as you make it out to be.

You should be f'ucking ashamed of yourself.

what's your point? does it have to be the 15th of april for me to remember the 96? does it have to be the 15th of april for me to cry and shudder at the thought of 1989? does it have to be the 15th of april for me to say how hurt i was? because it was the 15th of april does it mean i can't talk about anything else? because it is the 15th of april does it mean my life has to stop to remember?

not a :censored:

day goes by without me remembering that fateful day of 1989. do you know why? becuase i lost 96 innocent friends. that's :censored:

why. so don't tell me i ought to be ashamed because i decided to remember them a few months. each and every :censored:

day i remember. just because i don't :censored:

say it at the end of every post, or just because i don't bellow it from the rooftops doesn't mean i feel or hurt any less. so shut the :censored:

up you gormless :censored:

because am i :censored:

ashamed. i remember, i held a minute silence at 3.06 pm today like i do every year and i can do what the :censored:

i want. just because it's the anniversary? does that mean i can only tell me missus i love her on our anniversary? does it :censored:

so

off. you're the :censored:

embarrassment. if you honestly believe that my life should stop and revolve around remembering 96 people because of one day then you're a :censored:

. in fact you're a :censored:

anyway. i remember them every single day of my life. my heart is filled with sympathy for those who lost family members. and just because i don't decide to say anything on here on the subject on a particular day my loyalty is questioned. well that's plain and :censored:

stupid. i don't like reading the hillsborough threads at the best of times because it brings back the memories, never mind the anniversary of the day. i can't forget what i saw, and i can't help how i feel. if talking about busses on this day offends you well you need to someone urgently. if i'd wrote "anyone remember being squashed against an iron fence" you might have a point. since i haven't shut the :censored:

up and don't dare question my loyalty or rememberance again.
