"The organisation's thoughts at this time remains with the families of all those who lost their lives in such terrible circumstances, as well as everyone connected with the City of Liverpool.

"For 23 years the families have suffered unbearable pain, and we have profound sympathy for this.

"The FA has cooperated fully with the Panel throughout this process and has released all documentation in line with their request.

"The FA and English football has changed immeasurably, and has learnt many lessons in the last 23 years. Through advancements in safety and investment in facilities English football is now a much safer, more welcoming environment for supporters.”

They're part of the same cover up, they never broke ranks to challenge the 'official' version of events.

Hillsborough, the stadium never had a safety certificate either.

In '81 Spurs complained about crushing (I think at the same end too) in a match verses  Wolves.

Liverpool had a bigger turnout (fanbase) so what did the F.A and all they're matey's do, give Liverpool the smaller end of the ground. Heads should roll there too. Who was the FA bloke at the time, Graham someone? He had a monotonous voice and rather large 80's glasses.

pathetic, heartless "apology" from the FA. just covering their own ar$es.

boris can stick his apology where the sun doesn't shine aswell.

[Thommo's perm]

It will be a modern miracle if the FA come out of this blameless
How the fu'ck are they getting away without any mention of their part in this?
Unbelievable!

[The Raven]

Listening to talk sport really got to me.

The lad saying he was behind the door and was screaming at them not to open it. Stuff like that must live with you forever. Then to read that its your fault and you stole from the dead before ***** on them must have been awful.

I can only hope they feel a little bit better today.

[Boocity]

Litigation should be taken against the FA for selecting a ground without a saftey certificate, an apology by Bernstein is just not good enough

the spurs fans were lucky that day (thankfully), the only thing that saved them was that the lateral fences that divided the terrace into 3 sections werent in place then, because the lower terrace was so big a lot of the force was dissapated sideways, even so there were 38 seriously injured people and the report stated that fatalities were only narrowly avoided.
ironically those lateral fences were added after the spurs/wolves semi in an effort to stop the same thing happening again but they made the situation worse.
graham kelly is the fella you are thinking of, he was a household name in the 80`s, he was never off the telly.

The first step on the road to justice has been taken, although it's taken far to long. Thoughts with the families of the victims, especially the 31 who might have been saved.

41 mate, it was 41 who might have been saved, practically half of them.

[supersub]

I would just like to say I felt a huge weight lifted from my shoulders after yesterdays announcement. As a survivor who had the finger of accussation pointed towards me for 23 years it came as a relief that at long last the rest of the nation are being given an insight into the lies,deceit and corruption that has clowded Hillsborough since April 15th. The Truth has been revealed , now its time for justice for the 96 & their families.

The difficulty now comes, getting criminal convictions against those responsible, after such a long time.

Dukenfield is retired living in Bournemouth, and his Assistant that day Supt Bernard Murray, passed away in 2006.

How have these dispicable people gotten knighthoods, large-scale pensions, compensation packages?. It just sickens me, it really does.

Peter Wright also passed away last year. Two people who can never be charged with their crimes.
