What a pity that it has taken 25 years to get at the truth.

Ok what next scourging followed by HDQ?

[mikey4444]

HDQ...come on TTT....give me a chance here !
..what the ruddy hell is HDQ ?

[SirOracle]

I think he means Hung Drawn & Quartered.......... but maybe not...who knows.

[mikey4444]

Oh...makes sense I suppose SirO.

[SirOracle]

Don't know why TTT keeps doing this sort of thing here Mikey.

Maybe it is commonplace in conversations at the bar in Conservative Clubs. !!

[mikey4444]

It was sweaties last time....Scots in other words !

[youngmafbog]

Modern talk popularized by the Americans so it is racist to criticize it

Sweaties is rhyming slang originating from Londoners who I believe TTT has informed us he is one.

So again, criticizing a minority group is Racism again I believe.

YMB...very droll !

TTT - // Ok what next scourging followed by HDQ? //

I'll settle for due legal process - I expect most people will.

And no more threads on drunk Scousers without tickets?

[youngmafbog]

Sorry, couldn't resist Mickey :-)

Great, so after 25 years and however many inquiries they've finally got someone to say it was all their fault.
Now we've got someone to blame, perhaps we can all move on.

[askyourgran]

Someone had to stand up and take the blame in the end, he made mistakes and his inexperience in crowd control couldn't have been tested at a worst scene. I don't think he was directly the cause, he was trying to ease the huge crush of fans who were intent on gaining entry into the ground come what may, I think it would have happened somewhere else if he hadn't done that.

Ludwig - // Now we've got someone to blame, perhaps we can all move on. //

I think it is less about blame, more about responsibility - there is a big difference.

[naomi24]

//he made mistakes //

That about sums it up.

[mikey4444]

His mistakes are one thing Naomi....but his lying for 25 years is quite another. A thoroughly despicable man.

[Sipowicz]

Duckenfield admits that for 25 years he was "in denial", sadly, there are some on this site who still are!

[susanxx]

scapegoat comes to mind! Didn't Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald and he himself was dead within 12 months, think about it. But why does Liverpool have to go on for so long about Hillsborough, does Celtic/Rangers still go on about the death toll in 1971 or the Bradford Stadium fire were people were running around on the pitch on fire shown live on tv?

// Ok what next scourging followed by HDQ?// 3T
