I am a United fan but your comment is a disgrace. Burnham was always going to get that reaction--justice still hasnt been done and if you had bothered to read about the whole scenario you would know---instead of towing the usual line of the Liverpool fans are to blame.

Whats the problem with Andy Burnham then? not being a football fan I didn't pay too much attention to the follow up to the disaster itself.

I think the whole problem was because he mentioned the government.

He was there today, I've no idea if he was there 20 years ago.
The boo-ing was for the message he read from Gordon Brown.

Is this the John Motson " Them cheeky lovable Scouse rouges will do any thing to get in and watch their team "

Athens 2007

2000 ticketless Scousers stormed the gates when the ticket readers went down and genuine ticket holders were refused entry

Not really a dig at LFC but people go to the match and expect to be safe

He was the unfortunate messenger sent by the Prime Minister and as soon as he said he had a message from the PM then thats when the shouting started and eventually a large majority chanting "Justice for the 96". It would have happened no matter what MP had been there. He is an Everton fan himself and spoke well after the first few lines had been interrupted about the fans of both teams sharing the grief which got loud applause.

All the fans want is for someone to hold their hand up and say "we are to blame". The police refuse to do this despite the Taylor Report finding them culpable. No enquiry--no justice.

Lucy , As AB is an Everton fan he said he was at the other semi between Everton and Aston Villa ( I think ) so not his fault

Good for him then, as an Everton fan he put his team aside for a while and respected the 92 who died.
My brother was there that day, he survived that. I've no more to say really, ecxept at the end of the day it really is 'only a game' Life is way more important.
