I would not read the Mirror, the Sun or any of the the Redtops.
But I urge all football fans and those who do not even follow the game to read this:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/hillsborough-documents-released-brian-reade-1318730
On the day that the families of the 96 finally see the documents that were hidden for so many years for all the wrong reasons, this article is one of the best, most clearly written of any I have ever read concerning that day.
Rangers fans too, obviously, know of what it is like to have fans taken whilst at a game. And Celtic fans know what it is for such an event to transcend sporting divisions and unite a city.
Really puts the petty differences we all go on about into the correct light.
Normally...

I read that article this morning. Powerful stuff.
He's right when he says there were two tragedies. The cover up and spin was disgusting.

all those affected by this tragedy deserve the truth as a bare minimum.
hopefully with these documents coming into the public domain apologies may be forthcoming
RIP the 96

Good post Davie.

That bit about the guy whose two daughters died is so awful but drives home what a tragedy it was. I honestly felt myself welling up when he talks about what the psychiatrists said to him.
In some ways the cover up is even worse though. It only compounds the tragedy.
I'd recommend reading the link to all on here, essential reading
