Football fans were considered an underclass and not worthy of the normal duty of care the wider public experienced. For instance we would be packed onto trains without seats to away games despite paying normal prices. I've loads of stories from first hand of being hit by truncheons, pushed violently by police officers whilst simply walking to a ground. It was a different experience entirely to now.

Point 7 of inquest states fans were in no way to blame.

Anyone who'd been to Hillsborough in the eighties knew what had happened. Some ( most) police forces treat all football supporters as criminals and animals.

Leazes, I think there was a planned earlier match, according to Talk sport.

Obvious, but Sunderland's and Norwich's games are as important as our own now on. Arsenal winning comfortably to nil would be ideal tomorrow.

Just typing similar, really sad.

I'm also expecting makems to win tomorrow to nullify our recent improvement and hope.

My Mom, polar opposite to what we've witnessed for last few years.

One of the three is going to pull an unexpected win from somewhere. We've our two opportunities for it to be us this week.

Can see this being 1-1 and the final nail in the relegation coffin.

I was visiting people in there home's, pubs weren't open.

Had to spend some time in Roker then West Boldon this morning, definitely an air of big match anticipation and possible win amongst them.

Can we not just get some flowers for his missus ? That'll swing it.

For what it's worth physioroom has Janmaat and Mbabu fit on Saturday.

Sad news, RIP

I reckon Perez might give it another year too. Based on hope.

It really is a true reflection of quite a large percentage of wearside.

Protesting against there owner's. Apparently going to walk out on 74 mins too.

Done.

Well if the minimum, according to judge, is four years he'll serve half with good behaviour. So I'd say he's going to spend two years in the big house.

Thing is, if you're local then the likelihood is you've got a birth given hatred of sunlind. The feeling towards an ex manager pales into insignificance. Unless, of course, your youth was tarnished through lbab,kab,bab,wdwb or even the sham army.

Well said reefatoon.

Phew, hold on palace

Nothing to do with superfan status, my loathing of safc cannot be matched by one individual.

Anyone with any connection to Newcastle should not want Sunderland to win this.
