Because its liverpool and the media are stuck up their arse

It is even worth questioning why there is not such a ceremony when it comes down to Heysel where Pool fans crashed the italian "non-ultra" stands in Heysel and killed lots of people.

Hillsborough is outstanding because it was not down to hooligans that so many got killed there. It was clearly the police fault. It was a terrible desaster for football, but not the only catastrophe worth a memory.

Similar thing happen in South Africa a few years ago at Ellis Park (One of the venues for the 2010 world cup) 20 people died and nobody gives shit, so I guess tragedies and things like this happen. At least they are giving the time of day to honour the 96. I think the biggest tradgedy is that lessons obviously were not learned from this incident.

In fact, yesterday, I decided to try to honour the 96 by getting all 96 exits in Super Mario World.

The other thing about Hillsboro was that it was football and a working class sport with working class fans.

If 96 were killed at 'Rugger', the ballet or opera 100% guaranteed heads would have rolled. There would have been prosecutions, massive court cases, huge compensation payouts and lengthy jail sentences. Middle class dahlings getting squashed is just not on....
