Nothing in that statement I could find fault with.

First news trickling out and it's ugly. Blood taken from bodies to test for alcohol. If none, they checked for criminal records.

Has the best interests of LFC at heart IMO mate
As long as it doesn't conflict with what his employers want him to print, yes.
Yep, of course. End of the day he's a journo
Thanks fellas. I'm a bit wary of times journo's but he does seem to be on LFC's side (so to speak)
David Conn:
The club had no safety certificate - they were putting their own fans at risk
Fair play. EDIT : taken today at the club shop.
I think so to Sean regarding Evans, but he comes across as a dick sometimes which gives a cuntish impression. But thats with transfers and twitter, which I guess most people could lose their cool when hundreds of morons are giving you shite.
Re Hillsborough I think its shines through what a red he is mind.

Being told revelations are monumental. Families have stood up and applauded the panel in cathedral

Yes pretty much that mate
David Cameron to make a statement about the findings in the commons at 12.30pm
Just want it all out in the open and over. Making me feel very odd today.
He is a massive red & had more in common with most views on here then he does with other journos, even other reds.
He also gets good info he doesn't report on if it's too damaging for the club, there's few that would do that.
Oh, & his book is a boss read.
Less enjoyable is his Hillsborough piece, which I've read twice & cry all te way through, it's one of the most moving things I've ever read.
I can only imagine mate. Hope you get some closure after this.
Some of the things reported on twitter regards the findings are confirming everyone's suspicions, other's are truly sickening & I'm struggling to get my head round.
It's obvious why this was so desperately covered up for so long, it was possibly the largest cover up sanctioned at a very high level by all parties.

Cheers Red. I just hope those families who lost people will feel vindicated and be able to find some kind of peace.
My injuries profoundly affected me, and still do on occasion, and my family was torn apart by it all. But compared to the 96 and their families and friends it's nothing.

Evans is a fan. He's an emotional fan, a 'glass half-full' type of emotional fan. Which is fine. Unfortunately, he doesn't control that as well as, say, Barrett does when he's being a journalist, which means he tends to write quite over-excitedly sometimes on LFC matters (e.g. his 'doomed, we're all doomed' pronouncements in the past that turned out to be wildly pessimistic rather than reliably informative). But on a matter such as this his approach works with the right mood.
I bet you do Sean. I kind of guessed who you are from what you posted. You were one of the lucky ones - although lucky is a relative term as I can't even begin to understand how you've dealt with the memories of that day. I hope today will be the beginning of the steps to closure not just for the families, victims and fans who have been so wronged but also people like yourself who went through all kinds that day and the weeks and years following and need to move on. At the end of the day all involved are looking for closure and some relative peace in their lives.

The Hillsborough families have literally applauded the panel for their work.
From the Guardian:
A home office spokesman has said its "massive" what's about to come out.

This.
I could have done without him joining the media hue and cry over the Suarez issue. Barrett at least (and one or two non-Reds, like Olly Kay) did point out the holes in the "prosecution" case. Evans never did.

Well said mate.
Can I just say aswell, not just on this whole topic but generally as a community over the last few days, it's made me proud (once again) to be a red. Some of the sense in this thread is endearing, though in general some of the football posts of late on here would have given most of the sports press a run for it's money. We have some fantastic contributors here.
