No, you just started a 'lets start a riot thread' before knowing the full facts.
Like I said, go over on TLW and read everything for yourself.

What do you mean "before knowing the full facts"?
I started the thread at 10.46pm last night. The "apology" was posted on TLW at 1.31am today. Anyway why should I read TLW do decide how I should feel about this scumbag. He made a decision to go into a sports shop and order a shirt with a disgusting logo. He also made a decision to display that on facebook to show what a big man he is. Any apologies should be direct to the families of the Hillsborough dead, not a mealy mouthed damage limitation one on football forums.
I have no doubt that the "apology" from Sports Direct is a directive from their sales executives.

Why are you lying? You've clearly checked yourself so did you think I wouldn't follow it up? It was clearly posted yesterday at 01:31 AM. I know because I read it yesterday afternoon. That's what I meant about "before knowing the full facts".
But carry on your crusade, keep on labelling all their fanbase "scum", disregard facts, and instil further animosity between the two sets of supporters. I'd rather be more grown up about the issue, and accept that there are stupid, ignorant, cunt fans on both sides who get kicks from grabbing attention. God knows what United fans made of that SoS meeting, where those involved where older but equally juvenile, and something for which there's been no apology for.
An apology direct to the families would of course be appropriate, but you've chosen to completely dilute and disregard all of their subsequent actions - something which is extremely unfair.

I agree completely. The stupid kid is only 16. The worker at the shop was probably half asleep doing an incredibly boring job.
It appears like it's been dealt with as best as it could have been, given it's simply the act of an individual minor.
I think the SoS thing was far worse, given that it involved an organization, and a weak organizational response after the fact. There are clearly idiots on both sides, I would imagine some of the response that they have received has included some equally idiotic things, for instance death threats (though not serious) and the like.
