Is it just me or has Liverpool fans blown this way out of fucking proportion? he basically made a comparison about the disaster, didn't mock any of the people that died during it and now he's getting childish threats from people who werent even fucking born in 1989, some of which include (and I'm not making this up)
"I hope you get cancer so your kids can't enjoy christmas anymore"
"I would love to watch your wife get raped"
"I'm going to piss on your mothers grave"

Going way over the top this now, its pathetic the backlash he's getting off aggressive cunts.
Bit more about it for those who have missed it
Short end of it: 96 fans died (basically being crushed) and a further 760 or so injured during a Liverpool game in 1989 and out of "Respect" Liverpool don't play on the 15th of April.
and Alan Davies said the following
"He said: "Liverpool and the 15th - that gets on my tits that shit. What are you talking about, 'We won't play on the day?' Why can't they?
"My mum died on 22 August, I don't stay in all day on 22 August. It's a significant day in my life, but if Arsenal are playing at home I'm about it.
"Do they play on the date of the Heysel Stadium disaster? How many dates do they not play on?
"Do Man United play on the date of Munich? Do Rangers play on the date when all their fans died in that disaster whatever year that was - 1971?"
"Every interview [Liverpool manager Kenny Daliglish] gives he looks like he wants to head-butt the interviewer. This tight-mouthed, furious-frowning, leaning-forward, bitter Glaswegian ranting 'We won't play on that date'. Oh thanks very much, well done.
"So you absolutely refuse to play on that date, which means Chelsea have got to play at 6pm before a Champions League game.
"I understand - Hillsborough is the most awful thing that's happened in my life in terms of football. It's one of the worst tragedies in English peacetime history but it's ridiculous this, 'We refuse to play football on this day anymore'."
In short he made a comparison, in bad taste maybe but in no way did he insult any of those people that died.
And for those don't know about the things he's talking about (like Heysel) etc I shalt post below what happend on said dates.
Heysel Stadium Disaster
The Heysel Stadium Disaster occurred on 29 May 1985 when escaping fans were pressed against a wall in the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium before the start of the 1985 European Cup Final between Liverpool of England and Juventus of Italy. 39 Juventus fans died and 600 were injured.
Approximately one hour before the Liverpool-Juventus final was due to kick off, a large group of Liverpool fans breached a fence separating them from a "neutral area" which contained rival Juventus fans. The Juventus fans ran back on the terraces and away from the threat into a concrete retaining wall. Fans already seated near the wall were crushed; eventually the wall collapsed. Many people climbed over to safety, but many others died or were badly injured. The game was played despite the disaster in order to prevent further violence.[1]
The tragedy resulted in all English football clubs being placed under an indefinite ban by UEFA from all European competitions (lifted in 1990–91), with Liverpool being excluded for an additional year and fourteen Liverpool fans found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and each sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. The disaster was later described as "the darkest hour in the history of the UEFA competitions".[2]
Munich Air Disaster
The Munich air disaster occurred on 6 February 1958, when British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on its third attempt to take off from a slush-covered runway at Munich-Riem Airport in Munich, West Germany. On board the plane was the Manchester United football team, nicknamed the "Busby Babes", along with a number of supporters and journalists.[1] Twenty of the 44 people on board the aircraft died in the crash. The injured, some of whom had been knocked unconscious, were taken to the Rechts der Isar Hospital in Munich where three more died, resulting in a total of 23 fatalities with 21 survivors.
Ibrox Stadium Disaster
The second major incident occurred on Saturday, 2 January 1971, when 66 people were killed in a crush, as supporters tried to leave the stadium. The match was an Old Firm game and was attended by over 80,000 fans. In the last regulation minute, Celtic took a 1–0 lead and some Rangers supporters started to leave the stadium. However, in the final moments of the match, Colin Stein scored an equaliser for Rangers.[3]
As thousands of spectators were leaving the ground by stairway 13, it appears that someone, possibly a child being carried on his father's shoulders, fell, causing a massive chain-reaction pile-up of people.[4]
The tragic loss included many children – five of them schoolmates from the town of Markinch in Fife. Most of the deaths were caused by compressive asphyxia, with bodies being stacked up to six feet deep in the area. Over 200 other fans were injured. Initially there was speculation that some fans left the ground slightly early when Celtic scored, but then turned back when they heard the crowd cheering when Stein scored the equaliser, colliding with fans leaving the ground when the match ended.[5] The official inquiry into the disaster indicated that there was no truth in this hypothesis, however, as all the spectators were heading in the same direction at the time of the collapse.[5] In his autobiography, Sir Alex Ferguson wrote that his brother, Martin, had attended the game against his parents' wishes and – since he returned home late – he was initially feared, by his family, to have been caught up in the disaster.
