Regardless of anything else, this is what it boils down to. Ludicrous that a car could somehow end up in the middle of such a crowd.
Regarding possible motivation etc, I just think we should wait. I don’t understand what would motivate someone to start speculating about how the action of the pedestrian fans may have led to this incident occurring.
Just let the dust settle and then apportion blame where necessary.
Yes, I was going to mention that the timing likely impacted people’s response to Trion and I understand that.
Personally I don’t have a problem as I think a lot of information can be lost if not noted quickly (early info can also be wrong) but I also understand that in the immediate aftermath most people just want to grieve or show support and see anything else as insensitive.
I’m sure there’s also decades old debates that impact people’s opinions that I don’t have to worry about.
Yeah it’s just typical with some posters on this forum who live in their self-righteous bubble and can’t process any take which doesn’t conform to their line of thinking.
It would be fine if they could argue back in a productive manner to counter but they have minimal intellect to pull off a clean conversation and often rely on shutting posters down by sarcasm, calling names or by using racist/islamophobe labels. I does share some burden of blame that I give them too much importance to go on posting making myself look worse.
To think they are also moderators just makes it all the more worse. I wish they could just sit in a corner and refrain from posting since they are clearly incapable to deliberate properly.
Here’s my first two responses to you.
Entirely reasonable. You didn’t need to keep going and posting random tweets no more than i needed to respond to them.
Don’t post stuff if you don’t wnat it challenged. You’re not new here, you knew exactly how what you said was likely to be received.
We didn’t sign up to stop having opinions when we became mods.
I look forward to you posting some more whining in response to this.
Wait who ever said something “racist/islamophobic”? Am I missing something?
Merseyside Police has finished its latest news conference now.
Here are the key updates from the news conference:
A 53-year-old man remains in police custody;
He was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs;
Officers believe the suspect drove to the scene by following an ambulance, which was responding to a heart attack;
That’s how they think road blocks were bypassed, with no prior intelligence of any incident like this;
11 people remain in hospital and are in a stable condition.
The driver was a junkie who followed an ambulance and ended up in the crowd.
Both of us had our say. Closing it at my end as I don’t wish to make it about me anymore than I already have.
I’d already done the same my end without saying so publicly but i didn’t see why i should let that dig about mods slide so fine.
Until the next time.
For what it’s worth, my post was meant to be a bit tongue in cheek, perhaps I should have added an emoji (but sometimes adding an emoji feels a bit lame and kills the vibe). I do think your posts were a bit in bad taste coming right in the aftermath before anyone knew anything, but I don’t really think what you did is actually something that could be directly equated to how The Sun behaved the day after Hillsbrough.
But having said that, I fully believe you were being intentionally provocative, as you so often are. You love getting a reaction so I’m not going to feel bad about the fact that you got one.
Klopp is such a class act, whereas Arne Slot is a petty person who threw Trent under the bus the other day by saying his efforts were lacking
Klopp is a sour bitch when he wants to be.
Kit Geek Alert: That top really doesn’t look right, the sponsor is all raised and odd. AI?
Well, can’t argue with the evidence. Maybe he’s come to the UK so he can see more of Arsenal.
Hearing the package for Wirtz is circa €150m… crazy money.
Wow. Ridiculous fee
Good player, but surely that massively hurts their ability to go for other players this window?
They’re in a very healthy financial position and will be selling multiple players
Don’t think it stops them
Assuming this is their bet on the next star player post-Salah. When that time comes.
