Royalclapper Not sure it's lack of sympathy tbh (not in my case). Think it's more about having your own opinion rather than being told what to think.
No amount of IndependentLOL reports will ever convince me that some of the LFC fans were not to blame for that day, as too were the shambolic OB and the football authorities so I won't be joining in any 'pity party'. There'll be people who still go to bed at night knowing what they did and are hardly going to admit it now. It was a tragedy of course but that's it for me, and there were too many of those before something got done thankfully.
But yeah, the team have been great so far this season and a surprise for many.
Do you have children?
I think the fact that so many of those that died were young has caused a bigger impact than if they had been a load of oldies.
Fortunately my children are now grown-ups (sort of) but the thought of them not coming home whether it be after a football match, a night out or even not coming home form school ever again in my mind is a dreadful prospect.
I have always thought that having your own child die before you is the worst thing that could happen in life-for that reason alone I would have continuing sympathy for them as in the case of a mate of mine whose son choked to death when playing on the beach or for the parents of sons that have died in military action.
Why do people like you get so uptight about the whole thing when in your lives it is merely an item on the news for a short period?
Nobody is asking you to go to Liverpool or Sheffield and join in any type of remembrance.
Maybe you are just such shallow people that you resent the news coverage and feel that the time might be better spent hearing about the latest tattoos that Beckham or Cheryl Cole have had on their backsides or if Simon Cowell knows how a young baby should be fed or have it's nappy changed.
