Yes. What's funny about that?
He means that it's blates you who thinks that.
Turns out he doesn't.
Oh well, what the strawberry float. I'll leave the Liverpool fans to feel sorry for themselves.
For the past 20 years they have. Heysel seems to be forgotten for some reason as well.
What the strawberry float are you talking about? It's not been forgotten at all.
There was alot of stuff about it in 2005 (when it was 20 years).
Yes there probably was a service about it too.
There's a message every year on the LFC site about it too, and IIRC LFC Officials go over there every year.

Because that's a tragedy that
was caused by liverpool fans.
Weren't they both.
We've discussed this already, The Official report which looked at
all the evidence decided that it was mostly the Police's fault. The Police force
themselves admitted it was their fault. And yet there's still people on here saying it was 100% the fans' fault. You couldn't make it up (actually this is GRCade so you probably could).
Heysel was a terrible incident, and LFC fans had a huge part to play in that, no denying. They served a 6 year European ban for it too (that's a year longer than the other English clubs).
There were alot of other mitigating circumstances that contributed as well however, such as the stadium being gooseberry fool. On visiting the stadium the LFC secretary said "There's no way the European Cup final should be held here."
The LFC officials also told UEFA that the neutral section (where the wall collapsed) was a stupid idea as it would always end up mixed fans, UEFA went ahead and did it anyway. So the fans mixed. Trouble happened, which wasn't exactly unexpected.
The ignorance shown by some members on this forum is frankly staggering. It's not exactly difficult to look it up on the internet is it.
Here look, I've even been kind enough to create some links for you:
