β€˜It is our suffering’: the fight to end Hillsborough abuse and tragedy chanting On the 34th anniversary of the disaster, bereaved family members and survivors speak about harm perpetrated against them online and in the stands and why enough is enough

Yes it is. Just because you want vindication for your behavior doesn't make it true.

Wow. It didn't take long to go from "I'm annoyed that a man I've never met doesn't want to play for the football team I like anymore" to Hillsborough slurs, did it?

When Bury went under, everyone agreed this must never happen again.

Six years on, and less than a week after the Football Regulator Bill was signed into law, and it's about to happen again.

I'd like to see transfer stories promoted as if they were LinkedIn posts.

We’re two days away from the biggest moment of our lives as a band. We release our second album. The second evolved in an amazing way during difficulty and tragic times.

Thank you to everyone that has shared, liked, commented, seen, purchased! πŸ™

Diogo Jota’s Legacy: Frozen in Time, Forever Young The Tragedy That Stilled Liverpool's Summer. RIP Diogo and Andre.

Substack piece for Anfield Index on Diogo Jota, loss, empathy and the privilege of growing old www.itwasalwaysliverpool.com/p/diogo-jota...

Since I first learned the heartbreaking news of Diogo Jota's tragic death yesterday I've been emotionally bereft. However, this gorgeous slice of summer love from @sensesforever.bsky.social has gone some way to putting a smile back on my face and some joy in my heart. Can't wait to hear the album.

Beautifully poignant piece by @tonyevans92a.bsky.social , who once again manages to find the words that sum up how so many of us are feeling after yesterday's devastating news. Look after each other.

Obviously I never met Diogo Jota. But you sing somebody's name week in, week out in the stands, you watch them do what they do, and you develop a relationship of a kind. At least with what they stand for there.

Diogo has given us so many moments of joy. It's so so tragic.

His poor family.

Devastating news about Diogo Jota. Heartbroken for his young family. Speechless.

I'm a day or so late with this as I have already seen some, but just a note FAO members of the right wing commentariat preparing their excoriating pieces on the "mass gathering of the woke liberal elite": nobody - literally nobody - gives a shit what you think about Glastonbury.

It's Denis Villeneuve, so expect a 4 hour epic bloated with sweeping shots of barren landscapes and featuring a quiet, brooding lead with a mysterious past.
So, more of the same basically.

What the ECHO understands about Liverpool plans as Quansah closes in on exit Liverpool transfer plans include move for young centre-back as Marc Guehi considered

Liverpool, as champions, selling their fourth choice centre back but are relaxed about bringing in a replacement because they feel they have adequate cover if the right targets aren't available? What could possibly go wrong? πŸ€”
