| I am a United fan but your comment is a disgrace. Burnham was always going to get that reaction--justice still hasnt been done and if you had bothered to read about the whole scenario you would know---instead of towing the usual line of the Liverpool fans are to blame.

I think the whole problem was because he mentioned the government.

He was there today, I've no idea if he was there 20 years ago.
The boo-ing was for the message he read from Gordon Brown.

| Is this the John Motson " Them cheeky lovable Scouse rouges will do any thing to get in and watch their team "
Athens 2007
2000 ticketless Scousers stormed the gates when the ticket readers went down and genuine ticket holders were refused entry
Not really a dig at LFC but people go to the match and expect to be safe

| He was the unfortunate messenger sent by the Prime Minister and as soon as he said he had a message from the PM then thats when the shouting started and eventually a large majority chanting "Justice for the 96". It would have happened no matter what MP had been there. He is an Everton fan himself and spoke well after the first few lines had been interrupted about the fans of both teams sharing the grief which got loud applause.
All the fans want is for someone to hold their hand up and say "we are to blame". The police refuse to do this despite the Taylor Report finding them culpable. No enquiry--no justice.

Good for him then, as an Everton fan he put his team aside for a while and respected the 92 who died.
My brother was there that day, he survived that. I've no more to say really, ecxept at the end of the day it really is 'only a game' Life is way more important.

It is only a game but if you're passionate about something then it never really feels like that does it.
As a life long Liverpool supporter watching the service on TV when I got home from work was heart wrenching. I wish I'd been able to take the day off and pay my respects the right way.

| No wonder they are angry .Had anyone lost a close one in such a tragedy and noone been brought to book for the mistakes that day they would be seething with resentement.
The government were foolish to send a minister that reaction was inevitable.
Whatever ithey are gone and it was 20 years ago. Thank god that things are safer these days.

No, it never feels like that, I'm not a Liverpool supporter, but I put a rose on the memorial for my brother.

Can't be bothered pulling your post apart bit by bit, but it's hugely inaccurate and, in places, simply untrue.
As for booing Burnham, perhaps the 'fans' should thought about why his was there (to offer condolences and pay respects) and think about their own actions - booing at a memorial service, for any reason, is wholly unacceptable.
It is particularly inappropriate that they booed Burnham when he is an MP who has been actively seeking to have all documents relating to the tragegy brought into the public arena.

| Sadly, I think the jeering incident will overshadow not only the reason for the heckling, but also the whole purpose of the memorial service.
Maybe it was daft to send a Government minister under the circumstances, but questions would have been asked had there not been a representative of Government present.
The main thing is that lessons have been learned from that horrible day and may they never happen again.
RIP, the 96.

No it wont and they have a memorial service every year it's just because it was 20 years that so much emphasis has been put on this one.
It's good that Burnham was there but probably best if he hadn't spoken on an occasion like that to be honest.

| Just a small point wasnt there a tory government at the time and for 8plus years after?? Mr Burnham is from a labour govt??? wasnt the anger vented wrongly??
I agree it was a terrible day and today should have been respected booing at a memorial service is not good and Andy looked very shaken by it....sad really when the rest of the service was very emotional
And i`m a utd fan
RIP 96

Reading Teletext and online, "minister jeered" seems to be a common headline rather than "30,000 pay their respects".

| The police where too blame, that's why so many of them 'retired' after the incident.
Lack of communication, 2 paddocks where left locked and should have been opened before the surge happened, if these had been opened there wouldn't have been a disaster like there was.

| If it had happened 2 months earlier than it did, I quite possibly wouldn't have been here to type this as I was stood in that very same middle pen and was being pushed and crushed against the barriers.
No one should go to a sporting event and come home in a wooden box.
