Our thoughts on this significant and poignant day, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough and we pause in memory of the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.

Feel like I’m the only person who knows what happened here. There was a whistle. Sounded like the ref so a few Liverpool fans in the Kenny shouted “come on Reds”. Then it quickly became apparent by the reaction of the other stands it wasn’t the ref. Fuck knows who it was though

Scared, he ran toward his school, hid behind his nurse who pled with the Israelis "He is Autistic! Check his ID!" They fired toward Eyad and missed, he ran behind a garbage bin - an Israeli shot him in the legs, then walked up to him and put two bullets in Eyad's chest. 2020 murder, acquitted July 6th, 2023

This isn't the nicest tweet to have to write but a necessary one..... The Hillsborough Memorial at Anfield is a special place of remembrance for the 97. It's a place where many of us find comfort and a chance to be still. It's place that many bereaved families now bring our children and grandchildren to educate them and, for children like my own, it is 1 of the very few places that they have to feel close to their grandad. This week, I took 1 of my sons to see the memorialat his request, and whilst reading tributes, he spotted a little glass Hennessy bottle filled with ashes.....he thought it was in some way connected to his Grandad. I then had to explain that the bottle was an alcoholic drink, the ashes were not connected to us, and that many fans and loved ones want to be left at the ground when they pass away..... The point of this tweet is to respectfully ask that people do not leave ashes on the memorial. The memorial is for the 97, and whilst we completely understand and have empathy for those who pass away and their loved 1s, it is somewhat uncomfortable to see it becoming a shrine for ashes. Yesterday, there were over 20 little trinkets full of ashes and yet there are signs asking people not to leave them there. I appreciate that bereaved loved ones will only be honouring the family member lost whose wishes were likely to be that they would like to be left at the ground, but please - not on the memorial. It's not really a conversation any of us should need to explain to our children and grandchildren, and there have been incidents where it has been distressing for some of the family members of the 97. It's also not nice for the club staff who have to remove them. Again, I'm saying this with the utmost empathy, understanding and respect, but the look of horror on my sons face when he thought the Hennessy bottle was in some way connected to our family has driven me to need to address the issue. Thanks so much for understanding. Floral tributes are more than welcome ❤️ #Anfield #HillsboroughMemorial #LFC

It was not just Trump who revealed himself yesterday. The total silence from @Keir_Starmer and his apology for a cabinet in the face of Trump's genocidal threat to Iran, even as they took immediate concrete action to ban Kanye West/Ye, reveals deep and profoundly troubling double standards. As we saw repeatedly with Gaza, the mass slaughter of Muslims really doesn't bother to our government; now even the threat of complete civilisational erasure is not worth a passing comment. Starmer just shrugged and let the B-52s take off with all their bombs primed and ready to drop on civilian targets. A total and irredeemable disgrace.

You come to the reluctant and sad conclusion that even a threat to wipe out a civilisation by an unhinged US President is still not enough to elicit any serious push back from the Prime Minister or his Cabinet. What have we become? theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

I think we have to be careful here. Most men rarely have to handle the grief of losing a best mate in their 20s. Alot of what he is talking about can be attributed to how people deal with grief. The players have been telling us all season, and I feel we simply nod and get on with our day. But they have to live with the realities. This is not about tactics or performances, etc., but more about how they have reacted after the tragedy. There's no right or wrong way, but it's incredibly hard to police. Maybe some of them just want to get out whenever they can, as the memories are too raw. It's such a unique situation, and one I'm sure will be studied and discussed for years to come.
