The Heysel disaster, caused by the SAS.

I know social media can be bonkers at the best of times.
But this Liverpool fan and others, seem to believe that the death of fans at the 1985 European Cup final was the work of the British government who used the armed forces?
I had never heard this conspiracy theory before.
Others seem to indicate that fans of other clubs went to Belgium to cause mayhem to make Liverpool look bad?
Does anyone know non Liverpool fans that were there and what was the experience?

I came off Facebook yesterday- for reasons like this

 

[Steveger]

Oh dear

 

[Mview83]

Liverpool fans are scum.

Yeah, these crackpots have always existed, just that you'd see them in the corner of the pub and try not to make eye contact. Now they have a platform to the world.

 

[RAFBob]

The further away from social media you can get, the better.

FF is literally the only thing I am on and that's mainly for Rangers and a laugh

 

[JW1988]

Liverpool fans are scum.

It's really difficult for me because I like Liverpool as a team. Always have, but their fans are tossers and dossers.

 

[Johnny Yen]

Social media in general is full of moon units, it does my head in at times.

It's similar to the Celtic fans who genuinely believe Peter Lawwell and his minions orchestrated a title win for Rangers just to keep things interesting.

Scousers Attacking Supporters?

I recall after the 2008 final, plenty people on here insisting it was fans of other teams who had started and maintained the trouble in Manchester that night. I guess you'll always get that element of deflection in an attempt to protect your own team.

Mind you, no one went as far as to say it was the SAS and Government

Ha, ha.Probably true, not a major user of it, but sometimes you have to share the insanity as a reminder of what it can be like.
We have all heard many bonkers stories about football, but I think this guy is genuinely serious.

It's not worth the hassle, any post by a major outlet, be it about news or football is overrun by trolls, bots or just arseholes. Literally have it to occasionally catch up with folk and nothing more.

 

[Station Bear]

Victim fc,dregs of society,I'm sure they blamed other English teams for causing the bother.

 

[Rangerista]

An absolutely delusional take on events at Heysel.

On a personal note, which many will no doubt share, the awful events of that night which unfolded live on national television 39 years ago, are still as vivid today as they were then.

 

[Gauche.]

Yes, I had heard that before, there is some Liverpool fans maintain Chelsea and Millwall fans were in Belgium that day causing bother.
I have my doubts.

 

[Simply a Bear]

People believe anything, have you heard what is spouted from pulpits every week?

Yes, in Liverpool, the SAS assassinated Jesus.

 

[Wilso54]

I try not to lump everyone in with any screwball I see, but it seems everyone from Liverpool believes they are the centre of the universe and everyone loves them.

 

[si72]

Moonhowling arsehole.

 

[GovanFrontLoyal]

The world was a simpler place when the village idiot resided in their village. Now they can all come together online and turn what should be one of the most important technologies of our time into a cesspit of stupidity and hate.

 

[Loud and proud]

They remind me so much of another, less hygienic fan base, it’s almost scary.

 

[Trafalgar]

Its strange that this episode when discussed is met with disgust and disdain from Scousers and they try to airbrush it from history.
The SAS being the instigators of this tragedy is a new one right enough.

 

[SIRBLUE]

Turning this on it's head slightly.
When we played Shelbourne at Prenton Park (Tranmere Rovers), there was mayhem outside the ground as many will remember.
Although those causing it were bedecked in Rangers colours they sounded like the cast of 'Brookside.' I was caught in the middle of the r soles.
I don't remember the SAS being present though.

If ever a club deserved the title the celtic of england,it's them.

I remember being in a chippy after the final in Fallowfield in the South of the city and there was a good 30-40 all in Rangers gear, mostly Mancs. It was a day out for so many.

Not saying Rangers fans weren't involved in trouble either!

 

[ARFC]

You've just got to hope they don't actually believe that nonsense. SAS mission to make Liverpool fans seem worse than they already are. Deluded is putting it mildly.

 

[Mreblue]

Pathetic.

Rght enough, I don't think they needed help from anyone else to demonstrate that they're a pain.

 

[Porto Loyal]

14 people from the Uk were convicted of manslaughter post-Heysel - I don't recall any of them being non-Liverpool supporters.

(Scottish Football note - One of those accused but acquitted went on to be a professional player and was Warnock's assistant manager at Aberdeen)

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

"Scouse not English!"

 

[bluebargain]

There best away result ever was 3-0 in Gibraltar..

 

[Jack Burton]

The similarities in mentality between Liverpool and the scum fans is quite remarkable.

Two cheeks of the same arse.

The SBS were crossing the Mersey at the time.

 

[Papasmurf]

At times I think there should be some sort of censorship on these platforms.

At other times I think there shouldn’t be. Purely so we can identify and deal with the utter morons that walk near us.

 

[Tom Forsyth's stud]

Not as if the SAS had anything else to be dealing with in the 80's!

You can trace a lot of their ancestors back to the same place.

 

[Sticky Fingers]

The English filth. Simple as that.

There’s plenty of truth in what you’re saying about Manchester though.

I was there and can recall Millwall fans present and causing trouble.

Clearly our own were just as culpable but it’s a stretch to compare it to the ultimate fantasy of blaming the SAS

 

[Orange Peel]

The English filth. Simple as that.

My Manager is a Spurs fan and was in the home end at Anfield once and told me all the pish he put up with and listened to. No difference to the tinks.

Liverpool and Celtic are one and the same when it comes to conspiracies, blame and victimisation.

 

[Tin man]

Liverpool fans are scum.

They were that night , basically attacked the family section , it was dads with kids they chased and running away caused the wall to collapse . English fans were then banned , fences were up . So in 1989 cops thought they were at it again and disaster happened

 

[Ardoyne RSC]

No doubt it was the same SAS unit that infiltrated the Vatican (twice) to eliminate the Pope.

I was minding my own business in the pub at the carpark and the cops chased us out into the chaos. I'm getting on a bit now but I'm sure there was a cop on a horse in the pub. Or maybe I just had one too many.

 

[The Golden God]

One click on his profile sums him up. A victim.

 

[SW Bear]

Ian looks like the most scouse man alive

 

[Aragorn]

Liverpool fans are scum.

I doubt if it’s more than a handful that would believe the SAS nonsense.

 

[siegeheroes13]

When you look at his bio - Catholic Liverpool-Irish. Docker's son from Bootle, it just screams victim.

No there was indeed a horse in the car park at least.
Not sure old Dobbin made it into the lounge bar

Sadly for those of us who were at that game, we're all getting on a bit.
