Nicely done +Martin...

R.I.P '96...

You'll Never Walk Alone.

CeNo.

thought I would add this...

The tragedy of Hillsborough is quite beyond belief

For the fans who never returned home we know

"They'll Never Walk Alone."

CHORUS.

The famous Reds of Liverpool

Have an anthem of their own

And through the tragedy we all know

"They'll Never Walk Alone."

VERSE 2.

You opened the gates to heaven Lord

When the "96" were on their way

There is a place called memory lane

Where the fans will always remain

Though I never knew you

I think of you all just the same

I'll put my red and white checked scarf

Around my neck, and take one deep breath

"You'll Never Walk Alone" again.

CHORUS.

The famous Reds of Liverpool

Have an anthem of their own

And through the tragedy we all know

"They'll Never Walk Alone"

VERSE 3.

You all went to the match that day full of hope

And you plunged down that terrible slope

You all cried out in fear and God did hear

Now you are all part of Shankly's team

Playing football and singing

"You'll Never Walk Alone".

This poem is dedicated to the 96 L.F.C fans who lost their

Lives at Hillsborough on cup semi-final day L.F.C v N.F.F.C 1989.

Poem by Dean Broad

It's a lesson in human stupidty, with people forcing their way through the turnstiles because they arrived late for the match - this was compounded by the police opening the gates to relieve crushing (a reasonable, if foolish, decision on its own) and a decision to not delay the match. The fence at the front of the seating that so many were crushed against was placed there to stop hooligans - sadly the minority spoil it for the majority, though football has more than its fair share of thugs.

It is sad that most of the people that died were innocent.

The thing is...they were not late for the game at all. Even at 2.30pm there were still more than 10,000 supporters queuing to get in. Not just for the leppings Lane terraces, but also for the West Stand seating above Leppings Lane.

Poor policing, poor access, and poor policing prevented them from getting into the ground in time for kick - off. Also, the problem had been highlighted the year before; in exactly the same fixture Liverpool supporters were given Leppings Lane end - with the authorities knowing full well that they had by far the greater number of supporters, yet they were given the smaller end.

At the end of the day, i believe it was a multitude of errors that led to this tragedy...a tragedy that could and should have been avoided.

And still to this day, justice has not been done.

RIP '96

Of course but you can't just blame the police... the thousands of people pushing are equally to blame. At the end of the day it's a football game - it's not worth pushing and shoving and putting people's lives at risk just to get in a few minutes early. It could have been avoided if the police had taken better action but it could also have been avoided if humans weren't so stupid and selfish.

its not really the day for debating the issue. I can only suggest that you study http://www.contrast.org/hillsborough/history/index.htm quite closely.

YNWA.

*Reverent Nod*

From a blue to a red.

This is the day when all football fans unite...

:)

I agree, the Hillsborough disaster has been analysed by experts and yet people think they know more than anyone on the situation. For the facts everyone questioning if it was the fans fault should visit the site that spa2k suggested.

A superb moment of silence was observed in today's game. Was good to see that the whole world of football can come together to pay respect to the 1989 tragedy, which has changed many lives, it was also the point when football safety was questioned and changed to avoid further losses of life.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
