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.

    • This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
