Michael Shields

Coming from something mentioned on another thread that I thought was more suited to this forum. What do people think of the Michael Shields thing? Guilty or Innocent. Personally I think he did it. The cause celebre that he has become for Liverpool supporters is and the emotive unfactual documentary about his case has mistakingly lead a lot of people to believe that he is innocent.

Just reading throught some of the background. I'm undecided at the minute, but want to read more on it. Question on Sankey, as there is a contradiction on wikipedia page, was Sankey in the line up or not?
Does Sankey look similar to Shields in anyway?

Not sure. Apparatly though when the campaign started, Liverpool FC were rowing in behind it. Since the alibi and Sankey's story have become less reliable the club has distanced itself considerably from the whole thing.

I was living in Kensington, Liverpool when all this happened.

'FREE MICHEAL SHIELDS' painted up everywhere you could see, twas like being in the north mid-90's.

I got talking to a few people in the local bar, apparently he was no angel, but violence wasnt this kids thing.

Then again you never can tell

Fcuk knows.

It's all personal opinion and personal speculation.

Nasty attack by the Liverpool fans anyway. Why couldn't they just be happy with winning the world's biggest club trophy....?

On one hand you give your own opinion then declare that the people who believe he is innocent are mistaken.
