QuoteA lot of people on here are too young to remember the horror of Hillsborough and then in it's aftermath the Sun's sickening lies.
I would say fair play to Paul Cook for taking a principled stand on this.

Remember watching the match on tv as RTE had it live. Liverpool were just after hiting the crossbar, this travelled to the outside putting more pressure on the packed pens from those trying to get in.
Liverpool played Forest in the previous cup semi final at Hillsborough (1988) and there was complaints afterwards from fans of overcrowding and crushing at the Leppings Lane end. Liverpool wanted the Kop end at Hillsborough for the '89 semi final but were refused by the police. The police excuse travel arrangements suited the Forest supporters for that end. The Kop end housed about 20,000 terraced at the time with more turnstiles and space to cope with the demand.
Even though this decision by Cook will have an adverse affect on the club i still support him, some principles are worth keeping.
