Sky News and Hillsborough memorial...

[banned user]

Where is paper hanky? he will be on to blame Thatcher in a minute.

And nee one's blames Jozy yet

 

[Obvious Mag]

It's for legal reasons.

BBC are showing it on a delay to edit anything out

Last thing they'd want is something to prejudice the ongoing inquiry

 

[Doberman]

It's more to do with not impacting on the law proceedings. This is how journalism works ya knaa lauder.

so they're going to have Martinez up in court for prejudicing the case?

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

There is an inquest going on so probably a legal thing.

It is. Bbc played it even safer by cutting away after the 96 names were read out and the minutes silence at 3.06pm, but said the would cover as much of the speeches later as possible, depending on what was said.

 

[Doberman]

Total disrespect by SKY. Left the ceremony to go live to breaking news in the Ukraine. Totally insensitive.

Sky Sports News weren't even covering it when I checked.

Kay Burley is a twat and Roberto should have been allowed his uncensored thoughts - freedom of speech and that !

The BBC are now replaying Martinez' speech.

That lad is a class act

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Anyone who went to games then, especially away and anywhere Maggie turned the polis on miners - step forward South Yorkshire constabulary - knows it could have been fans from our club. Liverpool fans right to keep on kicking against the pricks.
Sky = Rupert Murdoch = The Sun = No f***ing surprise

No it's to cover there own backs, they can't broadcast views which could prejudice the investigation. Even though martinez likely said nothing of the kind, producers/editors have to make these decisions to avoid getting in to deep shit.

I have no idea what was said just remaining balanced and giving the other side of the arguement.

 

[Bilbo]

Why is Martinez involved ?

 

[PISTON]

It would have happened to any set of supporters. It was an accident waiting to happen. We were at a FA cup semi-final a few years later at Hillsborough.

The fences going up was the final link in the chain needed to turn rowdy and uncomfortable situations into a full scale disaster.

 

[West Winger]

Reading the bbc website earlier and they couldn't even write down what Grobelaar was describing he saw when he turned to look at the Leppings Lane end because of the ongoing enquiry.

 

[Ali5A]

Lovely speech

 

[safc4everbp]

Why is Martinez involved ?

He is now a scouser at everton , if he were still at wigan he wouldnt give a fuck

 

[Mackem19]

Fair play, hang the bastards who covered this up.

You can't there all already dead

 

[not spavin]

Absolutely.

But don't think the supporters were blameless either.

They were.

All they did is enter the ground and follow the police's directions. It's all in the report.

 

[Baloo]

BBC were running a delayed broadcast so they could cut anything related to the legal proceedings.

Better to cut it than fuck up the whole campaign.

 

[DufraisFTM]

Did the ceremony start seven minutes late?

Why did everything kick off at 7 minutes past at the weekend? Everything I've seen and heard today was happening at 6 minutes past. Every report I've seen today said the match was abandoned at 6 minutes past. What was the reason for 7 minutes past at the weekend?
