Liverpool Tragedy

If I could have gone to Liverpool I would have, just  to celebrate with genuine fans. 

A  friend of mine living in Pembrokeshire is from Liverpool,  and a supporter  like myself.Her brother, his son( both of whom I know well) were going in to the city to witness  the parade., and the children were with them.

I cannot imagine  what families affected are going through right now, abd its too early  to speculate how such a thing could have happened. 

I am sure I speak for everyone on the forum,  hoping, praying we get good news, but obviously some are seriously  injured.

When unimaginable horrors like this happen, it puts many other things in perspective. 

Sport however can show itself in the best light , when ecounterd with such terrible things. There is a brotherhood out there that will come together , with words and acts of comfort  which hopefully  can help, if even in a small way.

To those  affected,  to the families, our thoughts are with you.

Just pray that everyone survives and manages to escape without life changing injuries too

As to the incident well weve all seen it..Absolutely horrific shocking beyond words

I was watching the parade live on youtube and firstly I noticed it sort of ended quite abruptly

In previous bus parades the team got off by the Liver buildings and shanks made speeches

But it looks like the bus just drove straight on this time...Though it wasnt that clear amidst the mellee, the crowds and red smoke etc

It then seemed as though the crowds started dispersing pretty quickly and inside the central roads ppl started walking on the roads and I think pavements barriers were down

Then you had the ambulance emergency pulling down barriers to enter water street and this allegedly drugged driver tail gated him to get access to the road too...One report said he was going the wrong way down a 1 way road. ppl got more and more agitated as they saw ths guy driving through packed streets and at 1 stage he almost reversed over ppl ...he kept travelling ...in all over 700 yards I believe....some ppl tried to stop the car 1 smashed in his rear window but he accelerated away and things got dramatically worse

How drugged or drunk or how irresponsible, evil or frankly insane a person would be to do what he did is beyond comprehension.....

The most criticial thing of all is at the moment at least the news says the remaining injured people are stable

No doubt when the smoke clears massive lessons will be learnt in making security in these situations more water tight. Though its not easy to cover every single eventuality and some crazed individual doing something so disgusting

Totally agree with the sentiments expressed by Pimp, Aber & Roy. Can't say I would have used the word that Aber used to describe the perpetrator but that comes from having a daughter who works in that sector so pardon my PC attitude.
