Thatcher's government had decided after Heysel that football fans were all mindless hooligans and needed to be totally controlled and criminalised at every opportunity even if it meant killing the game as a spectator sport. They tried to introduce compulsory ID cards that had to be shown by every spectator at every game and backed up some clubs banning all away supporters. They most likely saw this as another opportunity to pin the blame on fans, deflect it from themselves and introduce more draconian rules. They would have happily seen the game wither and die to get rid of the "problem" - of course there was no money in it then.

TyChan posted:It started among Man-U fans as a retaliation for the Munich chants some Liverpool fans were fond of and it's meant to refer to Hillsborough and Heysel. You can stretch it to cover the Evra/Suarez incident, but that chant has been around for a very long time and those are the origins for it. That particular song only started last year after the Suarez thing, there are other songs, but that one is new.

Scott Bakula posted:This excuse doesn't really work when its a match against Wigan I'm not trying to excuse it, there's no doubt that Hillsborough is part of the meaning or "reasoning" behind the words and choice of singing it. But it wasn't sung before last year.

Any anti-Liverpool song our lot sing on Sunday, even if it has nothing to do with Hillsborough, will be treated by the press, by the scousers and even our own loving club as though the entire away end lined up to piss on the eternal flame. Short of linking arms and joining in with YNWA, United fans will get made out to be the villains on Sunday.

The aeroplane gesturerers were actually Chelsea so LFC win the moral victory again.

In the 70s there was a spate of pitch invasions with the express purpose of getting the match abandoned if things weren't going well for the team in question - United had a fair few incidents. The fences starting going up around that time.
