"Highest points finish for 2nd place"

Today marks the anniversary of Heysel yet there’s not been one mention of it in the media as far as I can see. Never forget what those utter scum did.

In 1970 on this day there was an earthquake that killed 70'000 people. The media didn't mention it today. Because we move on.

Why is him laying a floral tribute disgusting?
I'm not saying that was disgusting but the lack of publicity over the incident is. Liverpool never ever mention it but it cost this country 5 years of European football. I'll never forget that night...it's a stain on their character they prefer to ignore and forget.

Their Facebook page yes...but why not some more public display like an internet message to Juventus offering their sympathies on the anniversary of such a sad day for football....like the world does for theirs ?
If they have I'll be the first to apologise but I haven't seen anything....anybody else read anything ???

Does the world do it for theirs? Or just english media? I'm sure the italian media probably mentioned it.

Oh I'm sure they did....we shall agree to differ....but something had this country banned for 5 years and it certainly wasn't Italian fans.

Well you asked why liverpool don't acknowledge heysel. On the 30th anniversary they did as did all the british media.
The article I linked explains why Heysel is 'brushed under the carpet' and forgotten...by Liverpool and UEFA. It was an embarrassment for them both.

Amazing silence.

Interesting article....
Mark Lawrenson is a rarity among Liverpoolplayers in that he is even prepared to talk about Heysel. For 30 years it has been the one subject never broached at reunions of the club's class of 1985, the very name threatening to engender a chill shudder of dread. "It was the elephant in the room," Lawrenson says. "It wasn’t so much a macho thing, it was just never spoken of. Even in smaller groups, no one mentioned it."
It remains football's great taboo, a tragedy where the reminders elicit a sense of universal shame. In Liverpool on Friday, a service at Anfield upon the 30th anniversary of the disaster will pass with but a fraction of the observance or publicity that attends the annual remembrance of Hillsborough.
