“Hillsborough and other hooligan related issues”.
It's very clever, really. Stick a comma in so that it says, “Hillsborough and other, hooligan related issues”, and it loses much of its sting. Most people will read the quote rather than hearing it, so some will wonder what the fuss is about.
The man's a fucking match commentator. He should
know how to speak. At the very least it betrays a careless, snide mindset that just lumps disasters in together. At worst it shows outright ignorance and entrenched beliefs.
I bet he wouldn't have said “The Bradford Fire and other hooligan related issues”.
