At Inter Milans game tonight

Great gesture that.

[Eeyore]

In the build up to Sundays match what mustn't be forgotten is that in 89 the reason we played Forest was because they went to Old Trafford in the previous round and beat United. United dominated that game but lost 1-0 against the run of play. United were a home FA Cup tie away from being in that Hillsborough Semi Final.

Rangers had the 66/96 banner on pitch before the cup game vs Queen of the South, and a minutes since was held in honour of the 96.

I know this has been mentioned before and some of our fans may not like this, but would be good to see a Hillsborough banner alongside one for Munich, that would forever show our class to the world!

Desi Kopite this is a wonderful gesture you suggest but forgive me if I disagree. It's not about United. We all know the players and officials at both ends of the East Lancs get on very well and it wouldn't surprise me if LFC (who in my opinion have handled Hillsborough with incredible dignity) offered such a gesture but I sincerely hope with all of my heart that it would be very politely declined. Liverpool FC shouldn't have to 'give ground' to appease the United fans there on Sunday. There are deep wounds ingrained in the fabric of both clubs and I've watched this and experienced it festering over the last 38 years as a match-going United fan, but this is about Hillsborough not Munich.

The report is a massive victory for your fans (and lets be honest, decent people everywhere) and you as a club should be allowed to express relief at complete vindication (and what I hope is the start of closure for many) without having to acknowledge the loss suffered by a rival club.

I've just watched the 'Hillsborough Remembered' programme from the 20th anniversary on Sky Anytime. Watching Trevor Hicks describing losing his daughters and having to make that horrendous choice between Vicky and Sarah reduced me and my wife to floods of tears. We have young kids and the thought of life without them just has me in bits.

I want you to know that I'm not being sycophantic when I acknowledge that it's safe to take my son to Old Trafford now because of Hillsborough. He gets to see the game, he isn't under threat and his life isn't in any danger. That has been made possible by the fans of Liverpool Football Club and is a wonderful and poignant legacy that my son will never be allowed to forget, either by his Mum or me. Your sacrifice was huge. Your suffering ongoing, but your legacy will last forever. It's beyond me how any United fan with kids could ever doubt that...

[Chriswm34]

Just so you all know - there are penty of like-minded United fans in support of the JFT96 campaign.

At Inter Milans game tonight

Total class from inter fans

[Harinder]

Nice touch by Swansea with applause and shout outs for truth and justice for the 96 just now pre kick off against Everton

[FlashingBlade]

At Inter Milans game tonight

Lets not forget AC Milan fans , who broke off in their Europen Cup semi final ( against Real?) a few days after Hillsborough  to sing YNWA...and 23 years on it still stands out as an act of class.

[Pheeny]

Any other clubs given their respect?

loads, thankfully most see this as a victory not just for the families, survivors and Liverpool but for all football fans in general.

[alonsoisared]

I was at Bristol Rovers vs Fleetwood yesterday and the very final song that came on as the players came out of the tunnel was You'll Never Walk Alone...thought it was a very unexpected but nice little gesture, particularly from a club who are out of the limelight completely and didn't "have" to do anything.

[tommy LFC]

Napoli and Inter fans too.

[Jay797]

Napoli and Inter fans too.

Aye mate - they lost 21 fans back in 1981 - Gate 7 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaiskakis_Stadium_disaster

In 2007 when we went to Athens for the Final they were really great with us - genuine understanding and empathy with them. There's probably a few threads on here about it from that time. Good lads.

Yes that's right.

Looking at some of those banners, it makes me so proud. Very touching to see.

[kasperoff]

There was also an exchange of tributes when we played against them (Olympiakos) in a CL group game.

[Alf]

Cracking gesture that from Olympiakos. 96 + 21 gone but never forgotten.

[RedinExile]

Napoli and Inter fans too.

Naples is a fantastic place, what an awesome gesture mate!

[Kovai Red]

That is awesome. Fantastic to see such gestures

[mactifosi]

Great to see solidarity from other fans.

[firing squad]

[mrsphilthefish]

Just watching the Leeds v Everton cup game and they were singing Justice for the 96........nice

[redend]

watching the Leeds Everton game, not sure which group of fans it was, but on 80 mins singing "Justice for the 96"   Which ever group of fans it was, well in, very nice touch.

[skibaboo]

Heard that too, fair play to them.
