Acceptable to make jokes about Hillsborough now?
« on: January 18, 2019, 09:55:18 am »
The Famous Matches thread.

Since when has it been acceptable to make jokes on RAWK about HIllsborough and Heysel?   Comparing those two disasters with the 1988 Cup final?  Seriously????

The post has been up since last night.  Can't believe it's not been dealt with.

Makes me sick to my stomach reading that.

It's been removed now.  Thanks to the Mod who did that.

It's not acceptable but we rely on posters to bring such matters to our attention.

Thanks - that's gone too. Gotta say I'm personally (nothing to do with being a mod) very disappointed in the original. At the very best, being as charitable as I know how, it's in exceptionally poor taste.

Better though that we lock this too, just in case it escalates.

Thanks for the report and also barney thanks for the pointer. Probably best to do "snip" tags next time though :thumbup
