He just misspoke. It seems like he meant to say "Hillsborough and also, incidents of hooliganism" but he said 'and other' instead. I accept that he had no intention of linking the two he just said the wrong word. It happens.A fuss over nothing?
After the cover up from the establishment and Thatcher, when the fans were blamed for forcing the gates , those lies and many more were pedalled in the media for many many years.
It's still believed by some, the "murderers" chants along with " the sun was right, murderers", "always the victims" etc are routinely sang every week, these chants all stemmed from that disaster based on those same lies.
South Yorkshire Police/West Midlands Police forcing officers to change statements of events to coincide with the establishments lies.
116 of 164 police statements were 'amended to remove or alter comments unfavourable to South Yorkshire police'
Thousands of innocent fans were blamed for that tragic day, and those have had to fight to clear their name. For some, its taken its toll.
Duckenfield who actually admitted to openeing the gates many years after at the Hillsborough inquest admitted this.
So yeah he may have "just misspoke" but with his experience and vast football knowledge he should know better.
Do i think he meant it? No, i dont but it cannot be expected to go unchallenged neither.
There's no excuse for Ignorance on these types of matters.
