      Some perspective
      Apr 12, 2010 01:27:05 pm
      Strange weekend.

      I went away Friday buzzing from Thursday nights result. By the time I got home yesterday we had

      Dropped 2 crucial points at home
      Torres needs to see a specialist
      Yanks look like there going
      Yanks look like they are staying
      4th place looks gone

      Yes we should be down about all but the fact the yanks could be selling up. Any Liverpool fan should be down/p**sed off when we dont get a result. But comapred to what the families and friends of 96 people will go through for the 21st year on Thursday we dont really have much to be down about do we. So walk on

      Good post Brian, perspective is being used quite a lot recently on the forum, and rightly so. Being from a working class family myself, the son of a miner and enduring the strike etc., perspective plays an important part in my life. My old man always told me that there are many important things in life, but no one aspect is more important than life itself. My thoughts go out to the families and friends of those who lost loved ones on that fateful day, thoughts that are ever present in my mind, every single day.

      Yes, we are enduring hard times as Liverpool fans, and a lot of us get impatient and irate, none more so than myself. Football is an important part of my life, but not as important as my family. This doesn't mean i love football any less than the next fan, just that 'perspective' will ultimately prioritise your values as a human being.

      It's going to be a hard few months, hopefully we will get rid of the Yanks, building might start on the new stadium and we might get substantial funds for Rafa to finish building what he started. Life is a great leveller, our time will come again, we just have to be patient and let the forces of nature take their course.

      Above all we need to have patience, and have belief that the golden sky is just around the corner.

                                   IN RAFA WE TRUST - YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE - JUSTICE FOR THE 96[/b]

      Got to say like, this is a quality post. Just goes to show that what we complain about is peanuts to what the survivors and families of lost ones have to go through on a daily basis. But we shall fight on, because With Hope In You're Heart, You'll Never Walk Alone. That my friends, is what will bring justice to the 96, one day it shall.

      The problems at the club pale into insignificance during this sad time.  All our thoughts are with the 96, their families and loved ones.  I will be sending my condolences to the families and will be wearing my club colours and black armband on Thursday to work.

      Rest In Peace and may you one day get the Justice you deserve.
