23 years later it's revealed that the tragedy in Sheffield (tens of Liverpool fans died) was not caused by fans but by the police (or who for it) ...
nice!!!
The report finds flaws in the police operation and new evidence that the police carried out checks on those who had died in order to "impugn their reputations".
Non-league Bashley Town have written to the Football Association requesting their FA Cup first-round qualifying match against Gosport Borough is replayed after a clear goal was missed by referee Ian Bull.
With the teams level at 2-2, Bashley 'scored' late on after James Stokoe struck from close range, but in frustration the Gosport keeper kicked the ball through the side netting. And, having missed the ball going in, referee Bull then awarded a corner.
"We feel cheated," Bashley vice-chairman Tim Titheridge told BBC Sport.
The incident was also missed by the assistant referee and Bashley went on to lose 3-2 after extra time. It is a mistake Titheridge believes has cost them up to £10,000.
