Sporting Disasters 2

[Magpie-Fletch]

I really enjoyed it, made me wish I had of seen the first one to be honnest. My favourite part was the Ice Hockey fights when those two guys were exchanging short right hands - great stuff.

Anyone else catch this show last night?

Didn't know it was on. Saw the ad for it when I watched the England match I taped the other night, If I had of known I would have watched it. Damn

Yeah i saw it. That home run through the movin car window was a pearler.

I am still shell shocked by the fact that 92 ppl died at an English Soccer Game, though

It was 96.

Actually that was one thing that really ****ed me off, can't believe they blamed Hillsborough on Football Hooligans.

For the truth check out the Hillsborough Justice Campaign, heres their website tell me if it doesn't work: http://www.contrast.org/hillsborough/history/index.shtm

Yeah definitely wasn't a result of Hooliganism, the Heysel disaster would have been a better illustration of that.
The show had somewhat of an "American" slant on things.

Heysol was Liverpool fans making 'runs' at the Juve fans. Old English intimidation tactic that went horribly wrong.

Hillsborough was a blunder by the police when they let too many people in the wrong gates at the wrong time. Add to that the fences enclosing the fans and not allowing them on the pitch, and it was a recipe for disaster.

Yeh the Hockey one was the funniest.. the commentary especially..

"Lays a right hand, another right hand, a right hand, a right jab, a right hook"

lol, something along those lines anyway.

Yes it was grouse and my favourite part was when they ice hockey blokes just went after it and when hitting each other over and over again and the motorcroos parts were okay aswell.

Or 'Magic's Greatest Secrets Revealed 37'

I love it when they show the incident again in slow motion with the voiceover gravely giving a frame-by-frame analysis of the event, so as to not make it seem like the piece of garbage it is.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

I'd like to know who was the genius when coming up with the official rules for ice hockey who said the refs can't stop the fight until one of them hits the ground!

Agree with the comment on Hillsborough, blatantly incorrect.

Yes I was absolutely ropeable about that too

That is just journalism at its worst

No reseach just sensationalism. They should be sued.
