Godfather Of Champions

In the minds of reporters, the game was full of ups and downs, but the press conference after the game was the real focus. Regarding the fan riots in the middle of the game, reporters are eager to hear the views of the coaches of both sides.

So not long after the game ended, the reporters ended their interviews in the mixed zone and gathered at the press conference to wait for the head coaches of both sides to come out.

Dunn was the first to come out, followed by the head coach Millwall, the dejected Alan McReilly. According to common sense, the coaches of both sides should shake hands and salute, but Dunn sat in his own position with his hands in his pockets, and didn't mean to shake hands with the other coach. McCrelly stood on the stage for a moment, then sat down in his own position a little embarrassed.

As soon as the host announced the official start of the press conference, the reporters all raised their hands.

The reporters are obviously not concerned about the amazing score of 7:1. Any score on the football field is possible. 7:1 has not exceeded the scope of the earth and reached Mars. This game has the most publicity value and gimmick, and the story that attracts the public’s attention the most happened in the stands. The insulting singing of Millwall fans and the subsequent riots caused by fans on both sides were the targets of reporters’ questions. .

For these problems, Dunn grabbed the microphone first. Finish what should be said early, and then leave here back to Nottingham. He didn't want to sit with the person next to him for too long.

"I understand that you all want to know about the things that happened in the stands, but I don't want to mention them. I suggest that you ask the chairman of the Millwall club and the head coach next to me. They should know best that their supporters are Who is it." These words directly put almost all Millwall people on the opposite side of Dunn, but he didn't care, and he didn't win by courting opponents fans. "I just want to say one thing, I am very satisfied with the performance of my players in the second half, they are worthy of this victory."

A reporter saw that Dunn seemed to have the intention to leave, so he rushed to ask: "Excuse me, Mr. Dunn! Your team's performance in the first half and the second half was very different. You told them during the intermission. What, is there any special arrangement?"

Dunn stared at the reporter who asked the question and said: "I told my players that if they are angry at the singing of Millwall fans, they will use goals to gag their mouths. Sing once and score a goal. Sing. One goal at a time. Until they don’t dare to speak out again. I’m very happy that my players did this."

Then he ignored the commotion caused by the words, put the microphone on the table, and got up and left.

The host reminded him: "Sir, the press conference is not over yet..."

"That's his not over yet." Dunn pointed to McReilly, "I have nothing to say, Mr. Host. Everyone!" He shouted to the reporter, "If you have any questions, just ask Alan Mack. Mr. Riley!"

After speaking, he turned and stepped down.

A depressed McReilly mumbled behind his back: "I have never seen such a lacklustre person..."

Dunn walked halfway because he stopped again because of this sentence. He turned to look at McCrelly, his eyes fierce as if he was about to eat people. "Grace? Mr. Alan McReilly..." He spoke slowly and clearly, speaking word by word. "There is one thing I can confirm, my demeanor must be billions of times better than you and your supporters in the stands!"

After finishing speaking, he no longer cared how the excited reporters called his name, and left this small press conference hall without looking back.

Nottingham Forest played Millwall 7:1 in the away game and successfully entered the semifinals. However, there were not many reports about the score. Instead, the fan riots in the stands made the headlines of various British media after the game.

After the media contacted the match between Nottingham Forest and Millwall at the end of last season, the football hooligans fight resulted in the death of an innocent child, and put the headline in the newspaper: The Return of the Football Hooligan! The return of football violence!

The suppressed excitement was on the paper.

In fact, this attitude of the media has to start with the catastrophe 14 years ago.

Since the Hesburgh tragedy, the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who has been watching football so much, finally found an excuse to rectify this "violent sport." She entrusted Chief Justice Taylor to conduct a detailed independent investigation. In view of the football environment in the United Kingdom at that time, the two versions of the "Taylor Investigation Report" were launched in half a year.

In this famous report, Judge Taylor made various suggestions in a responsible attitude towards the sport of football and the entire British society. But the British government only took a few of them: for example, the stadium was fully repaired, all standing seats were changed to seats, and the separation wall was removed.

In 1973, the British government established a stadium safety license review and issuance agency, and those stadiums that do not meet the safety requirements will not be issued safety licenses. But the safety license of the Hesburgh Stadium where the tragedy occurred has expired for ten years! According to the 10-year-old safety license of Hillsborough Stadium, the third and fourth areas of the west stand can accommodate 2,200 people. But its actual maximum capacity is less than 1,700 people. At the time of the tragedy, more than 3,000 fans rushed into the two communities from an underground passage, which directly led to the disaster of crowds and trampling.

Although subjectively speaking, what Mrs Thatcher did was to suppress the sport that she hated, but objectively it did promote the reform of English football. Today, people can sit on plastic seats, have special emergency evacuation routes, and watch football in a completely renovated stadium, thanks to the "Taylor Report" and the Thatcher government.

The "Taylor Report" also laid the foundation for the establishment of the Premier League in terms of security and hardware facilities. The Premier League, which had been brewing for a long time in 1992, made its grand debut, and immediately attracted the attention of fans all over the world with its wonderful games. Under the highly market-oriented commercial operation, the Premier League has become more exciting year after year. It seems that English football has returned to its former glory years, and even the stubborn disease of football hooligans seems to have gradually disappeared from the top league in England.

In fact, on the issue of football hooligans, it is not only the fans, but the British government and media who should take responsibility and atone for those tragedies.

Perhaps 99% of football fans in the UK are innocent, but as long as one% of football hooligans exist, others will follow. In the Scotland Yard of the British Police Service, there is a "blacklist" for registering the identities of football hooligans. This list has been established since the Thatcher government. More than ten years have passed. They strictly follow a Thatcher The principle that my wife once put forward euphemistically-I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one pass.

So countless innocent fans followed the bad luck. Fans with a legitimate career and no previous convictions were inexplicably on the blacklist of football hooligans and were banned from going abroad to watch football. The reason may simply be that "they used to enter the same stadium as the football hooligans" "they drank in the same bar with the football hooligans"...

Of course, the government's treatment of football hooliganism so rudely, the role of the media in fueling the flames cannot be underestimated.

To give a very representative example in the history of English football is enough to illustrate the role of the media in the issue of football hooligans.

Liverpool fans in Merseyside will never forget their hatred of The Sun, because this influential newspaper in the UK competed with The Mirror in order to attract attention after the Hesburgh tragedy. They grabbed news resources and did not hesitate to compile a live report to sensationalize. They succeeded in doing this. Until now, many people believe that the Hesburgh tragedy was caused by the "notorious" Liverpool fans because of the media coverage at the time. As a result of the riots, they think they "deserve to die."

The front page of "The Sun" that day was called "the most shameful front page headline in the history of news"-THE`TRUTH!

The so-called truth of The Sun is that Liverpool fans deserved to die, because it was their drunk fighting with each other that led to this tragedy. They vividly described to readers what happened in the Hesburgh Stadium: those “scum” Liverpool fans took advantage of the chaos to **** the deceased’s wallets, clothes, watches... to pee on the police keeping order, and beat those who gave artificial respiration to the wounded. The treatment staff even tried to gang **** a dead female fan!

They originally designed the title of this report as "You are a scum," but later changed it to "The Truth" before publishing. This is really ironic, what is the real truth?

Since the Thatcher government classified the fans as "internal enemies" at the time, it was impossible for the government to consider the safety of the enemy, and no one cared about their innocence. They even hope that the media will unanimously define the Hesburgh tragedy as a football hooligan riot, so that they can perfectly prove how correct and far-sighted their bad attitude towards football is. Thatcher’s personal advisers at a time have persisted to the Sun’s views at the time, as evidenced.

The real truth did not slowly surface until a few years later, but this truth only exists among the people. After countless hearings, the British court ruled that the Hesburgh tragedy was an “accidental accident”, and the delinquent police did not need to bear any responsibility for this. What is quite meaningful is that the evidence that allowed them to make such a ruling was fabricated by the police. from. Later, the British court refused to reopen the case because according to British law, private prosecutors have no right to appeal.
