This is what Carragher says about Hillsborough
JAMIE CARRAGHER ON HILLSBOROUGH
While I would much rather footballers didn't spit out of habit on football pitches, I find it very hard to conclude that he is someone who lacks respect for the victims, and the families and friends of those who died at Hillsborough.

On Wikipedia it says:
On 28 February 2008, Carragher was arrested and cautioned for assault outside a school near his home in Crosby. Liverpool refused to comment.[8]
On September 11, 2008, Carragher's biography, Carra, was released, but controversial excerpts were leaked to the press beforehand. In one instance, Carragher claimed that his close friends were looking to assault fellow Premiership player Lucas Neill but that the incident was averted only because Neill was in the company of David Thompson, one of Carragher's former teammates, who Carragher did not want to "become a witness to an assault." Carragher sent a text to Thompson, "telling him Neill should give him a hug of thanks," suggesting had Thompson not been there, Neill would have faced an assault.[9][10]
Carragher claimed he launched a deliberate hard tackle in a practice session against former Liverpool teammate Rigobert Song because of the latter's perceived mockery of Carragher's defending.[11] "Song walked on to the training pitch with a smile on his face. He was limping off it with a grimace an hour later. The first chance I got, I did him. Never have I hunted down a 50-50 tackle with greater appetite. 'You're not f***ing laughing now, are you, you soft ****?' I said as he hobbled away."[10]
Carragher also asserted therein that his brothers have trouble finding employment in the city of Liverpool because of the number of foreign immigrants working in England, prompting claims of xenophobia.[12][10] He also stated that, though he was fully committed when playing for England, international defeats did not affect him as much as club defeats with Liverpool did.[13][10]

What?
Welcome to the masses...
No, Liverpool fans can do whatever they like. The media can just stop reporting it for several weeks before, during and after. Let the people affected grieve, let the rest of us get on with our own lives.
What, so you DON'T think that scousers go over the top and revel in mawkish sentimentality? Really? That they don't use any excuse at all to grieve and feel sorry for themselves? Bollocks. Yes, many were affected, and why should they forget what happened, but it doesn't need to be rammed down everyone elses throats.
A tragedy. No question.
Nice. Not over the top at all. Well done. Let's not bother with the political motivation behind the report, after all that wouldn't help here would it. Not when there's self pity at stake. The dead should be remembered, but perhaps they should be remembered in quiet dignity instead of melodramatic shite.
So why shouldn't any other tragedies be remembered in the same way?
