FA concern over 'abhorrent' Hillsborough chants

rte.ie

The Football Association has expressed concern over the rise in frequency of offensive chanting about the Hillsborough disaster.

Labour MP Ian Byrne, himself a survivor of the 1989 tragedy, said in a letter to the Premier League last week that such chants had now become "incessant", and a "weekly occurrence" at games involving Liverpool.

Ninety-seven Reds fans were found to have been unlawfully killed as a result of the failings of the emergency services at the FA semi-final match against Nottingham Forest at Hillsborough.

While the FA considers chants about the disaster to be deeply inappropriate and offensive, it cannot sanction clubs over them because it only has jurisdiction under its rules to act on discriminatory chanting.
