I still remember when the round-up coverage was interrupted to show those scenes. Just didn't appear as if it was serious enough to trap and kill people. Wrong.

I am not being rude. He said a phrase that is used regularly in sport that so happens to include the word fire and people are relating it to an event that happened nearly 30 years? Blown out of proportion unless I have missed something else.

The radiated heat was so intense, the clothes and hair of people on the pitch who had not been in the stand, was spontaneously combusting.

Sadly, the fire had perfect growth conditions which is why it spread so quickly. There was enough confinement to keep the heat in to escalate the blaze but enough ventilation to ensure the growing fire had enough oxygen.

Bradford v Swansea final? Who would have thought that!
I hope Villa score first in the return leg, otherwise the heads will drop again.
I think Michael Owen should just retire and concentrate on punditry and racehorses.

Spell it out for me then as you seem to be of the same opinion as me judging by your earlier post 
If people are annoyed just because he said the word “fire” whilst speaking about Bradford then my opinion still stands. That’s like getting annoyed because someone mentioned “flying” when referring to Man Utd or “crowded” when referring to Liverpool / Sheffield Weds. There was no malice to it and has been taken totally out of context. If it was a recent event fresh in people’s minds then I could maybe understand.
