The Height of Insensitivity?

On the Anfieldroad.com blog a poster claiming to be a friend of Tom Hicks jnr has been up to high jinks for the last few weeks winding up the anti-Hicks posters on the blog. All good fun until yesterday. Most of the regular posters gave the ownership crap a rest yesterday out of respect but there were posts on the memorial service and the article by Jim Boardman on the 96 is the best you will ever read and should be printed out and put on every seat at the next Anfield match. 

But I digress. This joker calls himself Texas-dawg and he responds to most comments on the ownership threads so must read all the articles and the comments. He can't have missed the ones on Hillsborough and the time of the service. What does he do? At 2.54pm and 2.58pm yesterday on he comes with posts on Hicks. he keeps it up later in the day despite one regular pulling up him for posting.

Now as this guy has reveled in his connection with the Hicks crew you could wonder whether he runs his posts and the stuff he reads on the blog by young Hicks. I don't know but would give Hicks the benefit of any doubt. He may be a stone cold businessman but nothing he has done would tell you he would stoop so low as this so-called fellow Texan. 

Some questions need to be asked because although this day might mean zilch to some others it does mean something to us. Now we've got no right to impose respect on people not connected with our club but hey there have been posts of sympathy on the Man U and Everton sites too, for which our respect by the way, so is it too much to expect this from this Texas-dawg.

Is it possible this Dog didn't know what time it was in the UK as he lives in Texas? Not renowned for quick thinking out there really.

Also without seeing what was written is it possible he hadn't read the Hillsborough stories and just didn't realise how big it was for Liverpool fans. Few other clubs or teams in the world stop everything for a day to remember anything similar that happened to them.

Did anyone try and speak to him in a respectful way, or did he get a load of rhetoric as if he was big Tom himself?
