Fire at Flamengos training ground

[Bao]

I'd just like to bring this sad event to the forum's attention, especially as Flamengo fans have a big soft spot for the Reds.

At the final in Kiev, we kept seeing small groups walking round with a shirt and badge we couldn't work out. In the end we stopped some and asked who they were and they told us Flamengo. We assumed Brazilians would be over for Madrid but they told us they'd travelled over to Kiev to watch Liverpool. Flamengo are big Liverpool fans since they beat us in the World Club Championship in 1981, the biggest year in their history. 

 

Thoughts, sadness and best wishes with them today.

it's really f***ing grim. Horrible way to die and so young too. Should have had so much to look forward to

God, that is sad. Fire is absolutely terrifying.

 

I think it is cool having relationships like that with Flamengo. The club should encourage them. I’ve always thought it would be cool to have more of a thing with that South American club that’s called Liverpool. Invite them up for a u-23 knock around or something like that.

It looks absolutely horrific.
