FA investigating tragedy chanting during Luton Town-Liverpool draw

The Football Association have announced that they are "seeking observations" after tragedy chanting was reported at Kenilworth Road during Liverpool's clash with Luton Town on Sunday evening.

The Reds' four-game winning run ended in a 1-1 draw against the newly-promoted side, as Tahith Chong opened the scoring before Luis Diaz came off the bench to net an injury-time leveller.

However, the exciting contest was overshadowed by allegations of vile chants relating to the Hillsborough disaster, where 97 fans died and 766 more were injured during a stadium crush in 1989.

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher claimed to have heard tragedy chanting while commenting on the game for Sky Sports, saying: "At the start of the season I was involved in something with supporters coming together about tragedy chanting.

"I've just heard that a couple of times in this game. As supporters, you've got to have rivalry, there is no doubt. But we're better than that.

"It's happened two or three times in the game. All clubs have been guilty of that over the years at different times. But the world we live in right now, I think we're better than that."

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp also said that any fans engaging in such chanting should be ashamed of themselves, although the German confessed that he did not hear the songs being bellowed out at Kenilworth Road.

The FA have now revealed that they are working with Luton and the local police force to identify those responsible, saying in a statement: "We are aware of tragedy chanting during the fixture between Luton Town and Liverpool.

"We are seeking observations from Luton Town and further detail from the Police. We strongly condemn chanting of this nature and will continue to work closely with our stakeholders across the game, including the clubs, leagues, fan groups, and the relevant authorities to proactively address the issue."

The Football Supporters' Association also condemned the "totally unacceptable" chants while acknowledging the efforts of Liverpool supporters' group Spirit of Shankly to stamp out the offensive signing, as well as praising Nottingham Forest - who were the Reds' opponents during the disaster - for their tribute at Anfield last week.

"Tragedy chanting reared its head again yesterday. Totally unacceptable but also worth highlighting the progress on this issue in recent years with @spiritofshankly leading the way in condemning ALL such chants & great support from likes of Forest fans at Anfield last week," the FSA said on X, formerly known as Twitter.

"No 'whataboutery'. Just because something horrible was chanted in the past, it doesn't give anyone a free pass to sing something horrible years later. Let's all draw a line in the sand."

During June's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley, a photo circulated of a Red Devils supporter wearing a disgraceful T-shirt mocking the victims of the disaster, and the man in question was soon arrested.

James White, 33, admitted displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress and was given a four-year ban from all football matches in the UK, as well as being fined £1,000. body check tags ::
