Police are investigating after offensive comments about the Hillsborough disaster were posted online.

Merseyside Police said they had received a number of complaints since yesterday afternoon about comments posted by a Facebook user concerning the 1989 disaster.

The Chelsea fan then posted a picture of his ticket to the club’s game at Anfield later this month.

The comments were posted on Twitter as an image and retweeted by a number of users.

A police spokesman said: “Thanks to all who have reported the image containing offensive Hillsborough comments.

“We are aware of this and are currently investigating.”

The comments were made yesterday as the 25th anniversary of the service was marked.
