Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[canuckblue]

Hes been charged with attempted murder and destroying the Brazilian rainforests plus abusing Bono

He should get good behaviour for the Bono part.

He would have put Sting in a coma but he ran into the remaining forest

Ahh, he loves forests does our Sting you’ll never get him out of there now!

Why are people trawling through lads twitters over actual 5 years or more ago to see if they were idiot teenagers?!

Glad social media wasn't really around when I was 15, god knows the sort of untethered wham I would have unleashed

How many camera angles have been seen of this incident?

 

[Marius57]

They (liverpool fans, media, whoever) have done their job well. If you google ‘Firminio racism’, the first link is about Holgate and homophobic tweets. It’s appalling really. Every article you see is about Holgate and stuff he said years ago.

Christ, if you trawled through premier league footballer's Twitter history you would have to postpone an entire weekend of football because half the players would be banned. It's madness.

Weren’t we all idiot teenagers.

It’s pathetic from both sides.

The FA need this sorting one way or the other as it’s dragging.

I'm still an idiot.

I'm still an idiot teenager and I'm going on 30 on Valentine's day.

I think it’s proper women like behaviour in a argument

it's not a case of the referee not having heard what firmino was saying though. clearly he was close enough to hear firmino speaking. of course specific words do snap you to attention, i.e. if someone says your name or, in my case, if the missus says 'money' ! i think you would be alone if you are trying to say you havent been paying attention to something and then a word has caught your attention for whatever reason. n word is definitely an attention catcher in my mind.

thats just my perspective of course, but i do think if it turns out holgate is the only one to have heard it (and firmino doesnt admit to it like suarez did, key difference there), then it is extremely unlikely to be taken any further, partly on that basis that they think it would be unlikely it could have been said without anyone in hearing range not hearing it.

Think you may well be right about the outcome mate, also, Kenny has almost got Firmino by the arm when Holgate reacts, and Kenny doesn't flinch, so it wouldn't surprise me if the FA don't look at that and use it as a reason not to take it any further.

Luckily she kept buying scented bog roll. Took the shine right off it.

I have a whole host of new hobbies if you want a new one though?

Are any of them in the same league as eating toilet paper?
