Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[phil_t98]

I have heard from a reliable source that there is a camera angle straight on to Firminio that shows what he saying and the reds saying he didn't say anything which apparently you can see and one of our players says he also heard it with Holgate. Make of that what you will

The reds saying he didn't say anything which apparently you can see? Sorry mate that makes no sense as how can it show something if they've said he doesn't say it.

Do you mean the camera angle shows him saying something?

Im sure theres an angle because someone posted it here on the night from a BBC camera angle but it cuts off just before it might have shown what was said.

I read it as the camera angle shows Firmino saying it and also the Liverpool players protesting to the ref that he didn’t say it whilst the Everton players said he did. Would be good to see that camera angle though.

I was thinking to myself last week, if he was guilty what would other sides think about some of the results he could have had an influence on, scoring against City, could have equalised against Swansea last moment of the match.

The FA are an absolute joke that its taken this long to still not have come to a decision still

I think it means there's an angle that clearly shows with Firminho says and that the same angle also shows the RS players denying he said it, despite the fact it's obvious, and one of our players agreeing with Holgate.

I just imagine a scene where a group of FA lawyers and officials have been locked in a room for three weeks staring at a screen with a camera angle of Firmino mouthing the N word. Every now and again the chair says:

"I'll ask again: any ideas how we can cover this up? Anyone?.......Lads?.....FFS.

I'll send for more tea and biscuits, then.

Just going for a piss".

I think the FA are more worried about not damaging brands, theres and Liverpool's, pathetic really

 

[davek]

If this was a clear case of no charge to answer for Firmino this would have been done two weeks ago. They're probably waiting on Liverpool getting another forward in to ban him.

 

[dublinbluenose]

They've been far too busy going through Fizzer's twitter this week to deal with it. As have kickitout apparently.

 

[mccole]

It’s a bit fishy that we only have 1 Tv angle at a live televised game on the BBC and put at 8pm in a Friday to accommodate a Worldwide audience

I think the FA and Liverpool being so quiet that there is more to this

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Crazy this hasn't been dealt with yet. Stinks of them trying to find a way, any way, for a cover up to keep precious innocent Liverpool's 'good' name in tact. Disgusting corrupt FA. Expect nothing less. It's a cut and dry case, either he said something or he didn't. Is a mysterious camera angle going to appear after four weeks? Can they not find a Portuguese translator?

 

[billyblue80]

Of course there's another angle there are multiple cameras at games these days and then you have all the camera [Poor language removed] in the crowd. There has to be more to this given the time length. I am guessing but they are waiting for it to cool down before issuing a ban.

 

[4737carlin]

Its like when a bouncer beats up a kid and that camera angle cant be found, if he is innocent you can be sure they would of had that angle out the next day, kopite lawyers have issued a D Notice and the FA are playing ball
