Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[jaycee]

He didn’t get done for the push because it wasn’t violent conduct.

Simple as that.

People cannot be serious when they think that push was worthy of a ban.

Surely attempted murder should warrant at least a card?

He could have taken his head off.

The FA will get onto it as soon as the manslaugher court case is done with.

Firmino deserved it, the scrag

It could have killed him FFS! There was an 18 inch drop on the other side of that advertising board.

Violent conduct is a red card offence though If Holgate was to receive a sanction at the time it would of been a yellow card for unsportsmanlike behaviour which is a misconduct offence.

You can’t get a yellow after the game it’s only violent conduct.

The FA need more time to hear Kopite experts on Brazilian scatological phrases that sound like the word N*****.

if miley cyrus can come in like a wrecking ball without any repercussions then i don't see why holgate should be punished

I think you will find they speak Portugese in Brazil not Brazilian.

Patois.

Your post started with the word didn't which is past tense.

Your post indicated that Holgate 'didn't' get done because it wasn't violent conduct. I agree that the push wasn't violent conduct but probably the correct action should of been to book Holgate. I also think in normal circumstances Firmino would also of been booked for his reaction.

What happened in the aftermath probably clouded the Ref's mind. For me he did the right thing in reporting the incident to the 4th official because an accusation of racism is more important than a bit of handbags.

Did the push not come before the comments from Firmino? If the push came first (and the echo story I read claims it did), then the son of a b comment is entirely justified. Obviously a racist comment isn’t.

And it depends how many stairs. At my work there is a short staircase near the entrance with just 2 steps. If you pushed someone down that they’d probably be fine. But it might cause them to fall over and they could say something because they were angry about it.

Come on? Yes, pushing someone down a normal flight of stairs isn’t the same as what Holgate did. But calling someone a son of a b in the middle of an office isn’t the same as what Firmino did either is it?

Do you know what I think the big problem here is. No one really gives a sh1t whether anything racist was said. No one really cares how it made Holgate feel, or if there is a wider problem in the game. You/other fans just want to see a Liverpool player banned and see Klopp have to answer questions on it in the press conference for a cheap laugh. I’ll admit that would be mildly amusing, but it wouldn’t solve anything.

They’d still be miles better than us. Plus, just our Everton luck, his first back from his ban would probably be the derby and he’d score a 93rd minute winner.

Hi mate, shut up mate, thanks mate.
