Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[kenada_blue]

He bottled it. Just like the Suarez/Evra ref bottled it.

He lost control of that game, clear as day. Flaked on the peno. Didn't give us anything. Should've sent Rooney off.

Nothing to do with being a home ref or anything, he just needed to control the game and make correct decisions.

why did the ref run over to the fourth official, was he covering himself, this is nagging away at me.

I thought this to.
Was very odd move.
I originally thought it was that 4th official had seen spitting.
They are all linked to someone viewing a tv screen already, have been for years. Even though VAR isn't live yet.
If a ref makes a clanger, he knows within seconds.

Thanks for the intelligent question

I mean their inability to replace Lukaku or stones or Baines, lack of prepared transfers (when other clubs can get players in time eg VVD) and losing players like Brakley, Walsh etc

Is that enough or do you want more?

 

[Walken]

did that Blakley work on the buses ?

i ate you koeman!

Firminho should be arrested for crimes against fashion tbh. State of that bloke

I think they have to report it to the fourth official.

The punishment for falsing accusing someone of racism should be as severe as being guilty. It's happened right under the referee's nose which makes me think this will be cleared up right away and will go down as a misunderstanding. Such accusations shouldn't be thrown around lightly because it's overshadowed a decent game and may have damaged an innocent player's reputation.

hi mate, welcome back, we haven't seen you since the everton v man city game, where as you rightly predicted, we threw the match. Why haven't you been on here since the liverpool title run in? Had nothing to shout about since then?

Nice blue profile picture you got there, really threw us off guard with that one.

Oh look, neither Football Focus or Sky Soccer Saturday went with the racial abuse story.

Funny that.

 

[Tin-Tin]

People saying he could of falsely accused Firmino of racism, wtf seriously? How many games as he played against how many opponents, been on the end of nasty challenges and made them, got caught up in other fracas but all of a sudden now he decides to throw a false accusation? People make it sound like he had the whole thing planned.

Either Firmino did say what Holgate is accusing him of or Holgate has misheard him and got the wrong end of the stick. To accuse him of purposely playing the race card is disgusting.

To be fair they probably cant discuss it while the F.A are investigating.

 

[ashwuk76]

Now shearer and his family getting abuse from Liverpool fans because he said it wasn't a penalty.. wonder if they will abuse klippity as well because he said it wasn't a penalty.

They really are something else and vile excuse for "humans"

That was never the case when Suarez racially abused Evra.

Plenty of things to give us stick about but holding up a transfer to the RS that dragged on for months from the summer , saw them publicly have to apologise and massively increased in price isn’t the best example.

So it's taken how long to get a striker in?
Longer than they've been chasing VVD I think

Twitter is staggering.

Every time they get on the back foot about anything they bring up hillsborough.

It’s so stunningly disrespectful to the actual victims and their families, I can’t wrap my head around it

They're a cult.

Pickford , Keane, Siggy, Klaasen, Rooney... ok not all worked out but they were all signed in one window. Kenny, Calvert Lewin, Davis al come through the system at the academy I think.... Barkley was always gong to go. And VVD signing for them was a long drawn out affair as they wanted him last summer. But carry on with your agenda.

As I said they haven't replaced Lukaku, Stones or Baines, none of the players you mention are anywhere near those?

Calvert Lewin was bought, not academy, the only one at the right level is JJK.
I feel sorry for Davies, he has been over used and given no specific role, picking up the pieces behind a very poor schniderlin and Klassen, when we rely on a 19 year old despite spending €100m, it shows the board are incapable.

Barkley was mismanaged, directly and in-directly by not replacing them above.

It's a long term failure of the board, can't you see we're slipping down the rankings?
