Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[Harryflashman]

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

Yeah it’s awful but I’m not holding it up as an example of best practice.

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.

I assume that the 4th official hears the refs mic

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"

Lineker, for once, was also put on the spot by a fellow pundit last night.
Lineker said it wasn't a penalty too.
Rather controversial for him that like.

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 shameless. Been doing that for years.

It's an evil organisation with carnage strewn wherever they place their cloven hooves.

They do.
But last night won't be relavant as it was John Moss.
He was probably panting down the mic, as he got out of breath walking to the touchline.

Funny, Heysel never gets a mention...

Afternoon Jack.

Whilst you were watching the game last night, your mar was taking it every which way by multiple men.

Thanks for coming.

Moss - ha ha, by some distance the worst referee in the PL!

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.

The kopites don't even believe it, it's just deflection and a means of aiding their cognitive dissonance.

To blithely accuse someone of falsely accusing someone of racism is pretty shoddy stuff in itself.

Murphy said it wasn't a pen and he's on that fa panel I think

Always the victim.

 

[granter79]

I fear this will come to nothing and Holgate will come off looking worse

Also, Re: his twitter account, I don’t like the whole concept behind “he’s a victim of racism so let’s prove that he said stupid things once too” thing. Like that justifies it somehow!!!!

Secondary victimisation, and I’m not condoning what he said by the way but it’s almost like “you can’t accuse Firminho of racism because you were a daft kid once”.

They did with Andre Gray last year too.

It's dead weird that a load of 15 to 19-year-olds jump right on the history of a players Social Media accounts cos that player has, in their eyes, 'wronged' their cult.
