Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

Another “The Mirror understands” Article.

Wonder why there needs to be an FA report when it was all cleared up at half time.

What...did...I...say

This will turn against us now.

FA Kopita Corruption

No he wasn't - date of tweets show he was 14 or 15 mate

Correct that’s my understanding of it , 14 and 15 at the Time of the tweets so a child in both instances.

One in 2013. He is 21. So 16. Either way, not 12 years old like people are saying.

This is the issue the club need to take up with The Mirror, everyone is saying it didn't happen because The Mirror have said it didn't happen, when at that stage they couldnt know either way. Scum of a newspaper

Wonder how they got it when nobody else did? Are they making it up?

Between their first article and this, they are creating a witchunt. The club should threaten them.

Not only the articles, their chief sports reporter repeated the half time claim live on tv Sunday when it had already been shown to be incorrect.

Wonder who Andy Dunn supports?

But, but, but, negrito is a term of affection in South America.

Yeah he looks well affectionate.

"You crazy s.o.b, mate."

Not got a problem with people having a go at Holgate's push, it was totally reckless. However it shouldnt be used as a deflection from the alleged racism.

Not excusing the push but I must have seen hundreds of matches over the years where players have given other players a nudge into the crowd... it’s hardly some shocking thing, happens all the friggin time.

Is he trying to rob his boot there?

It wasnt a nudge though, which we do see all the time. It was a blatant 2 handed push right into the direction of the hoardings when he was already heading that way. It was dangerous and he rightly could gave recieved a red card.

The amount of times Samuel has been Kenwrights lackey he should be straight on the phone furious about this line in the article.

And, yes, racism has been responsible for extremes of misery and suffering through the centuries and must be addressed. But mindless acts of violence are no lesser crime.

The talk of a red card for that is absurd

And the crowd usually cheer, pity it wasn't at Goodison.
