Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

Big Dunc went to jail for misbehaviour on the pitch (playing for another team). Tony Kay.... just saying like, neither of them were Kopites.
 
Of course, but it would probably be closed if Holgate asked for it to be closed, which is the point I am trying to make.

Can you imagine this happening with the boot on the other foot... say one of our lads says something out of turn to Virgil.. That RAWK lot would try to finish our lad's career.
 

If a player is being investigated they should be required to sit out games until a decision is made to charge them or not. That would speed this sloth-like process up as clubs would soon cooperate smartly.

That racist has been playing in important games for them and getting goals. Travesty.

Cue Mourinho encouraging utd players to state that every City player is a racist bell and demand investigations.
 

Anyone else notice Firmino at the weekend? Discussion between the linesman and the Premier League's worst referee Jon Moss about the first penalty, Can comes running over to say his piece followed by Firmino who goes over puts his hand over his mouth and says something to the linesman, then backs off!

Yup saw that. I don't think he complimented the linesman.

It's such a rare occurrence though that any such accusation could be investigated thoroughly in days with the clubs' full attention.

It doesn't work like that you though. The only way you could thoroughly investigate an allegation like this in days if you had highly paid professionals on hand waiting for such an incident. You would need professional investigators, legal professionals, experts at culling media footage, sign language experts, body language experts plus a QC all sitting round with their diaries free just in case an incident like this pops up.

You will have conflicting accounts of what happened and everything needs to be thoroughly investigated, cross referenced and any anomalies looked at. You then have to make a judgement that could later be tested in the court of Arbitration for Sport that decides on the balance of probabilities what actually happened.

Make a mistake and you could be looking at millions of pounds in damages.

Laughably though you have just ignored all that and branded a player a racist because it fits with your warped hatred of the RS.

The problem with your kangeroo court mentality though is that if you get rushed judgments then it could easily be an Everton player branded a racist next time and in effect banned before an investigation has even started. I know you have a pathological hatred of anything to do with the RS but frankly Dave some things are far more important than Football rivalries.

Racism is abhorrent and dealing with it properly means we should be patient, shouldn't pre-judge things and above all shouldn't bring rivalries into it. Racism used to be prevalent at all grounds but has now largely been eradicated, that was achieved by being fair minded.

So why can't we show a bit of patience wait for the investigation to be completed, read the subsequent report and then make an informed unbiased judgement.
