Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[davek]

There won't be. It's one persons word against another sadly.

The outcome will be the cultists will feel hard done to and look to dredge up more dirt on Holgate from when he was a kid to make themselves feel better, as "always the victim, never their fault" is their motto at this point, whilst everyone else with a half a brain will realise Firmino said what he said in a moment of anger and it simply can't be proven. He'd be 'innocent' in the same way OJ Simpson is.

I dont think the FA will leave it at that. It makes a mockery of any stated policy to rid the game of this sort of incident: "We'll stamp it out...erm, if we can".

Sure they will. They'll be clever with the statement.

"The FA can find no definitive proof that Roberto Firmino racially abused Mason Holgate" or something along those lines - in essence dressing up what basically means "yeah he probably did but we can't prove it so we can't act on it."

I think it is a cover up,

we need this man on the case !

Nah, it'd be ridiculous. Over four weeks to come to that conclusion. No. They cant effectively tell the world that they cant police their own game and not come to a majority decision.

That fat oaf best bring this up in his presser. How disgusted at the time its taken and how young Mason is feeling victimised, even though he his the innocent party

Grow a set of balls and drive this home at every chance

That wont wash. Holgate would be left distressed that the abuse he received has not been dealt with; Firmino has the question mark hanging over him still that he's a racist.

There has to be a decisive outcome to this.

Might be why we haven't seen Holgate for 2 games?

Tbh, I was just thinking that very same thing.

It may have affected our abused player more than their abuser.

Holgate not getting picked is not down to this, it’s down to us having a bad manager who hasn’t got the sense to pick the best team every game

sorry lads, its because I put him in my FF team, my bad. I've taken him out now so expect him to be back this weekend

Simpler explanation is that Firminiho called Holgate "lovechild of Allardyce".

I'd flip out too.

If hes too good looking to play centre back hes definitely too good looking to be a lovechild of Allardyce lol

I think he has been poor ever since the Firmino incident tbh, understandable seen as it appears no one is fighting his corner.

 

[Kenshin]

Holgate isn't dropped or out of form because of the derby ffs

I mean do you really believe that?

I think there has to be a corpse before they get a pathologist like Quincy involved. Which wouldn't rule him out of investigating some of LFC's other escapades

Quincy could solve anything, the US should have made him President !

tbh I think Firminos' dog looks a bit suspect too.
