Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

Not open for further replies.
This is a reference to the goal scored by the Dutchman.

'Yet, this great moment has been forgotten to an extent due to a moment of controversy that allegedly happened in the first half after Firmino was forced over the advertising hoardings by Mason Holgate'.

I suggest that it wasn't great and it has been forgotten because they lost in the next round. Still never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
 

This is ridiculous, obviously Holgate wouldn't have reacted in the way he did, if he wasn't racially abused, the referee wouldn't of reacted to way he did if Holgate wasn't racially abused. Honestly the garbage about the FA and FIFA being against racism is ludicrous. Choosing the hold tournaments in Russia, where Black players are abused by the own fans. Then Qatar where migrants and locked up in huts and only allowed out to work in dangerous conditions, where many of them die. That's why I'm no longer interested in international football, the decision to hold tournaments in South Africa, whose government murder people every day and Brazil a country that makes Eastern Europe look like Iceland with regards to corruption. It's ridiculous that these organisations even claim to be against racism, when claims are made and not even taken seriously. When they do it's usually a stupid case like the idiotic women's manager, who just came across as a moron rather than a actual racist and sexist. He was just too stupid to realize he was being offensive. However when players actually call other players names, it just gets ignored.
 
I'm surprised Piara Powar hasn't been all over this. I am not on Twa..sorry Twitter. Maybe someone could ask him his views. It needs sorting and has done for weeks.
 
Campaigns like kick it out should be demanding responses from the FA. Why aren’t the PFA backing up either a player falsely accused of racism, or a player the victim of racist abuse. The silence is deafening.
 

What an indictment of the English game when a racist is allowed to play on week in week out and the FA place this on the back burner.

Shame on them. They made an unambiguous statement that there was to be an inquiry over this, and now here we are almost 6 weeks later with no updates and no sign of a conclusion.

And where are our local media on this? Keeping their heads down unless they get a bullet in the post or phone calls threatening to kill them, their partners and kids?

FFS 47 days....

....47 'kin days.
