Have we started crying about conspiracies yet ?

Have the FA released a statement about it yet?

They said there wasn't enough evidence, but it wasn't a false allegation

Reds fuming for literally no reason

Is that really what they've said lol

Feel for Mason, don't think the club has backed him as well as they could.
Rancid kopites out in full force now with their moral high ground.
How we're from the same City as them baffles me

Read it again Tim. Club saying Holgate told the truth.

Why would we accept a verdict which we believe to be unjust?

It's not like it would change their mind if we talked tough but that lot were straight in playing on people's emotions to try and relocate the moral high ground, and we were softly softly, don't want to upset anyone, thanks for at least looking for us, plucky little everton.

I'd like us to unequivocally state we still fully back and believe Holgates version. Otherwise the lad is hung out to dry and no doubt will.

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino will not face disciplinary action from the Football Association after his clash with Everton's Mason Holgate in the FA Cup tie at Anfield in January.

Holgate had alleged Firmino used a "discriminatory term".

Following an investigation, the FA concluded the evidence was "not sufficient" to charge the Brazilian.

Firmino admitted he insulted Holgate in Portuguese, but denied using discriminatory language.

The FA said they believed him. Everton thanked the FA for acknowledging that. Not sure what else can be done.

Is essence, The FA are saying that they believe Firminio made a racist comment, (cos they said Holgate was honest) but they cannot prove it.

I'd still like us to be more forthright. We took that insane diving ban for Niasse lying down too. We are pushovers on and off the pitch. Until we have some conviction and a nasty streak in how we conduct ourselves, then we will be trampled over.
