Yeah, stop dragging Liverpool's good name into the gutter Holgate....

He was only doing "AGADOO" to the man utd fans mate:dodgy:
 
Surprised at the mouth frothing on here. This case has been dead in the water the moment the ref reported that he heard no racist abuse, and was further buried by the fact Kennys bonce cut off the tail end of Jaw's diatribe.

Haven't got a clue what some of you have expected the FA or Everton to do here. They believe Holgate made the accusation in good faith, as do we all, but you can't pull evidence out of your arse. With Madley swallowing his tongue, firmino playing the confused victim and the TV pictures inconclusive the FA could not act. It's extremely simple.

Hell, the FA have probably kept this investigation running for so long as they hoped they'd draw a confession out of Firmino. With none coming however they have had to regrettably close it.
 
Not overly arsed that he’s ‘got away with it’ as it could genuinely be that Mason has misheard it.


However, the reaction from a large portion of their fans is typical. Holgate cant have misheard it, HE IS A LIAR!!! HE’S LIED TO ESCAPE PUNISHMENT!!! [Poor language removed] horrible rats, attitudes like this is why many dont report it due to the ‘fear’ of being labelled a liar.
 

Not even close to being the same my learned chum.

It was a ridiculous and blatant push into the hoardings, if you disagree you need to get to specsavers.

Players have been sent off for less and well you know it.

Ref would've sent him off if he thought it was violent conduct. He's at the pit, they want him off, he's not gonna "let him off" because he felt sorry for him cos he may have heard something.
 
The FA saw what everyone else saw, absolutely nothing. And they even brought in Portuguese lip readers to make sure on what happened.

How dare the FA do everything they could and then not charge the club we all hate for something that they couldn’t find was said. The faux outrage is unreal lol
 

If nobody heard it, nobody heard it, the boy Mase has clearly got his wires crossed in a heated moment.

Fully expect a ban for the tweets tho sadly, think its a bit harsh, considering what he said and the age he said it, but you take it on the chin and move on.

As ive said many times, no issue with Holgates push and Ladymino giving him a lashing for it.
 
I suppose people will read into the various statements whatever they want to to back up their entrenched view on this matter.

As none of us have been party to the actual investigation we really don't know what evidence there was or wasn't or who is telling the truth. I'm biased so I believe Mason. I've tried to park that bias to one side and I still come to the conclusion that Firminio made a racial comment. It obviously can't be proved by the FA so he can't be charged.

I've previously stated that the club will need to back Mason but we don't need to be all kopite about how we do this.

It will be interesting if Mason himself releases any comments or statements independently from club. That may gives us an indication of what level of support he feels he received from the club throughout the FA investigation.

I get that people want our club to have more backbone on how the FA etc. treat us and our players. My view though is that racism in society and in the game is bigger than any footballing loyalties and the club should act with restraint and dignity when they or any of their players are involved in any racism allegation or investigation.

The Niasse diving ban on the other hand....... Utter cowards over this in my view and something we should still be mor vocal about when others seem to be getting away with diving and being credited for it (yes you Deli Elise Chistie Ali
