What are you defending Liverpool for all the time Thommo?

I’m not mate.

I just don’t subscribe to blinkered and crazy mob mentality.

If you can give me an example of where you believe I have defended them, I can give you my view on that particular post I made. So let’s have one and I’ll answer.
 
I suspect that those words were not written by Firmino.
He's at least ok'd them.

As said, he knows the suspicion will always be there that the FA only failed to charge him because of insufficient amounts of evidence. A technical dismissal of his case.

He'll always have this on his plate.
 
Until they release the footage the only conclusion wr can make is that the fa protecting one of their cash cows.

To have two players exposed as vile racists would've been too much to bear.

And the abuse holgate has received online reveals the mindset of the average Liverpool fan.

It's no wonder they are now known as the most racist club on the planet.

...erm, how about EVERYTHING you've said in this thread so far today?

If you view that as “defending them” then I’d suggest you are misinterpreting somewhat.

I have stated there is not enough evidence and I don’t believe the FA or Liverpool have acted badly.

Where you fall short as a logical human being, is that you are unable to differentiate between the facts and getting too involved with the ramblings of lunatics and extremists on the internet who take everything way too far.
 
Where is the money gone Bill? A stupid waste of time discussing it but a bit more sensible than the Holgate/[Poor language removed] so called incident. Another change of subject, Ramirez came on with 4 mins to go tonight. We will get our money back. How is Bill K anyway? Hopefully his health is better?

Blue supremacists, right?
 
oops. I am new to this site. I did not know that the popular epithet beginning with 'S' to describe Liverpool FC or their players qualifies as "poor language". Fair enough. Takes away a bit of the fun thought. Never mind. De rules are de rules. I will find another description, perhaps "our dear cousins across the park". A bit long winded though.
 
One thing I do applaud tonight is the general agreement amongst the more civilised that fudged decisions like this by the FA - where they fail to act - should NOT deter any player in the future from reporting their own racist abuse they suffer. Just because Firmino got off on a technicality that "enough" evidence was not there shouldn't mean others keeping silent.
