Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[Tin-Tin]

I’ve just watched the video again, the one where Kenny obstructs the view at a critical moment. The question for me really is how on earth does the ref not hear what is said? I honestly can’t accept that he’s got a lot going on around him- he’s right there in the middle of it. He should have to answer as many questions as Firmino about this as I can’t believe he wouldn’t hear the ‘N’ word if that’s what was said.

That is a strange one but he is facing the other way in them couple of seconds, has players coming towards him from everywhere, 50,000 fans all screaming and probably the 4th official in his ear so its not out of the question that his focus was elsewhere.

Let's see how Everton football club manage this.
They've so far proven incapable of player replacement policy, transfer planning, young player development and retention, plus continuously delayed ground development and communication.

How will they back our young centre half in the face of the alleged racist attack from a sky 6 club?

I wonder.

Perhaps the RS blackmail to push for a European league will keep the FA in their place once again.

What bollox are you talking here ?

What bollox are you talking here ?

Thanks for the intelligent question

I mean their inability to replace Lukaku or stones or Baines, lack of prepared transfers (when other clubs can get players in time eg VVD) and losing players like Brakley, Walsh etc

Is that enough or do you want more?

 

[Wayno]

Twitter is staggering.

Every time they get on the back foot about anything they bring up hillsborough.

It’s so stunningly disrespectful to the actual victims and their families, I can’t wrap my head around it

Pickford , Keane, Siggy, Klaasen, Rooney... ok not all worked out but they were all signed in one window. Kenny, Calvert Lewin, Davis al come through the system at the academy I think.... Barkley was always gong to go. And VVD signing for them was a long drawn out affair as they wanted him last summer. But carry on with your agenda.

Partially mate but also due to tweets they’ve dug up from when he was a kid .

really? they are hands down the biggest sados in the world if they've done that. Remember andre gray? That was the most pathetic act i've ever heard of from football fans. It's an utter cult full of people who literally have nothing else going on in their life if they have time to do that.

Plenty of things to give us stick about but holding up a transfer to the RS that dragged on for months from the summer , saw them publicly have to apologise and massively increased in price isn’t the best example.

this will be swept under the carpet no doubt about it.

I haven't read the whole thread so apologies if this has already been said but my non-professional lip reading of Firmino had him saying "ce ta loco filho da puta" meaning you're a crazy son of a bitch. It sounds mild in English but is very offensive in Portuguese. It is not racist in any way though. And I'd probably say something similar if someone pushed me over a hoarding. Still hate his face like.

i don't agree with you. Not in the first statement, and not in this statement.

Yeah mentioned it earlier , itd been deleted when I’ve seen it but from screenshots if they’re accurate it when he was 14 and 15 he’s tweeted his mates and they’re alleging he’s used homophobic language . From what I’ve seen they been in touch with both the police and FA .

Its called Vaulting on here.
Quite popular.

why did the ref run over to the fourth official, was he covering himself, this is nagging away at me.
