Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[Moomin]

What I love about these threads, it is like a light to moths.

It pulls the kopites in " we have to defend our player "

The best one was the Saurez bite on Ivanovic. He never bit him one said, he just rested his teeth on his arm. But, he was serious not joking.

Holgate was wrong to push him, what happenened next I'm not sure so i can't see how people will defend him in hope more than anything else.

They are a strange lot to say the least but experts in South American cultures.

I found the exact quote.

I went looking on RAWK and they have a thread on Costa, I found this cracker of a post done last night.

suarez didn't 'bite' ivanovic. he stuck his teeth into his arm, costa clearly moves his lower jaw when his mouth is on barry's neck, if suarez didn't have such huge Freddie mercury teeth both incidents would be the same.

What are you taking about ?

what do you think of the comments from fellow RS fans on RAWK about the matter of racism. It's 2018 and i can't believe we're having to talk about this once again where your team is concerned. Are you going to pull up an article from the 90's next or are you actually going to live in the here and now where your club keeps getting caught up in such circumstances?

I am shocked their fans would defend such behaviour. SHOCKED!

 

[toffeejack]

Sorry but any of their black players - actually any of them who wore those t-shirts where utter cretins

said it at the time, i seriously don't understand why they did. But that's another matter i suppose. Knowing LFC they were forced to wear them or never play for the club again. There's no way any of their black players would have felt comfortable about it. If he was innocent yes, but he was clearly guilty, they trained with him every day, they would have know exactly what type of creature suarez was.

Defending Racism (alleged) with Racism. The Liverpool way!

 

[Groucho]

It's an age old tactic of smearing and ultimately blaming the victim of something mate

Look he's a homophobe cos he said something when he was 14, that excuses Firminho being racist
Look he deliberately tried to cripple for life Firminho, that excuses what was said as he was traumatised after his near death experience.

Another one I’ve heard, and is totally despicable, is the insinuation that because he pushed him in to the stands, he’s lying!!!! FFS!!!!

Different breed.

 

[Paulie]

All this after they publicly back Brewster for the racism he has endured. Great timing Liverpool well played.

Nothing shocks me which involves that horrible pile of shi£bags.

I presume you meant “talking about”. If that’s the case then I’m talking about making an apology on behalf of Everton for fielding black players.

If we didn’t do this then ”Bobby” wouldn’t have been in this environment to make such a comment. It could be classed as entrapment on our behalf.

Do you have any of those “Suarez” tshirts left?? Can you reuse them??

Again, sorry and hope theFA take appropriate action against Everton for putting your players in this position

Can't wait till the derby at the old lady...COYB​

 

[catcherintherye]

and i wonder why?

I only read a couple of those posts and had to stop. I'm sorry, but i come from a different world to those "people", i really do.

Yes and this is why the punishment now needs to not just be Firmino, but also should be LFC>

will see what's actually been said first. You hope that the ref's microphone has actually picked everything up so at least everyone can get some clarity, but there won't be any serious punishment. I don't expect that, it'll be another stupid petty fine as that's all that the FA are interested in these days. LFC have always brought shame to england tbh, hence why nobody else likes them, they just can't help themselves.

 

[LiamG]

To be honest, as if Holgate even knows what "loco puta" means

Jumping to conclusions.

At the time I thought Holgate used it to deflect from his foul which he could have easily seen red for. The boy had lost his head after the pen.

Yup seen that myself

Anyone with a modicum of ability to read a person reaction can see that he heard something VERY provocative, question only is did he mishear it or was what he heard what was said.

 

[catcherintherye]

They're shameless. Been doing that for years.

It's an evil organisation with carnage strewn wherever they place their cloven hooves.

It's disgusting and it's never the families that do it either. The fact they are working with the Sun to discredit a young black lad who's brought an accusation of racism is about as low as anyone can go.
