Watched live through Fox Soccer Match Pass. Showed a camera angle over Madley's left shoulder as he and Firmino were chest to chest. They played it slow mo about 5 times and it's clear as day (he either emphasized the O or in slow mo it just looks like that) in between plenty of hijueputas and variations of that curse.
 
Don’t know what we could have done more as a club? It is being investigated, I think Sam handled the situation well. I suspect that firmino has a case to answer (otherwise why call for an investigation?) If convicted, I fully expect the club to make a statement regarding the matter and condoning the actions of firmino and backing Holgate.

Don't raise your hopes: the Top 6 are untouchable as far as the spineless FA are concerned, even clubs like Liverpool who have previous for racist abuse. "Nothing to see here" will likely be their conclusion.

So John terry and Suarez didn’t get banned? The former receiving a ban despite being cleared of any wrong-doing in an actual criminal magisterial court? Not defending that cockney rat here but come on mate take off the tinfoil hat. Some of the comments in this thread would make Alex Jones and the rest of the infowars crowd wince.

The FA will most definitely do something about this if there’s enough evidence. After the Aluko case they need a PR victory and need to be seen taking issues and allegations like this seriously. I expect at the very least Firmino will be charged and expected to appear before a panel. Let’s just wait and see what happens shall we. It’s only been a day.

Why has this camera angle not been widely reported about either in the news or at the very least on social media? Surely this would be all over twitter/instagram?

That Jon Moss thing was bizarre. I thought at first it was to tell him Holgates play was dangerous. Or maybe the managers have done something.

Moss has either told him there's been a racist term heard on the mic. Or the ref has heard it and gone to qualify it.

To be fair Holgate should be booked. That's the give away for this for me. It smacks me of a white bloke not wanting to book/send off a mixed race lad when he's just been racially abused.

Wow, so you are saying the ref aint willing to rule cause he's white?

Couldn't tell you. It's an online only, pay for service? There's also a chance I'm mistaken and can't lip read as well as I think but for all the world it looks like the same word Suarez used.

You mean as in the Spanish version of the N word not the English/ American version? That would make more sense
