Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[maccavennie]

Holgate may get punished on the tweets, Andre Grey got a 4 match ban for his.

15 years old he was when he tweeted them so I'd be surprised if he got punished for it.

 

[brigadier]

if they put barnes on the case you know they are guilty, the kopites will be voting him out.

 

[kev101]

Our manager and directors of our club should rise above this kind of thing, not insinuate anything and let the correct authorities deal with it. When the decision has been reached then comment, agree or appeal to it.

This attitude is exactly why we get f****d over all the time.

What point? He only said he thought the ref was consulting the 4th official over the push and found out later it was about something else.

In doing so he was attempting to frame the nature and range of any inquiry: "bit of push and shove, bit of verbals...nothing to see here..."

Big Sam: "I've nowt to say lad. Walshy might".

Not good enough.

You just know them lot will make a big deal out of it to distract from Firmino.

Haha what attitude is that ? Waiting and seeing what happens, maybe getting all the facts first ? Before you burst in with all guns blazing, to what is a very sensitive issue.
Ah it really is the Jeremy Kyle age nowadays.

I thought Grey's were a few years old too, may be mistaken though

The FA will act only reluctantly, and media disinterest is what pleases them with respect to that. Why help them bury this issue by stating nothing before their judgement

Still disagree completely. I bet if you asked our bench, they would have said the same. In fact so would everyone watching on tv if they didnt show replays.

Klopp can have his moments but this isnt one.

Grey's were mate but I think he was 20/21 when he posted his. The fact that the cretins think they are some kind of Columbo/Ironside and find the need to go through players Twitter accounts shows you the level of knobheadishness that supports them.

Anything they say before getting the facts leaves them open to all sorts. Bloody hell Davek.

Really? That doesn't sound like much of a bench if they wouldn't 100% believe at least two of their own players on the pitch at point blank range to the incident.

Team morale must be rubbish.

At what point did players rush over to the bench to tell them what had happened? If none of them did then how would they know?

They probably only found out at HT

It's not a forensic court of law mate. It's a panel making a decision on an incident in a football match and if it looks 50/50 then they'll be delighted if there's no one going to bat publicly for the injured party.

How do you not see that?

After the final whistle went they'd have known...all of them including Allardyce.

It's a pretty dire team spirit we have if all of them aren't 100% looking for justice.

Did Allardyce think in any way it was debateable?
