Holgate Racially Abused By Firmino - The Guardian

[thebluenosebolt]

I don't get this comment at all? I'm probably misinterpreting it but what does playing for us have to do with anything? I'd be F'N fuming if one of our players racially abused anyone, I'd want said player hounded out of the club if they were proven to of done anything like that. Racism is wrong no matter what the context or scenario, no person derserves to be racially abused.

Yeah no, Sorry it was just me saying from my point of view that skin colour doesnt even enter my head when a player plays well or fluffs his lines...they are simply everton players....it was a daft comment from me to make.

No one seems to have given credence to the possibility that Mason heard someone in the crowd use the N word and mistakenly believed it to be Firmino. After all there are thousands of the RS there and only one of them is on the pitch next to him.. and, let's be honest, it doesn't take a huge step to think a "fan" (using the word lightly) is responsible.

Cheers Seath...not brand new tho..been here a few years now and still managing to fluff me lines. Wish I thought more before typing in truth...always sounds good in my head, Never translates well to others.

Absolutely no chance could Holgate hear the words of a fan unless you mean he heard it just after the push? Holgate only flipped when Firmino was shouting in his direction. No chance could he have heard anything, particularly by a single fan, once he and Firmino were going for each closer to the middle of the pitch.

Anyone remember the sickening Coleman "song", sung by seemingly the whole pub. There is footage of it somewhere, disgusting from the rs against what is a decent man and footballer. Most decent reds would agree.

Yes mate, that was really sickening, and when you consider all the things Seamus has done for the unfortunate, and charity events etc, I have been waiting a long time to see their comeuppance One day maybe.

This looks like the time it happened. Interestingly Madeley is looking away & has the ear with the earpiece to Firmino.

I thought it was a bit odd on first reading but like @ToffeeTim I realised you had merely worded it badly.

Aw poor Bobby so hard done too. Unbelievable levels of delusion and deflection in that thread. If he said nothing what are they so worries about?

My RS mate seems to think Roberto called Holgate 'son of a whore' in Portuguese.

Kenny would have definitely heard it looking at that picture.
