Lagos - meetings with Glo etc
The question is, Have any of the papers had some gymnasts or acrobats live acting the push from Holgate to see if that was intentional. They could replicate how Firmino fell into the crowd.
But no, they fucking havent. Biased S*n reading cunts.
Hehe. Nope. Sorry to burst your bubble.
I'm a black, 6'3 tall, athletic guy with a haircut like Balotelli.
Such a shame he didn't work out. It would have been so cool!
Wow, we could be twins!
Freckled with BLACK hair ? Surely that must be ginger if freckled !
And the Coutinho/replacements threads keep straying dangerously into the 'net spread' territory too.
It's already depressing after Christmas but this is like fucking torture.
We're unbeaten in 17 games & yet half of our fans seem to think the sky is falling.
Best XI thread for the hat trick
Whilst I'm no fan of Holgate, I really don't think his tweets constituted homophobic abuse. Silly banter that should not have been aired in a public forum yes, but there was nothing particularly nasty or unsavoury in the tweets I saw.
Outrage and offense taking is all the rage now Doc.
Doesn't need any explanation, just say you're offended and it is so.
The alleged perpetrator is guilty until proven innocent.

A word which translates to bold in Portugese none the less.
Just like the Andre Gray charge, that's absolutely pathetic. How they can justify charging him for those tweets without even mentioning the pushes beyond me.
Ha, yes. So it does. It is in Spanish that it is the 'affectionate' term for a PoC.
Not at all
Who cares? The more important point is that there is now no way in this universe they're going to let Firmino off, after having charging Holgate. Like their dickheaded referees do in games, they will use this to try to "even it up" to avoid criticism.
It's patently ridiculous but good opportunism by the FA, and no doubt brought to their attention by our fans.
The only charge that should be brought is a violent conduct one against Holgate.
Couldn't agree more, this charge is purely for the headline.
Yeah to show they welcome the gays in football.
I imagine thats how the FA phrase it behind closed doors
You're wrong. Had they grassed him up for this out of the blue, then ok that's very different. However, they clearly did this as an act of revenge and that makes it brilliant. The fact it worked and the FA are actually playing ball is even better, the charge is a thing of beauty worthy of myself I dare say.
Shut up Dantes. Yer tit
Is he out of the woods?
It's strange that there has been no update, unless it's a clear intention to make us sweat and to fuck up planning for the next few games.
Either way, it's worrying. If the evidence were so clear cut in our favour, it should probably have been done and dusted by now. I'm guessing that the fact there should be some retrospective action against Holgate for violent conduct, means there will be at least some minor action against Firmino for his reaction. Which is fucking stupid.
That is of course assuming that he didn't say anything racist.
