Firmino Racism Allegations

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Did he hide his mouth?

Yes.

[skend04]

The FA only charge you once they are going to find you guilty. Jay's got little chance unless he personally takes the legal route against the opposition player I'm guessing.

Not sure that would do much

Think he would have to put a case up against the FA and have a injunction against a suspension

[Barnesey]

Did he hide his mouth?

Maybe he thought his breath stank

[Funkasy]

Every fucker hides his mouth now, they must all be racists

[Paulie Dangerously]

Heard that before the match Jay was listening to Black Sunday by 90s hip hop band Cypress Hill which makes it ironic that his career has taken hits from the Bong. 

[magicrat]

What are the club doing about this? They should be putting pressure on them publically to either charge him or fuck off, how can a case a week afterwards be dealt with but Firmino is left hanging.

 

Definitely waiting for some big news so they can release a statement saying no charge under the radar.

 

 

The whole thing is going nowhere and the club are doing the right thing in not stirring the shit,

No charges have been issued and there is no time frame to "reviewing the incident". I daresay behind the scenes there have been conversations and judging from lack of concern by the player or the club the whole thing will slip quietly off the radar shortly with some bland statement to say the FA wont be issuing any charges. Really not worth getting upset about and certainly not worth publicly backing the FA into a corner over, 

[Lee909]

Yeah im expecting the FA are just hoping it goes away. They don't actually need to make a statement if there is no charge

[Boss]

Surely with the loaning out of Sturridge the club have some inside information that he's not getting charged. They wouldn't leave us so short of strikers if they knew there was a high possibility we'd be losing Firmino for a month or two. You'd hope that'd be the case anyway.

As if we'd plan like that.

Ahhh you sweet naïve little thing...........

[Einch]

It’s probably taking so long because they a desperately trying to find a way to convict him. Remember the FA do not need to worry about charging you. Once charged you are guilty and the Kangaroo court will enforce that.

[Pureblood]

The Rodriguez incident seemed fairly innocuous. I'm obviously not a professional lip reader, but he didn't appear to say anything. If he's been charged purely based on his smelly breath gesture, then that's a bit dodgy and you fully understand why Rodriguez isn't just accepting it.

 

This has made me a bit nervous about Firmino now.

 

He hasn't been charged based on a gesture - Bong alleges that words were used. 

[SlugTrail]

[sybian]

 

Thats what Firmino should have done.

[El Dangerous]

The allegation was that Rodriguez called him a smelly black bastard or words to that effect.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Aah... When I first read about it, I thought the inference was that the nose-pegging itself was being taken as a racist gesture.

 

Why do nobheads have to make their insults racist?*  If John Terry had just called Anton Ferdinand a "fucking cunt" (with no extra adjective) that would have been an end to it; same with calling someone a "smelly bastard".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Possibly because they're nobheads.  And racist.

I hope you covered your mouth when you said that?

[razor]

 

I didn't expect that.

Players are going to have to start wearing microphones on their jerseys.

The Inquisition has 2 chief weapons in its arsenal! Surprise, fear and cunning! Three! Three! The Inquisition has 3 chief weapons. Surprise, fear and cunning!

 

Classic Python.

[Lario]

I still don't know why calling a black player "black" is racist.

 

Is it not a discriptor? Like tall, white, Asian, Irish, fat, Italian, Scouse?

 

Unless the person on the receiving end thinks there's something wrong with being black themselves?!

 

I'm a short, fat, white, Irishman...and probably a cunt to boot. The cunt part is subjective, which is the part I'd take offence to. The rest of it is factually correct.

 

In the Rodriguez thing, we don't know if Bong is smelly and we don't know if he's a bastard. The only thing we know for definite is he's black.

If he called him a smelly bastard it would be fine but using the word 'black' before it, could be interpreted that he think's the person's race is a reason for him being a smelly bastard, which is a racial slur.

[TheHowieLama]

What if someone called you a smelly white bastard - is that racist?

 

Assuming you are white -- thinking only a white fella would call himself Elite. Oohhh!!
