Firmino Racism Allegations

[s(k)aturation]

They are so scared to look like they don't take racism seriously in this overly PC age (and the UK is probably the worst perpetrators of this bullshit these days) that even when the allegations are obviously false they are too scared to say that the allegations have no merit so saying "there was insufficient evidence and we believe they were made in good conscience" and dragging it on for ridiculously longer than necessary is a way of placating to the overly sensitive types just looking for something to fight against. 

 

It's so ridiculous. The "R word" is the new scarlet letter. 

 

 

Nice to hear from you, Rex.

Da Bluez is the only rational minded person in the GOT thread. The statement itself clarifies that the footage was viewed through a previously unseen camera angle (presumably one without Jonjo Kenny's head obscuring the view) and a team of Portuguese lip-reading experts analysed the footage and collaborated that he wasn't using racist language.

 

Then you've got all the Everton players that were interviewed and also collaborated that version of events (ie none of them heard anything racist being uttered). The referee who was less than a foot away from Firmino, staring straight at him, says he heard nothing. Mason Holgate himself apologises for the misunderstanding at halftime.

 

They seem to be mad at the rest of the Everton players for not backing Holgate. What they're really trying to say is the rest of the Everton players should've fabricated a story where they heard racist remarks - even if they didn't - and backed their player. Which is disgraceful really.

What? When? Where is this from?

Holgate clearly thought he had been insulted by the Brazilian, and suggested it had been a racist comment, but in fact he misheard, with Firmino clearly using a Portuguese phrase which basically called him a “crazy mother******”.

 

The matter seemed to have been settled at half time when Everton's backroom staff cleared up the misunderstanding with their defender

Nice 5-1 win tomorrow, then Firmino, Sakho and Flanno can drive around zonked out on diet pills as Bobby and Jon decided which Asian lady ought to be mowed down.

[Numero Veinticinco]

Accused him of being a red, standard retort to anyone on there trying to speak sense on the subject

Fuck off, Blue!

Have we decided what race Bobby actually is yet? Seems to have a bit of everything in there. Probably why he's so fucking boss.

I'd rather he was an out and out black man, i think we need one of them! Maybe get a real black man in, and Bobby can be the mixed race man which suits him more!

It does not say though he accepted he made a mistake and apologised at halftime.

It was a guess anyway -- otherwise they would have pointed it out to the ref, or at the very least after the game, and this whole shenanigan would have been swerved.

 

Unless you buy into the theory that they knew nothing racist was said but didn't come clean.

As I've said before, his race is human - which is why they hate him.

For those non gold members it really is worth the annual fee just to read Hades latest take on this saga on the MM, it’s truly outstanding, trust me you really don’t wanna miss this.

What's the point? Klopps system suits a false black man. If we stick and out and out black man up top it won't fit. We'd be better off finding a young false black man and have him as back up.

We had Sturridge, but we sent him out on loan because we're all massive, massive racists.

I'm skint until Monday. Can you provide a 6 word synopsis to tide me over?

Not sure, but if this was Skyrim he'd be an Altmer.

We’re all racists and Firmino’s snide.

Well colour me surprised.

point proved.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I'm not racist, I'd just prefer it if Firmino wasn't black. It's not optimal.

[Raymond Duck]

I’d love to see this thread disappear now, with acknowledgement I’ve just bumped it up.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

We’re all racists and Firmino’s a snide ventriloquist.

8-word synopsis.
