Firmino Racism Allegations

[Guest Pistonbroke]

In which case, mission accomplished.

 

Because I reckon that was the real motivation for all this nonsense in the first place.

 

I agree. Plus the FA will want to appease Everton FC by not charging him, imagine the fume if they did?

Beleive it or not, the FA offices close on a Friday and do not open until Monday morning so, nothing officially has happened after the game ended. It will be later in the week probably.

 

Mate, I live in Australia - a backwater as you know - and our sporting offices don't "close" on weekends.

 

Certainly not for something like this.

 

I'd say people are thinking about it in their professional capacities, as we correspond.

It must have been a friendly ghost who confirmed they were going to look into it. 

 

“The FA can confirm that referee Bobby Madley was made aware of an allegation during the Liverpool versus Everton game at Anfield last night and has subsequently reported this to the FA, which will now begin making enquiries into the matter,” read an FA statement.

[aRdja]

That's pretty much what the Mirror were reporting on the night.

 

I think it may be relevant that Everton (as far as I can tell) haven't lodged an official complaint. It may just be that (as everyone saw) Holgate said something to the ref, the referee quite rightly put it in his report and the FA quite rightly have to investigate it.

It’s the weekend. If they were gonna do it you’d expect them to lodge it first thing Monday.

Yes but the investigative offices are not open until Monday. That is just a press release.

I'll defer to your superior knowledge upon that.  I don't know anything about their investigative practices.

Funnily enough, the crap ref was happily overlooking the push at the time.

Holgate was in the clear there and then.

 

Ironically, it was Firmino's justifiable ire that panicked Holgate again.

 

(On face value, of course, and I'm just guessing)

Yep, but because the referee took no action the FA can deem it as dangerous play from Holgate and take appropriate action themselves.

I do not have superior knowledge mate. The Press Office will remain open and obviously refs reports still submitted but they wont be looking at this until Monday.

Yeah, I was just looking back and Suarez was charged on a Wednesday.

Yeah, Holgate's gonna get off isn't he.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Probably, but you never know. Hopefully one or more of the spectators who were endangered due to Holgate's actions have lodged a complaint with the F.A, as they will have to act then.

I saw puta and loco

Any good ?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Any good ?

 

Not as good as Tito and Tarantula.

I thought they could only dish out bans for stuff the ref hasn’t seen? In the case of Holgate launching Bobby I mean. If he doesn’t dish out a card at the time that’s that isn’t it? Unless he says he didn’t have a clear view or whatever

Dangerous play is different. I think. 

 

Plus the incident has been put in the refs match report as a special case. They have to look at Holgate's push as it was that which started the incident.

Here's a timetable of what'll happen, to stop y'all griping with each other.

 

To summarise. If charged, that should be done by Tuesday coming with a hearing on Thursday.

End of thread til Thursday night.

[SasaS]

They more I read GOT, the more I think that being an Everton fan should be a recognised mental illness.

 

I didn't know Everton appears in the Game of Thrones.

In the Everton version they fight for control of a cuckoo clock.

This gif might help to keep things ticking along.

No reaction from Kenny, Lallana or Madley.
