Firmino Racism Allegations

[TheHowieLama]

He is a less effective racist than he is a number 9.

[magicrat]

Fantastic that. 

 

Wonder what "Dixie" would think of all this. 

 

Dixie along with 99% of blues would probably laugh it off and say its bollocks as is the whole episode . Something and nothing up by the FA who are now trying to let is disappear slowly

[Total Longo]

I'm worried that if it is as we all suspect, nothing, then why is it taking forever for them to do or say anything?

Because apart from on Merseyside the thing has slipped off most peoples radar I reckon, 

Maybe they will leave it until the season ends and announce no further action who knows . The FA are a shambles . 

[SasaS]

Yes, I think so too, apart from us and them, I have a feeling everybody else has long forgotten about the incident.

[lifetime fan]

Said a couple of weeks ago the FA were just hoping it would all die down and be forgotten about.

Evertonians forget about something? Boy is that the triumph of hope over experience.

At least they still have their memories !

[El Dangerous]

What's the so called well publicised Muslim chant they're referring to?

The FA being incompetent and completely fucking clueless would surprise you?

[deiseach]

The FA have a history of cowardly behaviour in the face of Blueshite fuuuuume.

 

Red-faced FA accused of bias against Liverpool

 

Arsenal or Chelsea would not have had to finish fourth

 

Paul Doyle

 

The FA faced major embarrassment today after it emerged that its decision to exclude Liverpool from next year's Champions League unless they finished fourth in the Premiership flies in the face of a ruling they made last year when Chelsea and Arsenal were potentially in a similar predicament.

 

The FA declared just yesterday that the only way English teams can qualify for the Champions League is by finishing in the top four of the Premiership. It therefore confirmed that if Liverpool beat AC Milan and are crowned European champions later this month, they will not be allowed to defend their title unless they also beat Everton and Bolton to fourth spot in the league.

 

However, last year, at a time when Chelsea and Arsenal were still challenging in Europe, the FA announced that if either side won the Champions League, they would be permitted to re-enter the competition the following year regardless of where they finished in the Premiership.

 

A statement on the FA's web site, dated March 10 2004, read: "Should Arsenal or Chelsea win the Champions League, they will automatically qualify for next season's competition, but England will not gain an extra Champions League place, even if they finish outside of the top four in the Premiership. In that scenario, the fourth-placed team in the Premiership will play in next season's Uefa Cup."

 

The statement was removed this morning - however, it can still be viewed here [dead link]. When contacted by Guardian Unlimited, the FA said it is composing an official reaction to today's revelation.

I’m actually disgusted that this hasn’t been dealt with yet. I’m all for thorough investigation, but this has been an age. The fuck is going on? It’s amateur hour.

[Lee909]

As Col has said

They wanted the season ended and the world cup to start so they can release a small statement saying no evidence and not be accused of ignoring 'racism'

[lifetime fan]

And someone’s reputation is left to be questioned whilst the FA do fuck all.

Some lids had a few too many Sagres tops at the Porto game and sang a song about Mo Salah scoring so many goals they'd become muslim and sit in a mosque etc.  It has captured the hearts of a nation

[Trumo]

If indeed the FA are trying to sweep it under the carpet, then there is still the matter of Holgate's actions that kicked things off. If Holgate gets away it, then all those players charged with violent conduct for infractions that were far more trivial would be well without their rights to question their punishment.

 

I remember reading an article about when Hungary beat England 6-3 at Wembley in the 1950s. Puskas scored a goal after wrong-footing the England defence and the reporter described the defence as "a fire engine going to the wrong fire". That phrase aptly describes the way the FA usually handle things.

Although cringe worthy, it's hardly offensive in my view. In a western world which is growing towards anti-muslim swaying, it's a bit tongue in cheek to say "if he keeps playing like this, I'll convert to Islam". Silly and harmless, IMO. Apart from the cringe.

[Jockey]

Never underestimate the cringe! We'll be serving hummus and celery at the game soon!.

 

Fucking libtards!

[El Dangerous]

If we can piss off the Daily Mail readers and the bitters in one go I'm all for it.

Holgates push on Firmino is surely violent conduct as I think (may be wrong) it took place totally off the pitch so can't really be deemed foul play....

 

He had already stopped challenging for ball and the push was a totally new motion and clearly pre meditated as they ran off pitch.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

He plays as a False Racist.

Plus it happened before the alleged verbal assault so in any case should be treated separately.

I'd try him out as a wing bigot.
