    Interesting that a few people are jumping to defend Holgate's homophobia saying "don't go looking into the past for crimes everyone has forgotten" <laugh> same people are probably about to be #exposed in sexual abuse or other scandals

    Saw Ollie Holt jumping on that one. Arguing it would never have been found if he hadn't been allegedly racially abused. Na Ollie...it would never have been found if he'd never wrote it on a public platform and left it there for 5 years....

    Personally I'd have dismissed it as young lads banter myself.

    Unfortunately, once you've put yourself on a moral pedestal (the fa) then you have to be consistent. Can't be seen to support one minority social group and not another....

    Being abused isn’t putting yourself on a moral pedestal.

    That ball clearly didn't go over the line there...even though cameras showed it did Welbecks reaction to the ref clearly showed he genuinely believed it didn't.. ..so it mustn't have right?

    Not sure anyone is defnding Holgates comments, general gist seems to be it is in the past and he was a minor. What he could do is speak out and say yes my comments were wrong and immature and the fa should accept that. We need to stop blowing everything out of proportion.
    This incident is far bigger than lfc vs everton and needs to be handled correctly. As said by loads on numerous occasions already the media are the ones who should be being hung out to dry here. Sam played it right. Common sense needs to prevail here.

    The FA certainly go looking into the past for crimes. Doesn't matter what we all think.. if I may quote David O'Leary "at the end of the day, emm at the end of the day, at the end of the day , at the end of the day" :D

    Are the FA still mulling over this? Listening to a recording, how hard can it be, or are they looking for the "right lip reader" :D

    I keep asking if there is any proof the FA are looking into it, has a real complaint been made?
    There has been no mention of it at all on Sky, BBC or ESPN web sites, the only place i see it mentioned is on here.

    I'm not sure the Guardian would report it if they weren't would they?

    The FA have got the Jrod / Bong one to investigate now too.

    After it happened the anticipation of the media for a scandal was tangible, you could have spread it on your toast :D
    Strange that they would just drop it if there was an ongoing saga.

    One has to admit there is a lot of racism witch hunting going on.

    The Spartak thing for example, club and players involved all say no racism, but apparently they don't get to make the call, FIFA and that moron Ouseley do lol

    The media dropped it quickly because it became powerfully obvious there wasn't a shred of evidence against Firmino

    The FA are a #joke if they had proper procedures they could just follow them but they just make things up as they go along and now are stuck not knowing what result to make up
