I didnt see the event meself, did he actually throw it after Boomerang went to celebrate or before?
Shouldn't throw anything but shapes at a football match anyhoo, but the lifetime ban was a bit much imo, 2 3 seasons would be a heavy punishment, life was unfair, and it was just life because racism was alleged.
The racism thing in football now is "He's a witch" and the accused has to prove a negative, which is impossible. Firmino didn't even say anything that could even be remotely misconstrued as racist, yet it hung over his head for months and he had to miss games, punished for nothing essentially, Holgate Might have thought he heard something but he still essentially said "He's a witch", only now, the accused is not drowned to see if they are a witch or not.
