I laughed so hard when I read he made the inquiry with good faith. You just knew FA were going to pull this under the rug and expect everyone to forget. A joke of a federation. Holgate should be banned for 3 games minimum for his red card offence. The FA do not ban players unless missed by the referee, but yes he should have been red carded in the game.

You can accuse to your hearts content knowing nothing will happen to the accuser!
This is the problem with the modern world. Then the accused has to defend themselves and prove that they didn't do anything whilst having a black mark against them and their character. It's better than it was when Back men couldn't play or use the same bathroom or ride the same coach. And there's no black mark against firmino. He's been cleared. No harm done. So if someone accused you of racist language, you'd be perfectly happy to have that hanging over you whilst an investigation took place? Then, when found not guilty, because you didn't do anything, you'd be happy with the accuser going free? Ridiculous.

I won't be happy ,however, for me a sanction or not should depend if the accuser did it in bad faith or not and I suppose it's for the panel to judge that as well.

Firmino is fair game now to any team / player wanting to get an unfair advantage. He has a cloud over him now and Holgate has paved the way for getting away with a cynical dangerous action by throwing a racism accusation to distract the referee from his own despicable action.
The FA should have retrospectively banned Holgate, what he did was downright dangerous not just for Firmino but to anybody near by in the crowd. If I were anywhere near, where Firmino was launched by Holgate in that crowd, I'd be contacting The Police.
There is definitely harm done over this, just a matter of time before somebody else has a go.

The modern professional footballer doesn't give a shhhite about etiquette on the pitch, if there is a way to con a ref into a decision going their teams way, they'll do it. Firmino and probably other players will have to put up with more of this until The FA maybe even FIFA start taking action against the wolf callers.

TBH I was surprised Evra didn't try it on when we played West Ham...one more and he'd have filled his greenshield stamp card!
