FA Cup 2017-18

The push alone was a yellow surely, let alone the handbags afterwards.

Asking Jon Moss for refereeing advice is like asking Hitler about human rights.

Good refereeing though. And didn't ruin it by sending one off

Good refereeing? Ball had gone out of play and Holgate shoves Firmino over the advertising boards and into the stands, could have really injured him. Red for that, and yellow for Firmino for reacting.

lallana's hair ffs.

Possibly a racist comment there by Firmino? It’s the only reason I can think of why Holgate would lose it like he did

He calmed it down superbly but ffs it's a local derby, not everything is a booking 

 

I do think it is a yellow though

That was my first thought too, something really riled him up, be interesting to see if anything comes out after the game.

 

Holgate was going mad asking if the ref heard something.

[fazzyfox]

Madley reaching new levels of poor, a push into crowd which endangered safety of player - no action, a player putting his hands on ref - no action, well it's a derby and all that nonsense, how about applying the rules? Should have been two yellows for Holgate but gets nothing. Players are to blame for the nonsense but the F.A.'s appointment and Madleys lack of action are again leading to an incorrect outcome.

Agree

 

I think Madley would be a lot better off if they kept him out the limelight for a bit, allow him to gain some confidence back. He's clearly not cut out for the big games yet for some reason he keeps getting them, with pressure mounting on him every time he's put infront of the TV cameras. 

 

Christ I actually think I feel sorry for him

I hope we've never considered Allardyce as manager. If you can't go for it in the FA Cup 3rd Round, when can you?

[Otis]

Another example of refs not following their own rules.

No I understand harsher tackles and the sort in this kind of game, more leniency across the board. But Holgate was embarrassed about being tackled like that and lost it, and could have injured Firmino with the ball out of play. That's not cricket

 

Can't remember who it was but someone shoved Vardy into a camera stand in a similar incident a few years ago and it was amazing that Vardy wasn't hurt at the pace he was going. Have no time for that sort of thing

[fazzyfox]

Tried to lip-read Firminho, I'm not an expert, started well but then went a bit odd, what I got was "Your mum's a whore, lemon cheesecake"?????

Yeah I agree. Proper snidey thing to do. Like when strikers push the defender into their goalkeeper when chasing back to goal

I do think it was a yellow. I've just edited my post.

 

Firminho must have said something for the reaction after but yeah I agree about Holgate in the first place.

[NewEnglandFox]

Derby are putting up a good fight the one time Man U aren't on TV for you guys.

looked like Firmino said '....puta' which can be quite offensive in Spanish/Portuguese. No wonder Holgate has reacted like he did. Surprised Madley's not heard it or if he has, he's absolutely bottled it. 

 

Well, he bottled it anyway by not booking either.

That’s prostite in Spanish isn’t it. Can’t see him reacting like that.

Holgate appears to say "He just fvcking called me a  n****r"

Hijo de Puta?

 

Round Holgate's way, they don't like a Mam-joke, obviously.

Why would you react like that to being called a whore in a different language?

There’s no way he used the N word. Don’t need to be a lip reading expert to see that
