Amateur lip readers online saying it looked more like "are you crazy you son of a whore/bitch"
He definitely said that. The bit that Holgate reacted to was afterwards - when an Everton player’s head was blocking the view of the camera. If Firmino did say anything else he was pretty close to the ref when he did so.

It looked to me like Firmino shouted "puta" to Holgate's face

He does say filha de puta but holgate doesn’t react to that, he reacts few seconds after when firmino mouths the word “negro”, you can’t see it clearly because of stupid jonjo Kenny’s head pic.twitter.com/5UQUB2BvSK— ! (@ThibautSave) January 5, 2018
Obvs no way to know what he said when Kenny’s noggin was blocking the view but that seems to be what he reacted to, unless he took a bit of time to translate the previous insult.

Why, among US sports, is American Football the one that's always pushed on the frankly uninterested UK populace? Basketball would have a lot more potential, being the least prolix of the big three. Something to do with broadcast rights?

At the weekend, one of Depay's former United team-mates, Wayne Rooney, revealed a failed attempt to help the Dutchman ingratiate himself at the club."He came on at Stoke away and messed up for their goal so (manager) Louis van Gaal made him play for the reserves the next day," said Rooney, who now plays for Major League Soccer franchise DC United."I said, 'Look, it's a bit difficult [for you]. Just don't come in with all your fancy stuff.'"And he turned up for the reserve game in his Rolls-Royce, wearing a leather jacket and a cowboy hat. And I just thought, 'What's the point?'

revive worthwhile for bringing to my attention the following run of posts
has there ever been a player with more bullshit behind him? i know gerrard, lampard, other english players, but the idea that rooney is some sort of leader who could shake up arsenal is beyond belief.
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Thursday, February 23, 2017 10:50 PM (two years ago) bookmarkflaglink
He's a million miles away from Lampard, Gerrard, Ferdinand or any of those in terms of myth vs reality vs salary vs harnessing an entire footballing infrastructure around.
A million miles. Each of the above was a player that significantly improved the teams they played for consistently throughout their long careers. Everything United or England have done since Rooney became their completely white hope has been despite the heaving infection.

I'm not a football fan, but when I think of Wayne Rooney I always remember the plan to make a five-volume autobiography of Wayne Rooney, because ghostwritten football autobiographies were so hot back in 2006:https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2006/mar/10/books.bookscomment
"Everyone knows Wayne Rooney has a way with words. Usually very short ones, consisting mainly of asterisks, like this recent verbal sally aimed at a Premiership referee and faithfully recorded by the tabloids: "You f***ing t*** ... you're a f***ing disgrace."
Computer screens were really narrow in 2006. Rooney was apparently given a £5m advance. This was back when the biggest-selling author in the UK was Katie Price. The joke at the time was that he was only 20, but that didn't seem particularly bad, and I imagine that nowadays there's easily enough material for half a million words about Wayne Rooney. His story is the story of Britain in the early twenty-first century, and also the 1960s, because I always felt there was something 1960s about him ("local boy done good", that kind of thing).
"Rooney's deal comes a day after Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, signed a $9m (£5.2m) deal with Penguin for his memoirs. That deal eclipsed Pope John Paul II's $8.5m for Crossing the Threshold of Hope in 1994, but remained behind the $12m Bill Clinton is rumoured to have received for his memoirs."
I don't know if the moderators can see it, but notice how I put the italic tags inside the quote marks. Because the quote marks aren't part of the quote, they define the quote. The words are italic, not the quote marks. I may not have progressed to CSS and Javascript etc but I do know how to write clean HTML. If anybody needs someone who can add italic tags to blocks of text, email me and we can come to a deal.
It seems that one volume came out later the same year, My Story So Far, but four years on the whole thing was scrapped because England did poorly in a bunch of international tournaments. It was ghostwritten by Hunter Davies OBE, who also went on to ghostwrite John Prescott's autobiography, Prezza, My Story: Pulling no Punches. "And then I hit him" probably features in both books.
