The wife of Everton defender James Tarkowski has hit back at death threats against him and his family after he was sent off by fans who were unhappy with his move to Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister early in
Wednesday’s Merseyside derby, with the referee’s body admitting the 32-year-old centre-back was wrong to show the defender a straight red card.
Speaking after the Toffees’ 1-0 defeat, Tarkowski revealed he had apologised,โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที and Mac Allister had accepted the charges, but the backlash from fans has yet to abate.
“I’m not going to say anything because normally we just laugh it off,” the player’s wife, Samantha Tarkowski, posted on her Instagram Stories. “
But the level of abuse my husband is receiving is beyond disgusting. The death threats, the vile comments he has made about me and my family. “
People forget that James is more than just a footballer. He’s a husband, a brother, a friend and, most importantly, a father of two. “
James goes out on the pitch and does his job. He’s brilliant at that. But then he became the target of hate speech. For those who think James intentionally hurt opponents, do you really think that? “
Football moves at high speed and tackles are split-second decisions. No player wants to hurt an opponent. Do you think he would feel good doing that?”
“But all the hate speech and threats? That was intentional. The actions of someone who calls themselves a fan is a disgrace. “
It’s not passion and it’s pathetic. We are real people. What’s happening is beyond football.”
