The wife of James Tarkowski condemned “vile” abuses wishing death to her husband after her horror tackle on Alexis Mac Allister in the Merseyside derby.
Captain of Everton escaped a red card after having planted his boot in the calf of the Liverpool midfielder after an authorization in the first exchanges of the heated luminaire.
The 32 -year -old man received prudence from referee Sam Barrott for the action, while Var Paul Tierney quickly decided that he was neither worthy of a red card, nor a second glance via the pitch instructor.
A few minutes later, the Premier League published a statement that only added to confusion. In this document, they seemed to defend the decision despite conceding that Tarkowski had committed “an reckless fault”. PGMOL – The organ director of the referee for the English game – then admitted that English should have been rejected for the challenge.
Tarkowski seemed to apologize to Mac Allister after the final whistle, but according to his wife Samantha, that did not prevent commentators on social networks from aiming “disgusting” their path.
“I was not really going to say anything because we generally laugh if we were but the F ***,” she wrote in a statement on Instagram. “The level of abuse that my husband receives – wishing death on him, comments from Vils on me, on us as a couple, and on him as a person – is more disgusting.

“People forget that he is more than a simple footballer. He is a husband, a father, a brother, a friend and above all, the father of our two children.
“He goes there and does his job and does it very well, however, he is subject to so much hatred. For those who act as if he had deliberately decided to injure someone – RU seriously?!
“Football moves at high speed and plated are divided decisions. No player will hurt someone and think that a player would feel good about it if he did it?
“But the pure messages s ***, the threats?” It is intentional. It’s on you. Football is a sport, but the way some so-called “fans” behave is shameful.
“Abuse, threats – it’s not passion, it’s pathetic. We are real people, and it goes far beyond football.
The challenge had generated indignation at the time, with Jamie Carragher incandescent in the Sky Sports Studio during the coverage of the player’s game, before expressing his shock that the referee had not sent Tarkowski.
“In terms of arbitration. Barrott is in a brilliant position, “Carragher has smoked. “He must see this” is a shocking tackle, we know that it should be a red card. For Tierney, not to give it on Var is shocking.
The former Everton Duncan Ferguson striker agreed with Carragher, admitting that his former team should have been reduced to 10 men.

Ferguson said: “There is no argument, straight red. He knows what he is doing. He came through him – it could have been a leg breaker.
“Perhaps the referee … He’s his first derby, he should have taken him to the instructor.”
Gary Neville expressed a similar belief on Tarkowski’s challenge on comments.
“It is a potential circuit breaker,” exclaimed Neville. “I think he is very lucky there Tarkowski. There will be those who will say that it is a natural follow -up.
“Trust me as a defender, you don’t need to follow like that and with such strength and it’s high. Very lucky.
In addition to his apologies to Macallister, Tarkowski admitted that his challenge was “not great”.
The defender, who marked a late dramatic equalizer when the teams met at Goodison Park in February, equaled a first League record by becoming the largest recipient of yellow cards in the history of the division without seeing the red (63).
“It’s not a big challenge,” he told Optus Sport. “I told him about it and apologized because it is not an excellent tackle.

“ When the ball fell between us, I thought he was just coming and I expected a big tackle at the old school 50-50, but he just took out the tackle and as I rushed, I followed him and I caught him high enough so I apologized to him and he accepted it.
“Yeah, not a big one.
Liverpool finally succeeded 1-0 winner in the derby and restored his 12-point lead to the top of the Premier League while they gallop for a 10th record title.
Everton, on the other hand, is 14 points away from the fall zone despite his first championship defeat since the return of David Moyes to the club in January.
