Everton issues statement of support towards James Tarkowski following death threats and social media abuse

Like to come across as the most amazing loveable crowd on earth but really it's just a nasty spiteful blood baying circus of hatred.

Crime sheet over the years as long as an elephant's cock, that's both their players and the support.

Game, set and match Mrs Tarkowski

As I saw a comment elsewhere, the RS had a banner saying "We built this city", far more appropriate is "We shamed this city".

Right now the calls for a red are based on the claim that Tarks meant it- thought crime can hardly be proven- or that it is apparently possible, despite the pace that football is played, for a big clearance to be made with an abbreviated follow through. Maybe but that seems a stretch and maybe McAllister, surely knowing he was getting nowhere near the ball, might not have insisted on putting himself in the line of fire. Or maybe he misjudged.

Either way, death threats are a despicable thing to make, by despicable people and I agree LFC should waste no time in condemning those of their own who behave like this.

The lad has won everything at that club, come from the academy and at his age has a right to move to a vastly superior club in a vastly superior city (I mean playing your footy off Walton Breck Road or Madrid, come on) in a vastly superior weather climate.

Yet no doubt when he leaves there will be effigies of him burning in streets and his house here will have been burgled and burnt out.

The media are terrified of upsetting them, it's not so much as a bias as a fear so they just go along with everything that is pro Liverpool and anti everyone else.

Nowhere near as bad as Steven Gerrard and his hip high lunge on Kev Campbell (RIP big man) or his cowardly two footed lunge on a Gary Naismith in 2002.

Or Suarez raking his studs down Sylvain Dustin's Achilles tendon in 2012 at Goodison or Kuyt trying to Bruce Lee Phil Neville in the Clattenburg derby of 2007.

Kopites will obviously always have amnesia on these incidents like all their past misdemeanors.

What a wonderfully poised and admirable response from wife, mother, and all-round human being Samantha.

We sometimes forget how much better, smarter, and more beautiful our wives are compared to their cheap and classless WAG slags.

They have a wide range of supporters who probably do not even know where the team play, but are all capable nasty keyboard warriors.

But never alone Rob 😆😆🤣💙👺👹

Bloody hell Paul I thought that was going to be a picture of the stunning Mrs Tarkowski

Nothing. Absolute scummy silence.

All that came up was: "Everton condemn ... "

Well, I think the red club and supporters have definitively nailed that one. They may have temporary form, but they certainly have no class.

And on the tackle, I thought the post match encounter between Tarkowski and Mac Allister put it properly in context when Tarkowski obviously said he'd got it a bit wrong and Mac Allister smiled and accepted the apology, clearly recognising that that's how football sometimes goes and that no malice was intended.

Mac Allister went up somewhat in my opinion when I saw that. Unlike the Gobshite fans.

Move on from this nonsense.

The world's full of them.

Imagine if it was yours.

The dickheads that did it were probably pissed and forgot what they did the next day.

Ah well, there's always tomorrow. Scum — no other words.

Fans moaning on a forum does nothing.

Is it not a place to have your say?

Get over there and discuss that.

"They are all scum" — total fucking nonsense. I know plenty of Red Shite fans who are perfectly nice people.

Don't forget Soldier Field in July.

I'm home and getting ready for the match. I've said all I can about Wednesday.

2-1 to us (Beto will not score).

It is another symptom of the vile plague that seems to exist within that club and shared by its followers, and Danny (#4) puts it more succinctly than I.

Likewise, Christine (#7) who spotlights the complete lack of dignity that has been absent within that club for many years.

So anyone being surprised by their failure to condemn their latest in a catalogue of vile behaviour, only has to recall John Smith's statement post-Heysel. Their followers are merely continuing the unacceptable behaviour that was condoned by their club a number of years ago.

Any self-respecting red would disown this, the silence is truly deafening isn't it...

I'd rather walk alone thanks.

John Smith: "The ground was not good enough for an ordinary match, let alone a final … "

John Smith: "The Heysel troublemakers were actually National Front supporters, probably from London, and that a shot had been fired before the worst part of the riot."

John Smith: "I was approached by six NF supporters who he said professed themselves “delighted with the death and destruction of Heysel … They were boasting they had caused the trouble that evening and seemed pleased with their actions … [they claimed to be] the National Front, from Chelsea. They led Liverpool fans into something they wouldn't usually get involved in".

“Smith was a man of values and integrity” (liverpool-kop.com)

Peter Robinson: “I certainly cannot condone the behaviour of some Liverpool fans but there are questions which need to be asked … The fence erected to divide the fans was flimsy affair, and there appeared to be no police presence between the fans. Whole sections of the concrete wall at the rear of the trouble spot had been removed allowing people to flood in. And it would appear no-one was frisked as the police found literally hundreds of bottles afterwards. More security could and should have been taken.”

Liverpool Liberal Councillor Peter Red Shite Millea (to the Echo): "I met a contingent of skinheads wearing Union Jack T-shirts and speaking with cockney accents."

Lest we forget:

Bruno Guarini: “They came running at us through the fence [my son] Alberto was caught against a barrier. His last words were ‘Papa, mi stanno schiaccando' – Daddy, they're crushing me”. Guarini lost consciousness, but when he came to he insisted that the Red Cross join him to search for his son. They found him, lifeless.

Bruno Guarini: “we thought their fans would be like us, just crazy about football.”

The sweeping negative generalisations and the endless ‘whataboutery' TW has been swamped with since Wednesday night is just what we detest in others (them especially) and rightly call them out for.

Andrew (46), have you actually spoken to anyone who is denying the death threats are despicable?

PGMOL hasn't helped in all this. And I notice they didn't mention the offside in the build-up to the goal. One-eyed gits.

As the commentary team said "It looks worse every time you see it". After the fifth replay.

Just banging on and on about it has made the worst of the ‘most knowledgeable fans in football’ go ape and wet their knickers as usual.

On another day it might have been a red card, on that day it wasn’t, same as offside, handball, ‘contact’ in the box etc etc.

Good on Mrs.T, ‘It’s not passion it’s pathetic.’ sums up the situation.

And the endless drivel from media pundits adds absolutely nothing to the sport.

Next week ‘Salah felt the contact (from an earthworm) so he deserves the right to go down in the box’, this week ‘ohhh that was reckless, Tarks doesn’t have the right to firmly clear that ball, he should go in like a pussy and let MacAllister have the ball’

It’s all a bit pathetic.

I know it's a passionate game but come on, it's beyond comprehension how some people get so angry and vile.

Social media has a lot to answer for, I give it a wide berth.

We always have one Pre-Season friendly at home.

My vote, to commemorate that fateful day 40 years ago, that we ask Juventus. The Old Lady of clubs to mark the end of our time playing at the Old Lady of grounds.

Maybe a wreath to mark the death of our Old Lady and also to remember the 39 killed 40 years earlier.

In my opinion, anonymous comments have made society a lot worse.

I saw Arsenal presented Everton with a framed Arsenal shirt with the dates of their first visit to Goodison in 1905 and Saturday's date.

A small, but nice gesture from a very professional, well run and classy club.

I wouldn't have expected that from our neighbours, so I'm not bothered.

They air brush Heysels with shameless arrogance. Gloss it over at best.

I'm not sure about Hillsborough. There were too many mistakes and factors that led to that tradgedy to single them out. And the cover up that followed was a traversty of justice. We have been more supportive to them than any, but they conveniently forget that when it suits.

At the recent derby, they were taunting us with the usual "you haven't won a trophy since 1996". Banter. The response was (to the same tune) "you haven't killed an Italian since 1985". Not all but pockets. I guess that could be considered distasteful, emotions do run high. Especially now.

Yes, the FA, the police, Ambulance service and ridiculous fencing regulations and failure by those pitchside to open the gates were all guilty of crimes. Despite Hysel, it showed Red Shite are amoral and feral. Decades later, they still are.
They make my blood boil and need for wearing my rarely donned angry trousers!

Hillsborough is an tragedy that effected the city. By and large we have shown them nothing but empathy.

Back in 2009, at the semi final against Manchester United. I had a ticket, but gave it to my son. Once me and his mum saw him into Wembley, we found a pub nearby to watch on the tele.

We sat down to be joined by a few United supporters who we sat with. They were mostly okay, but at some point started chanting derogatory Hillsborough chants. God knows why. I had a word, only to receive a dig in the ribs from the wife and told to stop it.

Unbeknown to me, there was a table of Evertonians across. One, on his own approached them and with a close up finger in face told them in no uncertain terms to pack it in or . you can guess the rest and the language was a bit more colourful than that.

After the match we were met by my son saying best experience ever and my youngest brother, who'd had a few, screaming "one Jagielka" in my face. Reference to our many debates, with me not rating Jagielka as highly as he did.

Seeing as you ask, let's examine your post 65 which includes the phrase 'I'm not sure about Hillsborough'. Have you even the remotest idea how utterly offensive those words are? 'Not sure' about what exactly?

About who you, in your infinite wisdom, apportion the blame to? Would you like to clarify exactly what you are 'not sure' about?

What I am sure about is how deeply offensive those words are to the many blues and reds alike still affected by the tragedy, including many of my friends and family.

It didn't help, that alleged allocations were made at the time that it was the authorities, the Belgian FA, the police, the stadium, Juventus supporters for provoking them and even Chelsea supporters were to blame.

Now a lot of that may be true and contributing factors, without doubt. I am not sure about the Chelsea claim. Is that just urban myth? Either way, that's where "it's never your fault" originated to my memory and it bears no reference to Hillsborough. It just gets taken that way by them.

Likewise, their airbrushing of it from history is fuelled by the fact (yes fact), that it wasn't mentioned officially by them until 15 years after the event.

So no, victims is not about Hillsborough. It's about many other things that they do, which makes them extremely disliked by supporters across the country. They shamed football, they shamed our city and then proceeded to deflect blame for their part in the tragedy.

It has also given rise to the chants of "self-pity city", which the Manchester clubs like to use and we get tagged with.

Either way, their supporters.
