100% and wouldn’t disagree in terms of what the club can do in scope, but the club also has a legal responsibility to the player as an employee to condemn and offer support. I think statements like this are purposefully worded.

I’m almost sure we had something similar word for word a couple of months back and seems a stock reaponse, prob as evidence to show its meeting its legal requirement.

Hopefully they are offering the practical support as well behind the statement.
Hopefully mate. Can’t be pleasant having thousands of absolute orcs hurling abuse at you on social media
 

I’m really sick of this MUSTN’T HAVE A POP AT THE FANS thing tbh. If even was a dig at the fans it was such a tiny one that you’d have to be an unbelievable snowflake to do anything other than shrug your shoulders or maybe raise a quizzical eyebrow. But these keyboard tough guys are always the most sensitive to the slightest hint of something being sent their way.

Obviously the fella sending these messages is the problem here.

It's a massive OTT response to any perceived offense given by her very tongue in cheek dig at the support.

Exactly. Ashamed of some of our fan base. I'm so angry.

Mate, I completely agree! I wasn’t agitated by it in the slightest, so please don’t think I condone this! I don’t! I’ve been clear on that.

But there are some very angry/ weird human beings out there. And for that reason there’s no point in even risking it is there?

I think that’s the general gist of what people are saying aren’t they?

No form of abuse is EVER acceptable, but any form of celeb, doesn’t have to be exclusive to footy, get a-lot of media training etc. it’s just never worth it.

It’s sad that it’s come do this, but here we are. We live amongst some absolute wronguns , who sadly will go after people, no matter how minor it is.

Anyone would get the same after having a pop at Elon Musk on Twitter these days. It doesn't take much to set these angry people with too much time off.

Psychos are everywhere on Social Media and when you let people send you messages or respond to posts you can't do anything but hope you aren't bringing yourself attention from these people.

It's by no means a sleight on every blue because one or two of them happen to support us. Every club has them.

It's unfortunate and the club has to do its part and condemn it but at the end of the day what can be done about those types of people? Any racist abuse she's received should be passed on for investigation and that's the end of it.
 
No excuse for racism ever

Absolutely ruined any chance of him having a good send off, regardless of ups and downs in his career he's been at Everton since he was in his late teens/early twenties. Scored some historic goals.

Expect this behaviour from RS fans, heartbreaking seeing Toffees be racist and making death threats

Collectively as fans we owe him a massive sorry for this


Proof that Everton fans have racially abused them.

They two screenshots of direct messages she's posted are from brand new no name accounts, there is zero public information to show they are from an Everton fans.

To be fair, I can't imagine they'd be from anyone else. I'm of the view that a footballer is fair game to be called crap, especially if they are on social media. Talking to their missus and threatening her is just weird, though.

It's possible they aren't Everton fans but a) does it even really matter and b) we've undoubtedly got plenty of fans who definitely would say stuff like that, even if they haven't in this particular instance.
 
Which is my point .
If you are triggered by what she said then im afraid you have issues
I agree!

To be honest I haven’t even read what she’s been sent, but I knew it was obviously bad going by our statement & the comments I’ve seen in here.

It’s grotesque. Hopefully they catch who ever it is.
 
Ladies (or gents) out there - please, please, don't fight your other halves corner. If he/she is in the spotlight as an accomplished individual - sporting or otherwise - it simply demeans your better half as a person. They can and should be capable of fighting their own battles. And it just leaves both of you - and your families - open to ridicule and the abhorrent behaviour of an extremely small-minded minority of individuals who lead a shallow and introspective existence.

No person needs to be the subject of such behaviour but the world is, unfortunately, full of keyboard agitators nowadays looking to express their own shortcomings on others.
