CORRY SO SORRY FOR WIFE’S VILE RACIST RANT AT REFEREE

CORRY EVANS apologised last night after his wife launched a foul-mouthed, racist rant at referee Ovidiu Hategan.

The Romanian gave a penalty for handball against the Northern Ireland midfielder (right) and then booked him in Thursday’s World Cup play-off defeat by Switzerland.

Lisa Evans was so incensed she savaged Hategan on social media –

tweeting: “Romanian gypsy c***!!! And to actually think Northern Ireland has probably homed one of his smelly relatives!! Ungrateful t***!! Anyway onwards and upwards. #GAWA.” The decision by Hategan (left) after a Xherdan Shaqiri shot struck Blackburn’s Evans on the back, handed the Swiss their 1-0 win – and the booking means Corry is suspended for tomorrow’s second leg in Basel. He said: “On behalf of my wife, I would like to apologise unreservedly for the content and language contained in the tweet.” And Lisa Corry said: “I would like to sincerely apologise to anyone I offended for the language contained in my tweet. I would never condone racism in any way.”
