That should be the headline but the woke, PC gone mad brigade will say he was well within his "human rights" to kick the little scouse git who was taunting him.

He will just have to go on Saint and Greavesie and give him a kiss.
Running on to the pitch to celebrate with your players, fine, I get that. But running on and going straight to taunting the opposition, you’re asking for trouble. After what happened to Billy Sharpe too.
Not great by the young lad but shouting "Yessss your not very good, f@#k off!" Is nowhere near as bad are some were predicting. Doubt anything will happen but some action should be taken against Viera.
Not condoning it at all but why did he walk onto the pitch? Surely it was obvious that Everton fans would be on there. There was no need for him to be on there.
Viera should have kicked him harder, and should be praised for being so restrained. If you go up to someone, shout in their face and act in a threatening manner, then you should expect the consequences. Well done Patrick, you've gone up in my estimation despite being a Palace tosser.

Agree. 100% deserved.
‘What was he doing on the pitch?’ is just victim blaming.
I was hoping this was true but then saw it was in Fun, Jokes and Captions. Can see a bigger fine for Everton for this, but Viera's not proper Palace - that sort of taunting would have seen an Oscar class dive and probably a penalty awarded if it was Zaha
Very difficult topic given the events of recent weeks with that Forest fan assaulting Sharpe at Sheff Utd. Not sure if any of you have seen the Ollie McBurnie clip from the same game. McBurnie full on kicking a Forest fan when they were on the floor, a lot worse than Vieira’s sweep of the leg.
The funniest thing about this apart from the fan getting what he deserved, was seeing a few others confront Vieira then quickly realise he's 6ft 4 and they run off.
I just don't get why when your team has avoided relegation your first thought is to run on and stick your phone in the opposition managers face whilst screaming at him. You didn't send Palace down, or knock them out of a cup. the result doesn't mean anything to them, they're not a rival club and they're above you in the table.

Footballs a funny game. Anyway what would you or your firm do if someone came to your place of work and got in your face screaming you're not very good fuck off?

I think my boss would be commended for giving me the honest feedback that I need.

because the away team changing rooms are now on the opposite side of the ground from the dug outs.
Haha brilliant. You run on the pitch like that then expect anything and everything coming your way. The fact he decked a scouser as well, I’d give him manager of the month.

As a firefighter it happens a lot more than you think, people that don't want us to put things out or youths that think it is funny to throw things and act up. If we even raise our voices let alone respond with aggression we would be suspended at the very least, but likely sacked.
I don't condone the supporter's actions but Viera has to be punished as otherwise it would make the next pitch invasion a bit tasty.
I can see draconian rules coming in for pitch invasions, as there have been some grim scenes this week,
When thousands run onto the pitch, there's no chance that everyone will be sensible and let the opposition players and staff depart quietly, there will always be some who take it too far. That's why we sadly have to have segregation in the stands.
- You win an FA Cup game at home against a team at least three divisions higher than you - You get promoted - You avoid relegation from an almost impossible position (so, not Everton)

Anything else is tinpot
So our one in the SF game against Doncaster was "tinpot"?
Not condoning it at all but why did he walk onto the pitch? Surely it was obvious that Everton fans would be on there. There was no need for him to be on there.
I believe the way Goodison is set up at the moment his exit was across on the other side from him. He could have tried creeping round the edges I guess, but why would he feel like he needed to do that?
This is the third pitch invasion in a week and they've all had some amount of violence between players and fans. Billy Sharp was violently assaulted, Oli McBurnie is being called before the FA because it looks like he stamped on someone, Swindon players were attacked by Port Vale fans last night and Vieira has swatted some little gobshite away from him as well. I just don't understand the mentality of it. Pitch invasions feel less spontaneous now and more something people are planning to do in likely circumstances, and I guess that means you get fewer expressions of pure happiness as a result and more people on the pitch because they want to be on the pitch behaving like themselves, and often they're arseholes. I've never understood the people who whose first instinct when their team scores is to start making wanker signs at the opposition fans instead of actually celebrating the goal, and frankly if those people are forgetting that they're not protected by stewards and nets when they're on the pitch and getting clouted then excellent, but you can't have players and staff being attacked. It's absolutely ridiculous, and if it gets put on social media then it will happen more and more. That's why you can't watch an England match outside anymore without getting covered in beer, people are just waiting to do the thing they saw on the internet.
Football fans always get the harshest treatment - 5 year bans for being caught with cocaine at a game as if there isn't some wider societal issue to address - and if these idiots aren't careful something will be done to make it harder to get on the pitch, and that will come at a cost to atmosphere

Good balance for the kid to not fall off
Wonder what got said for Vieira to kick out at home, again the video only provides so much information.
25 point deduction
