£300k fine for Goodison pitch invasion (vs palace)

[Davideeyore]

We should change our motto to Millwall's "no one likes us we don't care".

I'm not cynical.

 

[blulouie]

I bet that's as much because Viera had the incident with the fan as it is the invasion itself.

Did he get charged with assault ?

 

[blulouie]

Fight it you spineless gets.

 

[Alan Whittle]

When is Vieira getting fined for kicking a teenage Everton fan?

@davek If he had been fined you have been moaning about the leniency of that and insisting he be marched down Walton Road and pelted with rocks.
......And then you’d have moaned about the size of the rocks!

He should have been on an assault charge.

Anyone does that in everyday life would be.

The teenager goaded him but never threatened him. Vieira kicked him and tried to kick him again. He had safe passage across that pitch and reacted because he's a big 'kin child himself who couldnt stand getting beat.

I have no idea why you're defending a grown man attacking a teenager. Maybe you can explain?

Ha! We get beat most weeks and he never does that.
Show me where I defended him? As if he needed defending.

 

[Goat]

Weren't we warned after the Villa incident about future fan behaviour. Think this maybe an accumulation thing rather than for the pitch invasion on its own

This.

We showed we cant learn, hence the massive fine.

You implied it.

Vieira got away with that. The media - surprise surprise - framed his assualt as being self-defence. Basically, they turned up on the night expecting and relishing that Everton woud be beaten and that we'd be almost relegated - and they didn't get their way. Then they lashed out at a very understandable pitch invasion.

 

[Toffeelover]

What a joke.

 

[Shevin Keedy]

What a joke.

Perhaps it'll learn you to keep off the pitch in future you hooligan.

What we agree on is that the pitch invasion was very understandable as well as joyful and mostly harmless.
The rest, I hope we can agree to differ.

Hold on, last time I was on the pitch was way back in the 80s I think.

Yet again the match going fans ruin it for the rest of us

Should charge each invader a tenner; that'd cover it
