the lad who got kicked would have a good case if he decided to sue Viera. the media are as low as you could ever go, they are masters of manipulation, they control the narrative and they persistently undermine anything meaningful or worthwhile. they persistently go on the attack against anything Everton, doubling down so we are continually on the defensive. Viera had walked over half way across the pitch without incident and had no cause whatsoever to assault that kid, who had already turned away. Viera decided to be all brave when the kid turned his back to carry on celebrating but the media arent interested because it doesnt suit their agenda. going by their rules i should be able to smash stevie starfishs` face in for pulling tongues at me.
 
I think we have reached a tipping point where our opaque funding model (Moshiri, Usmanov), our preposterous overspending only to go backwards, our uppity ambition (hiring the likes of Ancelotti and James), the hint of a threat to the established order (new stadium), and the sense that we are a viable albeit proxy target for untouchables like the Saudis at Newcastle have combined to make us the villains of choice.

We are the only heavily-backed truly big club that is actually punching beneath its financial weight. Basically, we are the weakest link of the current greed is good establishment. Of course, the irony of all this is that the likes of Burnley, pleading injured innocence, have been run into the ground by their own small-time rapacious capitalists.

The only way out of this for us is to fundamentally change the way the club has been run. It's our mismanagement at board level that has led to us becoming the target du jour.
Agree with all that but we haven't been liked for year's. There's been a media bias against us for a few decades in my view.
 
Anyone who went on the pitch during the game should be banned.
Anyone on the pitch assaulting or abusing opposition players should also be banned.
Simple as that for me.

I would be lawyering up, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Vierra deserves the book thrown at him. What about cantona? He was being goaded, so kicking the mef was fine - wrong answer.
 

Most common in college basketball over here. Happens in college football as well. It's tolerated. Security knows to get the visitors out ASAP, and opposing players/staff know to book it for the tunnel.

The safety issues are manageable if stadium staff are prepared. It's not great for the pitch, so I don't think it should be happening on the regular, but it's hard to stop that kind of tidal wave when a team dodges relegation or wins a title in dramatic fashion.

The U.S. infamously invaded the 17th green at Brookline during the 1999 Ryder Cup, trampling all over Olazabal's line, and this was considered disgusting for that reason.
My 12 year old daughter won her local championship recently, and I refrained from invading the pitch. So...am I not passionate enough, or an example of perfect fan, or apathetic? She wants to know since she is now taking a strong interest in Everton and their doings, and has a sense of humor (necessarily).

It's all social norms. If a #1 team in college basketball gets knocked off away by a school that isn't a perennial power, there's likely to be a bunch of kids on the court within a few seconds of the final buzzer. People don't generally invade the pitch at kids' events, and you would probably be all alone and thought of as a weird parent if you did, so you probably shouldn't do that.

The discussion probably should center on whether or not we want that happening, and if so under what circumstances. Schools generally don't let kids tear down the goalposts after a big win in American football anymore, due to the expense. That said, some kids at Appalachian State famously went to the stadium, tore down the goalposts and put them in the chancellor's yard after their team beat Michigan away. It was that big of a deal, and no one batted an eye.

If the conclusion is that we don't want it happening, it needs to be made clear that stadium bans will be issued the next time it happens. If that isn't made clear, it will happen again.
