The official Everton FC Supporters thread

It's kind of hard to feel sympathy for that fan getting a kick from Viera though obviously he should have kept his calm too... The forest fan should borderline be put in jail for what he did. With the Viera thing he's very lucky it didn't kick something messy off. The same really happened with a sheffield united player too. Palace wouldn't have been as emotional because their season pretty much over anyway but Sheffield United players etc would be pretty emotional / pissed off with the penalty loss so the last thing they want is some fans in their face.

Huge result for Everton. Honestly thought this was the season we were finally going to get it but thankfully not. Where can we see highlights / watch it back? Have seen none of it bar Viera booting a fan!

The Nottingham Forest fan got 6 months jail and 10 year ban from football.

Oh I hadn't read that. I am glad he did tbh - that was horrendous and I thought looked like something that would really merit jail time. I dunno why anyone would think that kind of thing was a good idea.

Massive win. Fair play, although a pitch invasion probably a bit much 

oh hello it's the celebration police 🙄
it's passion, emotion, relief rolled into one. Anyone that has any connection to a team in any sport can see that.

Reminded me of All-Ireland Finals at the final whistle before the PC Brigade stopped it all. Was great to see this evening.

I don't think it was the PC brigade, have players almost to a man not said since they were abolished they prefer it far more. They can get to celebrate with their team mates without having to dodge some pissed up yahoo in a straw hat

What political correctness have to do with crowd and player safety?

[manfromdelmonte]

Never in doubt...

2-0 down at half time against a team that walloped them in the FA Cup, I'll have what you're on.

Everton that

The Viera incident and the Billy Sharp incident have shown they're a bad idea...

Skin of your teeth but you stay up.

The question now is how do you build on it?  This season is not a result of a bad run of results. There's been issues with the squad for a number of years. Frank has kept youse up but is he the man to really build on?  An awful lot of average players. Where can the fat be trimmed and who is likely to come in?  With Uzmanonvs money gone, will anyone of note come in?

[imtommygunn]

To start with you get defenders who can defend. Big question mark for me round Frank too. As per man united massive clearout needed.

Racist abuse towards Brentford players the other night and attacking managers last night.
Not great from Everton fans..
manfromdelmonte staying quiet about it....

[imtommygunn]

The manager wasn't attacked. He was goaded...

[brokencrossbar1]

The manager wasn't attacked. He was goaded...

It was very unsavoury whatever way you dress it up. He was wrong to react like he did but show me any man who wouldn't react....

Exactly. That Everton fan deserves zero sympathy.

Vieira should take whatever punishment comes his way (hopefully very light) but he did what most people would do. That idiot is lucky Vieira didn't deck him like Clough did all those years ago.

[tyroneStatto]

If you are paid an obscene amount of money each week you should be able to keep your cool if some idiot goads you.

[Will it ever end]

What a completely idiotic statement Clarshack, seriously!

[Milltown Row2]

If you are paid an obscene amount of money each week you should be able to keep your cool if some idiot goads you.

So the money should override a person's reaction to a twat who shouldn't be on the pitch and goads him face to face, but you can't react because he's paid obscene amount of money? Ok seems legit
