Chat shit get banged.

Fans like this should be locked in a room with the players they abuse.

stadium ban forever. fuck entitled twats.

I’d pay to watch that 🤣

Only (football) Fans? 😂

Aye

Can’t believe the bellend was actually dumb enough to upload it, fair play to Viera

In his mind he probably believes this makes him a hero.

ya he thinks hes so cool. twat

Even Everton fans think he's a fucking idiot who made them all look bad by association alone. I don't expect much from someone doing something like this, but this absolute plonker is a special kind of stupid

It's takes an amazing lack of brainpower to taunt the coach of the team you barely beat to avoid relegation. Way to be proud of your shit season... Edit: autocorrect

The coach of a team who wasn't even competing against them for anything and unlike them, was already safe ages ago. Not even alcohol and hard drugs can justify this kind of utter stupidity

You can fix many things in this life, but you can't fix stupid!!!

Actually tbf alcohol (enough) can explain it lol trust me I've seen stupider fights

Not to mention the fact that Vieira is an absolute unit and not one to be fucked with. I met him when he was with NYCFC and his stature and aura are terrifying.

Just show how much of a knob he is. The stupidity of people sometimes over something so simple.

Obviously hasn’t spoken to a solicitor.

I’m guessing he’s not the kind of person to think it would be a good idea to get some legal advice first.

I doubt this is why he uploaded it, but a lot of people were speculating that the fan might have said something racist. Uploading this clears that up even if he stills comes off as an idiot.

Not sure why people are so quick to assume racism. Plenty of people are equal-opportunity assholes.

I think it was probably cos of Vieiras delayed response

Yeap exactly, I thought it was likely he took it to a racist place as he left, given Viera looked fine until the guy turns away

When you see the original clip, Veiera's very restrained and then very suddenly reacts. Without knowing what's said, it looks like he's ignoring the guy who then does something that pushes him over the edge. Considering two Brentford players complained of racial abuse from Everton fans last Sunday, it feels like a reasonable theory.

Because we just had incidents of racism with two brentford players. Its not a drastic stretch.

This is absolutely it. This makes him look no worse than the original video and completely refutes any claims he said anything actually bad. I would upload this in a heartbeat if I was him

I’d argue invading a pitch and putting your middle finger in the managers face while yelling curse words at him is bad enough that he’ll probably have NOT wanted to upload this.

But we knew all that before we saw this video. Now with this video we also know it wasnt racism

Ok, so he didn't say anything racist, he's still an absolute clown

Better to be a clown than a racist clown I suppose

That is true, despite this dude's behavior at least he didn't say anything racist

Nice bar we are setting here

idk, I'd say being a general asshat clown is miles better than thinking large swaths of humanity are literally lesser human beings

What does he say? "Suck on that you *bulbin*, get in, yeaaahhhh, fuck off" is what I hear. Maybe it's "baldy"? Great restraint from Vieira, I doubt he understands what this wanker is screeching.

Thought he said muppet.

Can't believe he was dumb enough to do this to Viera. Was this prick not watching football in Patrick's prime?

Probably not old enough to even remember those days

5 minutes of fame. ‘Hey remember that time Viera decked a guy when Everton avoided relegation? Yea that was me!’

He'd be as much fun in the pub as the guy Cantona kung-fu kicked in the 90s

Especially after he shite himself like he did, my mates would torture me lmao

They'd probably start calling me Paddy or Vieira. I'd have to migrate tbh

Why is this bloke so proud of themselves and being like "haha in your face Viera"? Crystal Palace finished higher than you, you barely avoided relegation. Sit down.

Yeah it would be more understandable if Vieira was giving it the bifters about wanting to send Everton down or had played for Liverpool if it was Gerrard or something but there is no dog in the race here, was puzzled watching it.

I don't get it. Everton staying up doesn't bother Palace/Vieira at all. They're not even competing for the same things, nor are they rivals. This is one special fan, and for him to still share the video shows how unrepentant and probably proud he is of his actions.

Yeah I don’t understand his vitriol for Vieira here. Like, you can be excited about staying up without being an absolute shithead to Vieira.

You'd want to treasure this moment and get some time with the players but instead he wasted valuable seconds yelling at Vieira, and he's not even the manager of a rival team or anything like that.

I bet if he encountered Vieira in a bar randomly he'd probably ask for a selfie. Zero reason to have a go at him here.

I know right, does the guy not know palace are 3 places above them in the league? lol.

I think the fan shared it because everyone thought he called him the nword

[Said something similar in a different thread that you might be interested in](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/utdyhr/patrick_vieira_reaction_to_everton_fan/i99hq3x/?context=10000). I was thinking the exact same thing and wondering why this guy didn't go celebrate with Lampard and the team instead.

I get that he's happy that Everton stay up but it really does take someone special to go that far

Thats not happiness, thats a rat being a rat.

I honestly wouldn't be in the slightest bit upset if Vieira had decked him.

It's not even like it was some big rivalry or that they beat Palace to anything.

No happy person would feel the need to push others down when they win. If you're a sore winner there's clearly a void in your life that's hurting you

That void is probably Everton to be fair

Yep. Hes got the nasty combo of narcissist and shitty life = horrible person

Or something special. He's got to be coked up hasn't he.

If that's happiness then it's very sad. This man needs help. Imagine being an adult and doing this to a complete stranger who's done nothing to you.

A waste of space on Twitter said Vieira was wrong because the fan didn’t touch him. I understand taunts but this guy is a cunt for taking it far

Imagine doing that to a man who first of all is an absolute fucking G-unit size of a man, and who has squared up to Roy Keane no problem. Crazy lol.

Not only that, but a man who Roy Keane has admitted would have obliterated him if it had ever devolved into an all-out one-on-one fight, rather than football-related skirmishing. Vieira looks completely unintimidated despite the large number of Everton fans haha. Wrong man to be picking on.

"I'm going to goad Patrick Vieira into attacking me" is one to file next to "I'm going to break into Duncan Ferguson's house". I'm pretty sure they give out awards for that level of stupidity.

Reminded me of the Mike Tyson incident on the airplane recently which the judge threw out b

True 🤣 get the feeling he's thinking "He's a Premier League manager who has to keep his cool, he's not going to boot me around the place when there are cameras everyw-... No, no wait, he is actually booting me around the place. Fuck" Idiot

Going to apply BBQ sauce to my self and dance around in front of Suarez

Darwin awards

I wish this ended the same way as the guy who was annoying Mike Tyson on the plane

Up there with, "I'm gonna fuck with Tyson on this cramped ass plane!"

someone did the same to Dolph Lundgren's house, until they realised who lived there

Roy often sells himself short. He is a trained boxer and gave peter Schmeichel a black eye after the famous brawl.

People who actually know how to do something never have to announce that they know it. Humble play from Roy like that will always garner respect

Oh I definitely think he'd be well able to handle himself in a fight against most people his size, probably some people bigger than him too. I think Vieira would be too much though, he's not only tough but he's *ginormous*

Was it not the reverse and Schmeichel gave Roy the black eye or am I misremembering

I thought Roy gave him the black eye?

Yeah you are right, no idea why I wrongly remembered it

He's probably too young to know who Vieira is

Roy Keane AND Jaap Stam

Vieria is about five inches taller than Keane lol. Roy is a totally average-sized bloke.

For real lol Roy Keane is average height and was never particularly muscular. Being a “hard” footballer doesn’t automatically make you intimidating in a fight.

Step 1: Fuck Around Step 2: Find Out

Step 1: Chat Shit Step 2: Get Banged

Step 3: Rip corner flag

Step 4: Artest is in the stands!

Muggy little cunt

They're everywhere, can't move for these roadmen-wannabe pricks

If viera gets even so much as a 1 quid fine for this the entire league needs to boycott until whoever tried to sanction him is removed from their position

Fr. If anything that man should be commended for holding it together as long as he did

Should get manager of the month imo

If he hurt the guy it would be one thing but he did little more than knock him over on grass. I think legitimately he had reasons to worry the guy would slap him or something

If he hurt the guy I would happily pay his fine myself

In that sort of situation, Vieira needs the benefit of doubt imo. It's all well and good for us watching, but in his situation you'd genuinely be strung up thinking you might get stabbed or punched by a lunatic.

I hope he doesn't even apologize.

Nah if he gets sanctioned just dock Everton 10 points and say it is SOLELY down to that one fan. Then watch. Then 48 hours later say "psyche"

I will start two petitions on GoFundMe. 1. Pay Vieira's fine. 2. Hire lawyers to get the "sanctioner" arrested.

It's actually incredibly impressive Vieira held it together as long as he did.

If this was the Vieira of 15 or so years ago, he would have cleaved his shin in half, and rightly so.

Would have amazing if he'd just two-footed the little fucker. Wanna get on the pitch like a player? Here's the full experience.

Some people just can't enjoy a good thing can they?

Probably put too much of a good thing up his nose earlier.

What a stupid cunt. Hope he gets banned for life

Between this and the shit after Forest/Sheffield, I expect we'll see a crackdown on pitch invasions for next season. Pity. Joyous explosions of fans onto the pitch can and should be great.

Yeah its a bit sad for us that we have to celebrate surviving one of the worst seasons in living memory with a pitch celebration... I understand the relief but its a bit too much with all the pitch invasions

It feels like they are getting worse because idiots like this with their phones try to score some clout or whatever online or from their friends. Fucking idiots. Some people just aren't there to celebrate but trying to become celebrities themselves by filming themselves do stupid shit.

I get the joy and all , but its clear that there is a risk with the tradition. Players and everyone else involved should be protected.

It's probably a matter of safety and security. If something bad was to happen to someone who rushed onto the pitch, maybe a fatality or something, the parties want to ensure that they are not responsible for it. Pitch invasion should be deterred regardless of circumstances. You don't want to wait until a disaster before you act. JFT97

What a fucking idiot.

Honestly what did that guy expect lol. Vieira went toe to toe against Roy Keane every time they played, he isn’t intimidated by some fan.

I have more respect for Keane going toe to toe with Vieira lol

Hahahaha great POV. What a bellend

His attempt at pushing Vieira after getting floored only to be pushed back himself is hilarious

guy filming probably thinks he did nothing wrong

Well, I’m with the big man here. There is a limit for teasing someone, that was too much by the Everton fan. A man has to react eventually.

deserved, what a moron

If you had to square up to a Palace employee for whatever reason Viera is probably near the bottom of my preferred options Idiot couldn't even pick a safe option

There’s something weirdly admirable about having a choice of 40’000 people to start a fight with and deciding to pick the hardest man in the entire stadium

No there isnt, there really isnt.

If I had the braincell that fan had, I'd at least start with the tea lady first and see how that goes, then work my way up flipping off management

What an absolute arsehole.

r/killthecameraman

I really hope Everton ban the cunt for life and in my opinion he should upload a video by the Everton twitter apologising to Viera, But this sort of stuff need's nipped in the bud quick we've been lucky with incidents not being "serious" but it wont be long till it happens.

Not really anything to do with Everton - encroaching on the field of play (including after the game) is an offence under the law and every "supporter" who can identified should be charged and subjected to a banning order. They specifically announced at St. James' before the lap of honour on Monday that if anybody entered the field, the players would immediately leave

ikr...imagine being so petty that when your team pull of the incredible, your first thought is to go a nd rub it into the losing manager. Stay classy.

Cunt got what he deserved. Probably be crying to every newspaper in the country with his story now. Twat.

That's probably why he uploaded, he's a very special dumb type of cunt who like to spout bile but turn into litigious cowards when people get tired of their crap. Probably feels vindicated and thinks Everton fans will come to their defense.

Imagine being such a giga twat that you start on *one of the hardest motherfuckers to ever play in the PL* and then upload your twattery all the same showing you run like a little mitch

Braindead. Should’ve been kicked harder

Hope this clip was worth the stadium ban

Its cases like this one that make me wonder how much have we really evolved . What a tosser. Even found time to upload it apparently.

If hes old enough to remember Vierias playing days hes an absolute moron.

He's almost certainly not

I think what we are seeing here is how much Vieira has matured since his early Arsenal days. He kept far calmer than the vast majority of people would have done in this situation under such aggressive and unnecessary provocation.

Everton failed to control their fans who invaded the pitch, twice. Surely a 15 point deduction would help them understand the error.

r/instantkarma

That pussy only flipped Vieira off when his back was turned

r/abruptchaos

What an absolute shithead. Doubt he’d keep running his mouth when face to face with Vieira alone outside of school though.

The moron actually did it! He actually fucking posted it the twat

Needed to get hit harder. Brain damage could only improve this fucking melon

Hope he gets banned for life from current and future stadiums

Vieira should win manager of the month for cleaning out this rat.

absolute helmet

It’s amazing how many people think that they can shout in someone’s face and swear at them in a very threatening manner, and if the person defends themselves they are in the wrong. Yes, it’s not black and white, but the law provides for limited self defence in such situations. I think Vieira is within the sweet spot.

Well done mate, we've absolutely zero beef with Cystal Palace or Viera, then you fucking shat yourself, then every normal Everton fan around you went "wtf are you doing you twat" and politely escorted Vieria off. Hope he gets banned for life.

What an idiot.

The absolute dumbass uploaded it lmao. Enjoy never stepping foot in the stadium again

you shouldn't upload your murder on the internet

Did he post this thinking he'd garner sympathy? Bold move.

Embarassing

Gosh bless the internet for being able to give us videos like this

fucking idiot, should've been a happy moment for him and he had to act like a prick, hopefully faces consequences of being a fucking idiot

Fucking idiot

They won. Why is he angry?

Got what he deserves

Fuck this guy

This is what passes for acceptable fan behavior? The fan absolutely deserved whatever he got coming to him. Treat ppl the way you want to be treated.

I love that the last thing you see is Viera being cool as a cucumber then ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN OF WHOOPASS UNLOCKED MOTHUFUCKER

Don’t act like a twat and this won’t happen to you.

I hope the internet does its thing and makes life a living hell for this asswipe.

Its because of shit like this that they build huge fences around the pitch.

Deserved, twat gets banned

Roy Keane applauding Viera

Embarrassing from the fan. It's a shame Vieira didn't knock him out. I'm an Everton fan and it's disappointing that we have a minority of absolute braindead fans. Vieira isn't the bad guy, no need for him to be abused whatsoever. I sincerely hope he doesn't get any form of punishment for this, and I'd love for that fan to be identified and banned from our home games for life.

Spent hundreds of millions, barely survived the drop

Should have given him Sweet Chin Music instead

Time to start fining clubs who don't put the required amount of security to stop these pitch invasions.

Ban the cunt for life, seriously.

Great this, the stupid twat has literally uploaded the evidence of himself breaking the law. Fucking moron.

Bro is happy his team is finishing 16th spending way more money than Viera’s team who’s poised to finish somewhere between 14th and 10th Embarrassing stuff

I knew there would be a phone involved... in one way it's good people video themselves as evidence but I think it emboldens them to do really dumb shit too. You know this was put into the 'lads' whatsapp chat immediately 'LOOK HOW I MUGGED OFF VIEIRA HAHA'. Before camera phones this would be a lad talking shit in a pub that nobody would ever believe.

So no racist comment? This is why people shouldn't jump to conclusions like they were doing in the original thread. Everton fan is a cunt though still.

Fuck that piece of shit fan. Classless Signed an Everton Supporter.

Everton should have gone down.

The FA better not punish Veira for this, dude held it together. The fan deserved to be pushed to the ground. Fucking loser.

Pat could’ve put him in the ground. And this clown thinks he’s being funny.

Move to r/iamatotalpieceofshit

Fuck that dude.....

This guy is such a dweeb

Fucking dumb twat.

What a piece of shit this fan is. Fair play to Vieira for keeping it so together

lol what a piece of shit

Fucking. Twat.

So unnecessary. Just celebrate being saved from relegation and move on innit

I bet he told his mates that Vieira is a p*ssy who has no shame to attack a football fan. This type of people doesn't understand about the concept of consequences.

why would u upload yourself being such a bellend

If I was in that situation I would snatch his phone and run away

lmao get rekt

Wow what a fucking loser lmao

Congrats on being not more shit than the 17th team - why be a cunt? I’m with Viera on this

Everton fans a dickhead 100%

the guy deserved it

this fan should be lifetime banned from all stadium

this "fan" should get a ban for life.

This fan should be banned for life, and the club fined for the pitch invasion

I’m confused, does the Everton fan know they finished below Palace? Why does Vieira simply not eat the Everton fan?

Don’t these people have jobs with standards? I imagine any competent workplace would fire this fool on the spot the moment this was made public. I wouldn’t risk my livelihood to insult (possibly assault) a prominent footballing figure simply because my crappy team barely avoided relegation. What a degenerate.

Why are you even gloating to him though... you've barely avoided relegation. As a player he's basically won more than Everton probably ever will.

He shit himself after viera kicked out hahah

This is that idiots video and it currently has 2.8k upvotes. He got what he wanted.
