SholverBlue Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 They look brilliant and can really add to the atmosphere, it's a shame mindless idiot get their hands on them. Eh? They look brilliant but it's the idiots setting them off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Ryan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Eh? They look brilliant but it's the idiots setting them off? What I mean is when they are sensibly used they really add to the atmosphere, but when idiots use them they put other people at risk (the Port Vale fan at BP threw one and it burnt a fellow Vale fan).

GuyGermanLatic Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 It's amazing how European fans are able to put on a pyroshow - even our beloved Frankfurt friends - yet in the UK they can barely hold a single flare without knocking someone's head off. Funny to look at ultras-tifo every week and see European teams making stadiums glow...(Legia Warsaw a few weeks back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ajax v Feyenoord. Flares and strobes frivolously used with no real concern for health and safety; there must have been hundreds killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SholverBlue Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Apparently there was one on tuesday?! I'm not a fan of this ultra stuff but all this "people in the Chaddy were so very shaken" bollocks goes through me, perhaps you're probably better suited at home with a blanket and a half of shandy watching Blue Peter.

The oddest thing was that whoever had one waited all evening until we were 0-3 down in stoppage time before setting it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 The oddest thing was that whoever had one waited all evening until we were 0-3 down in stoppage time before setting it off. They seemed to set it off underneath their seat too, but it wouldn't be the first time that has happened this season... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC_Ryan Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 When you look at the rest of Europe it really highlights the fact that English fans are treated like sub-human vermin by the powers that be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimsleftfoot Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Death toll huge during Feyenoord training session. Q. Are fans in other countries allowed to bring them in or do they have to be smuggled? Q. What about the 'smoke' produced, can that be damaging in anyway if you breathe it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsChris Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm sure the impressive use of smoke/flares in European football stems from at least a modicum of pre-planning. Something mercilessly beaten down in these parts, as the occasional "New Chant" threads will testify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
