Idiot in the North...

thick people do thick things
shop the culprits
its not just small brains they have
must be small somewhere else

Trying to think of the reasoning and thought process of bringing a smoke bomb to Stevenage at home. At what point pre-match do you think it’s a good idea?

Got to be honest, I’m struggling. Just a mad one to risk getting banned for Stevenage at home.

Exactly my thoughts. Stevenage FFS! Weird

If you think a flare is bad enough then I remember ammonia thrown at us by Blackburn fans in the Kop in 1968!
Always been idiots

And, incredibly, I've heard it reported (rumour, hearsay?), the miscreant responsible for the 1968 incident, when apprehended, responded by protesting his innocence, saying: "Leave me alone; I've done nothing wrong; ammonia a footie fan mindin' me own business ..."
 
People was smoking
And got reported (not by me)
And also was reported for having a flare in pocket steward done noting and smiled and went along his merry way then got thrown in second half well done stewards take a bow

This is almost as unfunny as you continuously pointing out spelling mistakes on a very insignificant unofficial football website.

Seems to give you some weird sense of purpose I guess as you've nothing interesting to say. Bless.

I don't really understand the talk of closing down blocks or fining the club, don't they have authorities there filming the crowd?. You pick them out and ban them, a few idiots shouldn't tarnish the game for the 99% who are capable of attending a match without acting like tossers.

Didn’t see many police yesterday
Stewards were looking up at where the flare was initially thrown for the culprit whilst the ones most likely responsible were in front of them filming it ( by now it was on the floor by one of the concourse entrances )
You didn’t have to be Columbo to apprehend the guy with the balaclava on as the chief suspect
 
The people around him must know who it was, so are probably as culpable if they don't let anyone know. If the club suffers then we all suffer.
I have loved football all my life, but sometimes these mindless idiots do make it hard. Watching BFC is hard enough at times, we just don't need further hassle.
 
I just don't understand why an individual would think it was a good idea to simply lob a lit flare aimlessly behind them, amongst their fellow fans....

Throw it on the bloody pitchside, if committed to setting it off!
 
There's a huge difference between a flare and a smoke bomb. A flare is far more dangerous, but of course, throwing a smoke bomb or flare is incredibly stupid and dangerous.

As mentioned, sadly, it's not just about modern society. There was the ammonia incident, and missiles were regularly thrown over at the back of The Kop. In 1975 or 76, when Chelsea had been relegated to the Second Division, I was hit by a red pool ball thrown by a Chelsea fan. For some reason, I picked it up and took it home.
 
I'm not a violent man, have never been involved in any trouble at football, however reading this thread and certainly reading the ones defending the dimwitted simpleton who thought it fun and manly to throw a flair after all the warnings etc that have been made about such hazardous behaviour has in some ways stressed me out.

Stress is the confusion created when ones mind overrides the body's basic desire, to choke the living shit out of this arsehole who desperately deserves it, as through his actions will probably mean we all suffer.

If you can't behave then don't come to a football match, the vast majority don't want you, or your kind in their midst.

Not if its happened a number of times and we have had fines and warnings of more fines and points deductions . Its one thing singing a rude song and another throwing something thats dangerous . People know who he is and should turn him in or with a little luck CC TV could have picked him up.

I agree but a lifetime ban for a stupid youth is a bit harsh.
We have all done silly things in our youth which makes us gringe when we reflect some of our actions.
5 year ban yes but lifetime come on.

We might well have done SILLY things granted but have you seriously done something that could endanger someone’s life?
Throwing things like flares and smoke bombs at a football match into other people especially and throwing a brick through a coach rear window isn’t silly it’s fu*kin dam right irresponsible a totally brain dead action that should be dealt with in the most serious of ways.
These bellends need banning for life as well as a custodian sentence.

Bullshit. A ban should be about the harmful potential of the action, not the lucky escape.

What if it hit a child? Burned them? Maybe scarred them for life? How do you quantify that against a ban? Is blinding another fan worth 5 years? What if it’s a child, then do we do a ten year ban?

Cannot believe the apologists for this behaviour.

Let's go back to 3000 home crowds so the moaning xxxx can watch there club in peace. It's not just about the flare, every chance to have a go people do.

I've been on Bloomfield Road with over 20,000 on regularly, no crowd separation and there was little if no trouble, so I'm sorry your 3,000 remark doesn't hold water.

I confess I threw a heavy toilet roll from the top of Kop over 45 years ago. A let off a firework too.
I look back and think what an idiot I was but I was young and thought it was a big thing at the time.
Should I have received a life ban if caught. I would be most niffed off now still sat at home and the revenue the club would have lost over the years.
The problem with me is that I have compassion which has subjected me to abuse in the past.
sorry Saint Jaffa but I don’t like to hang them by the yard arm
 
Yes it’s grade A bellendry.

However I don’t want to see the kid banned. Bring him into the club for a crash course on health and safety, then give him the option to do some voluntary work at the club (there’s plenty of jobs that aren’t much fun but need doing).
That way maybe they’ll build a better appreciation for BFC and the effort that goes in. Also maybe learns something?

If they refuse then of course go punitive.

I wasn’t no saint in my early years trust me but I just never threw any flares/smoke bombs into a crowd nor did I ever throw a brick through a coach window.

Just senseless pointless acts of stupidity.
 
We have some odd fans wanting to ban kids for being overly exuberant in their celebrations.

I don't understand why yesterday, seems an odd match to choose, but no harm done over all and the Hull fan loved it.

Meanwhile, our resident miserable grumblers, want then banning for life. Talk about a massive overreaction.

We’re under scrutiny due to previous incidents and fines, although this may have been seen as minor and exuberance, our friends at the EFL might think differently.

It’s not exuberance, it’s pathetic.

The EFL have given us a lifetime ban on treating us equitably because we showed them up for what they are.

It's not great, but a smoke bomb is, in different hands, a tool for an artist.

They aren't inherently dangerous.

Chucking stuff is a bit daft, but it's not half bricks that are throwing, or bottles of piss etc etc.

Crikey Jaffa... I can understand that people are upset (and rightly so) that someone has chucked a smoke bomb into the crowd and hit someone. It's an idiotic thing to do to be honest... Throwing a stone at a coach window similarly, but I doubt there's many of us (maybe you excepted) who haven't had one or two incidents in our younger days that are on a par... I mean without wishing to diminish the obvious safety concerns neither is crime of the century...
 
IF it is a Blackpool fan - surely no one can condone it.
Had someone died our reputation would have been in tatters.
As it is, many clubs have a dislike for our fans and I see why.

Good to hear the Pool ball ended up in a pocket. 😉

It sort of landed on the neck / shoulder of the guy next to me and nestled between his top and jacket which was damaged
Can’t think many would be impressed at that
5 year old kid on his fathers shoulders right in front as well
I’m not anti-smoke bombs but chucking them about isn’t on
Bearing in mind what happened to one of our own two years ago you’d think we’d all stop and think

Many of them spend half the game on their phones filming themselves for Snapchat and all that b-s. The smoke bombs and flares aren't passion, they're "look at me look at me, I'm a super massive fan!" for the benefit of their equally brain dead mates.

When in reality, they're super massive losers.
