Smoke bombs and flares

[liamwilson0]

Why are some people bothered about them being set off after scoring?

 

[Loco]

Because the club could get fined if this keeps happening.

 

[Simonized]

Someone lost part of his hand last season so I am pretty sure any responsible person would care,

 

[Camberwell1]

Because they are dangerous and outlawed - grow up

Why not invade the pitch and punch all their players

Stud Pratt throwing flares and just as stupid a post

Smoke bombs don't bother me in the slightest (although I accept that the authorities don't like them).

The flare thing yesterday bothered me.

Having been about 15 yards from the bloke who had his fingers/thumb blown off, I was genuinely worried for the steward who decided to move it - I have no idea what the thing that blew his hand off looks like and I thought we were going to have a repeat.

The fact that all it did was melt the AstroTurf is lucky.

We don't need pyro's they are dangerous; stick to the tangerine smoke bombs.

 

[Curryman]

You beat me to it TSS. But in my opinion there is no need for any of them.

 

[wizard_wes]

Used by people who don't give a toss about fellow fans. Smoke bombs for people like me who have asthma are toxic. Have inhaled them before and can be really uncomfortable.

 

[abt1835]

What a disgrace to potentially ruin the excellent reputation are fans are creating with their non stop singing and support of the team, by fighting, throwing items and jumping over the perimeter fences.
As Camberwell1 says - grow up and make the Club proud not ashamed!

 

[Wizzerboy]

You cannot reason or plead with folk who have one brain cell between them.

Yea, CCSeasiders look at the tangerine smoke
Woah that blokes got asthma this could seriously damage his health.
Oh yeh, hey look at the tangerine smoke, CC Seasiders

It's interesting that people who throw these awful, smelly smoke bombs are never on the receiving end.
A couple of years ago, outside the ground with many demonstrators, one came over and landed right in front of an elderly lady almost hitting her.
How would the thrower feel if that had been his/her mother, or even a small child?
I suppose the answer would be, 'Well they shouldn't be there'.
Mindless morons.

Is there any news on how he is?

[1966_and_all_that]

The yoof don't read this site. They will do what they do before they grow up

 

[Wizzerboy]

It seems lessons haven't been learned from the Paul Markham incident.
I couldn't live with myself if I'd have changed a blokes life like that forever.
Unfortunately, even though we are all Blackpool supporters there are some right stupid cnuts in our ranks.
Maybe the club has to look at banning orders if the perpetrators are outed

 

[fcblackpool]

And I think the OP has his answers.

 

[CalderwoodCritchleyWon’t]

We have an ever growing yob element at Blackpool. Too many are more bothered about flares and offering out rival fans for fights. Thick bastards

 

[alanm]

you have to be incredibly stupid to throw a smokebomb /flare
not only can it burn you
do damage
for people with asthma its a major issue
i cannot believe anyone would be so selfish
we need to shop them tot he police

 

[M_Block_Ultra]

The big flag got damaged by a flare,not clever.

Are you for real?

Someone got a life changing injury from one at the club only a few months ago. What part of "danger to life" do you not get?

Soft cnuts couldn't fight sleep...all piss and wind, the lot of them.

Because it makes you look like you've got a very tiny willy Mr Registered last night new username.

I checked that also...but he registered in June actually.

 

[Hazi]

After what happened to the lad last year there is no excuse for bringing flares into the ground.

Stupid post of the year

It’s a simple question I’ve not disagreed with anyone’s reasoning behind whether they like them or not

 

[SwannDangerous]

We should just set loads of fires in the stands instead, it's basically the same colour, and more accessible for all!

Been registered for months but nice try

Irrespective of the harm they may cause and the disruption to the flow of the game when they get thrown, taking into the ground, attempting to take, or setting smoke bombs off is illegal in the same way as setting off a flare is. And quite right too.

 

[Sooty59]

It’s embarrassing that one or two of these pissed up naughty children, manage to tarnish our entire support. Have a drink, make some noise & just behave.
