Smoke bombs flares etc.

Whether there are fines depends on whether there were searches coming in. If UCD had these in place they may well be OK. Ultimately if people are determined to get flares in they will find a way.

Pretty solid searches done at the Legia game and there were no shortage of flares in the away section so true that if they want them smuggled in it will be managed somehow.

Disagree with this. I went up to get programmes early and I had a backpack. It was searched. Went to the pub again and when I came back there were loads more people entering. Not one bag was searched in the crowd that I saw and I still had the backpack.

I can't say if people were searched in the away section. There were 700-odd supporters there and loads had flares. I wouldn't necessarily say that they were searched. Sometimes stewards do things either on a safety ground (maybe afraid something would kick off if the Legia ultras were searched) or maybe they just didn't bother searching them.

I was searched, as was everyone that was in the queue I was in. And it was absolutely battering down rain.

I was searched going into the Aviva that night, get searched going into every LOI ground and every game i take 2 cans with me, simply put under belly and stuffed down beside the little man and the only time ive ever had them taken off me was in Windsor Park for the Irish Cup Final!

Do u realise how small a flare is? It would be nearly impossible to get

**Nesta99** · 30/08/2016, 1:18 PM

So thats the reason for that walk with some going round to the shed, I though it was an SSA thing.......

almost impossible to stop it being brought into matches.

Everyone just shoves it down their jocks. Nothing stewards can do.

Anyone know why our goons decided that Friday was a good time to bring back flares and smoke bombs? We've had nothing for about a year before that

Maybe they're thinking what's 500 euro when we have 6million??

Didn't do any harm (apart from a few numpties involved that inhaled the smoke) so no big deal. Never agreed with the rule on automatic fines for flares. Definitely where it is a danger but Friday nights incident was harmless and no reason either side should be fined for it.

**Sean South** · 06/09/2016, 11:04 AM

Agreed but that would never happen.

Ah yes, saw the banner. Is this some hoolie link up (recall Bohs have one with wrexam and shams have one with Cardiff and/or man city).

Shels not happy about the protest last Saturday. They are right, but it won't do them any favours.

They are not right. They fail to engage with their own supporters and then call them disgusting for protesting about that?

I don't disagree with their grievance, but using flares, firing them onto the pitch and setting fire to seats is bang out of order.

I did find that part mystifying,

"To express our our immense dissatisfaction at the proposed demolition of Tolka Park we are going to destroy a small part of the ground ourselves..."

Whatever about the seat, whoever hit the Waterford keeper (who could have also minded his own business I'll grant you) with one is a dick head.

**El-Pietro** · 21/10/2016, 9:09 AM

While the protest wasn't handled well, those Shels fans have some real grievances, and the club are making an absolute mess of this. They will alienate what little support they have left if they continue down this path. If they haven't already.

shels involvement in Dalymount has been a joke from the start. The board agreed fully and then got cold feet when some fans kicked up.The plan B apparently (from the protesting numpties) is that the club should just buy Tolka Park and do it up

. Not a pot to pee in but buy the ground and pump money into doing it up (when DCC and FAI said there would be no grants).Fines for the 'protest' should help the buy Tolka fund no end.

**geysir** · 22/10/2016, 12:54 PM

For some unknown reason, Uefa have not taken note of the incidents involving flares at the Aviva and are taking no disciplinary action against Legia Warsaw.

Flares? What flares?
