€50 fine for a flare? Bargain!

BTW Bosco -

Any shop like this will have them (http://www.solasmarine.net/index.html)

Another point to be raised perhaps someone could help me because honestly it's bothering me, How come the fines are much much smaller this year than last? UEFA would have a guideline for fines and this surely hasn't changed so dramatically over less than one year?

Might be a subtle way of letting this sort of thing happen without actually condoning it.

[Lim till i die]

Just last month in Bosnia, Modrica's goalkeeper Bojan Tripic severely burned his hands removing a flare thrown by opposition fans from the pitch and missed several games as a resullt.

Im sorry but :D :D :D


That was 'lim til i die' falling over a seat,

Not Guilty!!

I would magine the stiffer fine for till rolls is because they are actually thrown onto the pitch where as the flares stay in the stand. Thats the only half twisted logic i can see behind that. Plus as said before maybe someone in the fai has a piece of brain in their ceann and realises that the flares do more good than harm!!:confused:

That's not funny at all.

I'm all for flares, but they are dangerous. And can burn through gloves.

Maybe RTÉ are splitting the tab so they can show flares in their ads.

150 lids for till roll (which was dispensed when the two teams came out, along with dozens of tifo and smaller flags being waved) is utter madness in my book.

As for the person who wanted flares, the marine shop in Dun Laoghaire usually has plenty. Bring a blank cheque to hand in to your club office though.:(

Yes but maybe someone should have told him that fire = danger. He probably grabs his steak knife at the wrong end too. :)
Im not agreeing its funny, just silly.

I remember years ago, when there was no segregation in Drogheda, one game where a father and son, spent the whole second half throwing beermats on the pitch. :eek: The area around the touchline was completely covered in beermats and nobody got fined.

Maybe it was in case the keeper spilled the ball?

They dont have to abide by FAI rules and pyro looks good,they just want viewers

I thought it was.

Pick up the non lit side surely??

Or better yet, leave it alone you moron.

I don't know, made me :D

What's the non-literal side of it? A goalie picked up a flare and burnt his hands?

And seriously, what's the need for calling me a moron for not finding a player, particularly one who relies on his hands to make a living, getting hurt funny?

As I've said before, I'm all for pyro, but if it's people like you using them then maybe I'll re-evaluate my position.

He's speaking as if to the goalkeeper, telling him to pick up the unlit side or to leave it alone.

Non-lit, not non-literal. As in, the side which isn't burning. The side which isnt lighted, or lit.

He's not calling you a moron, he's calling the keeper a moron for picking up a flare by putting his hands on the lit end, not the non-lit end.

Ah right. Maybe I am a moron then! :o :o

In the interest of fairness, I looked into the Tripic incident and it wasn't a flare at all (that was a mistranslation). He was being pelted with objects and picked what he assumed was a lighter up to throw it off the pitch. It was actually a firecracker and exploded in his hand.

Not getting at yourself Sheridan but tired of excuses for unexploded ordanance)UXO in football grounds.
I have posted on this thread and others a number of times for some people to know my attitude to UXO.

What is the specific attitude of football supporters willing to smuggle UXO and other material into football grounds-
The policy appears to applaud when the stuff goes off and criticise when it gets confiscated. And then deny involvement or present age or inexperience excuses when individuals get hurt.

I have no sympathy for people who are attracted to football cos of the aggressive behaviour of some regulars.

What are the parameters of the pyromaniacs?
