What is the FAI's view on fog horns, megaphones etc...
Ive never seen a problem with them at games before until Waterford last Friday.
They were taken off the Limerick fans and thrown away. :(
Also if an away fan sets off a flare, smoke bomb etc, which club gets fined?
The home team or the away team?
Fog horns are banned. Megaphones depending on which ground.
bit off topic, but...Quote:

Whoevers fans let it off, in this case, the away team.Quote:

What next....?
No songs with swear words......:rolleyes:
Flares look great at games, dont see the risk at all if its controlled.

i think so, all the ultras in ireland turn up for a qualifier game and let a few off, just to let the f.a.i that we're thinking of them;) As for them being dangerous yes they are dangerous but only in the wrong hands, what incidents are there in ireland of anyone getting really seriously injured? (multi-coloured wigs not valid) they are dangerous in the wrong hands but they are great at adding atmoshpere in the parts of the stadiums that are usually full of atmosphere. they are not for everyone so if you dont like them surely you'll know where not to stand so that there is no chance of yourself getting harmed. there is a reason they are used in adverts aswell because they look good and show the passion of the league many who dont attend games dont seeQuote:
