I agree. i reckon we need a crash in the value of the euro and a sense of injustice over a ****ty treaty forced on us. Roll on the Lisbon treaty referendum.Quote:

Why don't they fine for real offenses like wearing straw hats with pieces of string around them?Quote:

The point of the last two posts is what? That this stuff isn't allowed? Well duh, the point of the pro-pyro people has been that we don't give a flying fck if they are allowed or not and we don't care what the likes of you two think.
The point of the FAI seems to be that they similarly don't give a "flying fck" what you think. They'll continue to fine clubs whose fans use flares at games.Quote:

No offence, BohsPartisan, but your last few posts make you sound like you're about 14 years old...
I think flares look great personally, but there's a clear public safety risk involved, particularly in old and decrepit stadia such as those in our league.
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.
None taken. I was simply affording John and Steve's posts the respect they deserved. People keep bringing up red herrings like the legality of flares into this debate when nobody is disputing their legal status. As for throwing them, well of course there should be fines for throwing them at players, near players and they shouldn't be thrown at all.Quote:

Shelbourne were fined €150 as a result of till rolls been discharged v Longford Town (11.04.08).
€150 for till rolls and €50 for a flare,the FAI are the stupidest ***** going
That was 'lim til i die' falling over a seat, as for E50 for a flare and E150 for till rolls :eek::eek::eek:Quote:

I'm glad Intermediate Certificate students aren't running football nor making decisions on my safety.Quote:

BTW Bosco -
Any shop like this will have them
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.
Im sorry but :D :D :DQuote:

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.Quote:

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. :)Quote:

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?Quote:

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

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.Quote:
