Id imagine you only get fined if someone reports it like the referee. In any case its ridiculous to be fined over something trivial like that anyway!

Health & Safety me hole. No other sport in Ireland has such ridiculous fines. If the FAI were arsed about H&S they should be looking at things like exits, lighting, stair gradients etc which are far more of a risk in the LoI than a few flares, till rolls and bog rolls. Ban airhorns just because their crap, along with big wavy flags.
And banning toilet roll and till roll throwing because of the tidying up is the most pipe and slippers excuse ever.

If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Gavin said that UEFA don't want them, and that they're banned here by the government anyway. I don't know about the latter, but here's what UEFA's former CEO Lars-Christer Olsson said in 2005, "We cannot intervene in regulations in different countries, but we have a duty to convince our associations that [flares] are dangerous. You cannot have a celebration which jeopardises security, and our ambition is that flares should not exist as a way of celebrating results in football."
You can't spell failure without FAI
Well in the UK flares you can get done under fire arms legislation for letting them off at football matches. However, even leaving flares out of it saying till rolls and toilet roll are a health & safety issue is ridiculous.

Didn't hear of Rovers getting a fine for the big tito style show they put on for the Drogheda match when all the Germans were in town for the international?
