    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...

    does anyone know why ST Pats were allowed leave up their tri-colour in last nights Setanta game at Brandywell? when we brought ours up, with just "Sligo Rovers FC" on it, we were asked to take it down. I know a few other clubs were asked to take theirs down when they put them up.

    Whoevers fans let it off, in this case, the away team.
    Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.

    Look there are clearly two factions on the flare issue, the Jocks and the nerds. The nerds are in league with the crusty old dean to spoil the jocks' fun but we'll show 'em by having an almighty kegger and stealing the Dean's prized stuffed eagle or something.

    What next....?

    No songs with swear words......

    Flares look great at games, dont see the risk at all if its controlled.

    If a flare is lit in Croke Park, the FAI get fined. If it happens in the league, the clubs get fined.

    Flares are dangerous, and you get punished for using them. Therefore, I don't see why people persist with them.

    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 see

    Given that football tops are made of the sort of material that goes up like a bonfire, I personally have zero interest in being near tw@ts with flares when I'm wearing one...

    Unsurprising to find fans of small teams particularly enthusiastic about flares.

    I guess when you haven't got the fans to create an atmosphere, visual gimmicks are all you've got to fall back on....
