You've still not answered my question about being run over by a driver who's only just breaking the law.

Cos this is a football thread about flares.
Why continue and try and move away off topic?

Because you started talking about speed limits. And how you didn't think they should be observed. OK with that?

Sorry, you're a bit like the guy who jumped from a 300 foot building and on the way down thought to himself "290 feet and so far, so good."

When I was eight, a friend and I played a game that involved throwing darts at each other's legs. The one who got closer to the other person won. All went well until, suddenly, he won. I looked down and saw a dart sticking out of my leg.

In other words, things don't lose the potential for danger just because they haven't happened yet.

The fact that it happens a lot in Europe doesn't make it the best thing since sliced bread. The Italians, for example, often prefer to use suppositories when they're under the weather rather than tablets.

We used to play the dart games as well at my mates house in Field Road, Feltham. One day after taking a dart to the shin, I was rolling on the floor when my mate hit me full whack in the nuts with a cricket bat.

My God. Didn't realise there was anyone as mad as me. Your mate was 100% determined to stop you ever walking again.

At work, when it was quiet, we used to play ‘hepatitis dart’ which involved dropping (Rather than throwing) darts, point first onto someone’s leg. We would measure and increase the distance each time until the recipient bottled out. Think I managed over two metres…

Yes, we were fully grown adults.

Utter rubbish.
Anyone who went Goodison will tell you their flares and smoke bombs - both inside and outside the ground - added to the atmosphere. Unless you're blind.

The smoke bombs inside the ground were pathetic. And added nothing. Their atmosphere without them was special.

Utter ?. You really are deluded. The place stank! The atmosphere was created by exceptionally noisy fans. The flares/bombs were just an annoyance.
As I’ve said before, go and stand in a phone box and let one off and revel in your special “atmosphere”. WUM!?

Struggle to find a phone box these days. Just ask superman! But anyway totally agree with your sentiment.

My Dad’s friend used to clean his pipe and then stick the pen knife into his leg to frighten us kids. We didn’t know he’d lost his leg in the war and had a false one.

.... slightly ironic that Lionel's are supposed to be for those in distress....and not meant to cause it.

Two flares were thrown today in the west stand as many must have noticed.
This needs to be curtailed before someone gets hurt.
These things stink and have no place at Brentford!

What is there to “dislike”?

Taking drugs? I assume they mean illegal drugs

Alcohol is a drug hopefully not included

I assume you can take drugs into your system at home still and attend

Throwing objects.
Strong measures.

Some strong words of disapproval coming Leeds way from the EPL this season. :rolleyes:
 

Flares

I'm glad they explicitly mentioned smoke bombs, hopefully that'll shut some of the numpties up.

I much prefer a tapered or slim fit leg to be honest but seems a bit much to ban people from wearing a pair of Lionels if that's what they like.

The thing with flares is that it’s obvious which set of fans are responsible. They are totally stupid, dangerous and utterly irresponsible. There should be a serious penalty on any club responsible whether at home or away.

Where are Bias in all this surely they are demanding some rehab seats so the those adapting to football without drugs can sit.

Lots of flares from the rangers end for a game against livingston... Strange. So much smoke you cant even see the goal, does asthma not exist up north

Agree…The same photo the club endlessly used for years after but wanted to throw out anyone that had a flare or smoke bomb etc …confused.com Bfc alert??

Don't know how feasible it is to do, but if it were ever to become decriminalised, there are safety precautions.

 

Flares

If anyone wants to let off flares, could they not be allocated a safe zone away from other supporters to do so ?
Like on the M4 gantry, visible from the stadium.
Would be a decent view up there and would not cause other fans issues.

Class 1 dangerous goods will never be decriminalised in s public or private place whilst potentially under the influence of alcohol

Imo flares should stay banned inside football stadiums. Too dangerous, simple as.

Smoke bombs on the other hand, add even more of a visual accompaniment then flares whilst being much much less dangerous.

If it can be done in a way that there are blocks in the stand where people don’t mind that they’ll be exposed to a bit of smoke, then that’s something to be looked at.

English football is becoming really sanitised and it’s not fun to see. If it’s safe I’m all for it.

Pyrotechnics are pyrotechnics, whatever their intent, and are classified as explosives.

Te be more technical, I get involved in the transport of hazardous material, including explosives. The definition includes both items described as explosive substance AND pyrotechnic substance, defined as: a substance or mixture of substances designed to produce an effect by heat, sound, light, gas or smoke or a combination of these as the result of non-detonative self-sustaining exothermic chemical reactions.
