My view is this so called fan should be subjected to a banning order. Debate away folks .....
-
Double standards again BUFC.
Should you not be banning the manager too for his criminal activity?
Sort it out you clots. :dan
-
Double standards? Flares are not allowed in sports stadia. No argument, no different standards, not allowed.
-
I am not arguing with the fact flares are banned FF. They can cause serious damage to people and property.
Nor should a criminal be managing a football club and even moreso one that claims to be a "Community Club". :bunny

Must a quiet day again troll

Not only a Troll,a thick Troll.

As far as I am aware, Dennis Greene wearing flares is not a criminal activity!
-
If people continue to troll posts, they should be banned too !! Kick off the scouser i say :bunny
-
No ban but should get a warning about their future conduct, as Dennis probably did about his mistake before the Scouse sprouts again.

I cannot believe that people still respond and take the bait when he posts comments on here. Cut off the oxygen and put out the fire.

Or get him to discuss any aspect of United's performance on the pitch this season, or any particular match he has seen and an evaluation of individual players contribution.
-
Agree that it should lead to a warning but no ban, i was at the game on saturday and it was a smoke bomb not a flare and it was also kept between the people who had let it off so it wasnt causing any problems for anybody else
-
Maybe because we are older than most, but all four of our 'gang' went and we all agree that to even take a smoke bomb or whatever one calls it, is daft to say the least and we further agreed that as happened those responsible were ejected. What we felt was completely over the top though was when following the second penalty, their security guy also ejected two Boston supporters for not so much running on the pitch, but hopping over the railing to give Miller a quick kiss and cuddle. We know what the rules say, but honestly was there really a need for that?

Two words for people who think letting off any form of pyrotechnics is appropriate in a football ground - Bradford City.

In that case BUFC should not be having any more firework displays surely :bunny

They don't set them off in the stands!!!!!
-
I know flares are banned, but are smoke bombs?
-
Yes.
-
Are stink bombs
-
I dont c the problem with letting off smoke bombs flares are different matter. However those that did it knew the risks. As for those that were removed for going on the pitch i think the stewards could have used a bit of common sense as emotions run high.

Well that's not much fun! No wonder hardly anyone goes these days :dan

This topic is quite interesting.
On the one hand I do agree that there is a major safety concern in taking any form of firework into a crowded football stadium. Anyone who does so should rightfully be banned.
At the same time, I took a photograph in the late 1990s of the United team, young mascots included, walking out onto the pitch surrounded by fireworks - see below. One false move from one of those fireworks and Jim Dick could have been left claiming incapacity benefits!

Maybe Health and Safety didn't exist when we were in the Dr Martens League?

I do like football but it's becoming a game for whussies. It will soon be subject to Health and Safety idiots. Players have to leave the pitch to change kit if it's blood stained, no matter how small. It is virtually illegal to challenge a goalie for a ball in the air. Drink bottles have to be opened when purchased in the ground. No fireworks in the ground. Just compare it to a Mans game, rugby. Alcohol consumed in the stands, lots of blood splashing around but the players just lick it off and get on with it. Not just fireworks in the ground but bloody big cannons. Players treated for injuries on the pitch while the game continues and players run around the dead and dying. Refs who know the rules and help players to keep the game moving. The FA have a lot to learn.

that wasn't anything to do with pyrotechnics....
That was fags and litter catching light in a wooden stand

"that wasn't anything to do with pyrotechnics....

It still demonstrates that fire and crowds don't mix. In any case, when I've paid good money to watch a football match, I don't want my vision obscured or the game disrupted by some damned fool who hasn't grown up from schoolboy pratting about.

Got to agree with Fairfax, smoke would be a nuisance to spectators vision of the game. Football matches aren,t places for young kids either, they walk past you all the time obscuring ones view of the game as they wander to the goody shop because they are so bored. Football isn't a game for kids to watch, only play. :D
