What was that nonsense with the flare about?
Seemed to be a bit of aggro between stewards and fans after the flare was thrown on the pitch. Baffled why anyone would celebrate a win against the mighty Azerbaijan in that way as presumably they're going to be banned once identified. Really not worth it.

Re: What was that nonsense with the flare about?
Surprised they managed to smuggle in given stewards were frisking fans before they entered the stadium

Re: What was that nonsense with the flare about?
You get frisked but as long as you answer 'yes' to the question 'just your phone and keys in your pocket?', I think you could smuggle anything in to be honest.

Re: What was that nonsense with the flare about?
From the gesturing of the chap in the front row, I got the impression that he threw it on the pitch to get it away from him, after someone further back initially threw it and it landed by him.

It was a smoke bomb, not a flare.
Drama queens made the most of it, harmless enough.
Nothing to see here!

I never got frisked? They sometimes ask you to open your jacket, but that’s just one of Wayne Nash's stupid ideas! :shrug:

It was probably Ashley Williams who threw it.

Nah, thankfully he was nowhere near the stadium. He was back home in England.

That's because the stewards like to profile fans. Saw you bowling along and thought, aye, aye! :hehe:

Towards the end of last season I worked the Macc Town V Crewe game. I was in charge of the away terracing and had four stewards outside who frisked every man and woman that came into the ground. Searchings bags, coats, hoods, hads, etc thoroughly. I double checked a few myself who I didn't feel had been properly frisked. Anyway that day eight flares were let off and we found another three that hadn't been lit/failed to go off.
Try and work out how they got them in?

The people you thought were eager about their jobs weren’t really as eager as they made out and didn’t bother frisking as thoroughly as you’d have liked?

back pockets..
I have noticed when being searched people never search your back pockets, probably do not want to touch your bum bum

Er, no, not quite. They get the kids to bring them in. You can't frisk a kid. That is how the Crewe fans got them in.

Sorry, I missed that, could you say that again?

Re: What was that nonsense with the flare about?
Never seen so many flares at Ninian Park than at that Man Utd game in the 70s. Tank tops in full evidence as well.
-
Re: What was that nonsense with the flare about?
I've smuggled many a can in, the frisking's usually quite pitiful. Got proper frisked on Friday though, they even confiscated my little keyring penknife which I've had for so long I'd forgotten it was an actual knife. I've taken that on so many planes too :yikes:

This is correct. I was sat 5 seats away from him on the second row and the flare/smoke bomb came down from further back in the Ninian and hit him. The stewards mobbed up and had a real go at an innocent person. It was quite upsetting, a mother and her young son, who were sat next to the guy, left in tears. Whoever launched that incendiary device is an utter c@nt.

Good job Mr Smug, and his drama queens, weren’t at Monza today.
Smoke bombs are encouraged at some European clubs.....makes for a good atmosphere....remember those days?

Given the history of Welsh fans and flares I'm surprised anyone would play it down. If something like that hits you, smoke bomb or not, you're not likely to instantly think this is harmless enough.

So either at home, or in the stadium aren't acceptable places for him to be in your opinion? Where should he have gone during the match?

Nope. Thanks though. I find them bloody annoying. And dangerous. Each to their own.

A smoke bomb “dangerous”?
Maybe you’re confusing them with launch-able distress flares, which are extremely dangerous.?
