exiledfan Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 It's illegal to set off a flare if it's not an emergency so why aren't these folk getting whipped out the stadium and arrested . The cynic in me says it's because the police and Stewards know that it will lead to an altercation as most the flares are thrown by casuals looking for trouble.

Sonny Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 For all the numpties out there. Anyone caught with a flare or smoke bomb will be banned from the stadium. https://www.stmirren.com/fans-news/4535-use-of-pyrotechnics-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 From my recollection, i can't remember any flares/pyrotechnics that have used by home fans at home games. Plenty of other accusations floating around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 St Mirren 'fans' have used pyrotechnics outside the stadium but mostly at away games when they can be complete arseholes.Sent from my SM-P610 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disaffected youth find a common negative activity to involve themselves in, fighting other disaffected youth from elsewhere. Those in power love this, as it means young working class kids are fighting each other rather than those taking their opportunities away from them.

Away and take your political shite to a suitable thread. PS I love how the blame culture has taken over in Britain, especially blaming the government for almost everything.
