There are a handful of idiots, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater... I would agree but it is the baby that's the problem not the bathwater. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away from Hope the noise and colour remain but there is more aggro towards other fans - moving then to take the spot for the drum - more aggro towards away supporters and use of Flares. Illegal, dangerous and could cost St Mirren £1000 fine. Not clever. Oh and what’s with the balaclava with eye spaces only - not a good look. Come on guys drop the flares and antagonist. https://lm.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.stv.tv%2Fsport%2Fsfa-fined-over-flares-at-scotland-v-ukraine-world-cup-qualifying-play-off-at-hampden&h=AT3HmJZV7RSod4umepTkD39RhB06jNG3v9rHL8TFr_v9ChnKMzp_AQr6cLHc4d7wasfqxt0-B55lEKeJ0bCFz-yi95l5Mtj1phrFbC02aOC3WlcanVvQ47M9WK-RDdZ5oQ SFA been fined £1,712 for the smoke grenades let off at Hampden! Welsh fined over £12,000 for "flares" and fans on pitch. Edited to add, in case link not working... " The Scottish Football Association has been fined after flares were let off in the crowd during Scotland’s defeat to Ukraine in their World Cup qualifier at Hampden. FIFA issued the £1,712 fine over a breach of the order and security of matches – lighting of fireworks – under article 16 of the game’s disciplinary code."

exiledfan Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
