Was listening to that as well. Fucking Linlithgow Hooligans. It's bad behaviour and shouldn't happen but some people go way over the top on the subject.

Bristol City Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't get how anyone older than maybe nine can get excited over letting off fireworks - I'm guessing anyone who does it at games used to be the local simple kid who got all overexcited on the run up to bonfire night and spent about a month before collecting firewood. And any man who cries the moment they see a flare is that kid that would go screaming to the teacher when you took the piss out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofixedability Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 And any man who cries the moment they see a flare is that kid that would go screaming to the teacher when you took the piss out of him You're coming across as a cretin on this thread. The flares/smoke bombs, delayed the kick off significantly, caused damaged to the pitch, will mean a big increase in police / security at the rematch and certainly made a good few people uncomfortable enough to move from their chosen viewing place. Why the defence of flares / pyro at football? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the defence of flares / pyro at football? Because the atmosphere at British games is terrible compared to European games, and anytime some young lads try to create one everyone just takes the Polices side.

All of the issues you raised would be solved by making them legal in certain areas of the ground Don't understand how pyro creates an atmosphere to be honest, I don't actually mind it for what it's worth but flags, singing, drums etc create a much better atmosphere than pyro does. Smokebombs/pyro just seem to be disruptive. If the young lads just had a drum, flags, and a group of people singing all game everybody probably would've applauded them. The big group of young lads that follow us home and away do this and I've seen them get nothing but praise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresto11 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I find the need for the young neds to come across like some sort of European ultras fan group all a bit cringy. At no point does it bother me or make me feel uncomfortable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM.

All of the issues you raised would be solved by making them legal in certain areas of the ground What European games out of interest? I'll give you the German league but any Spanish game I watch has a tea party atmosphere and any recent Italian game I watch the grounds are even emptier than in Scotland. I'm not saying the British atmosphere is amazing, far from it, but you can make an atmosphere by singing rather than letting off pyro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Equally, it was reported in newspapers and websites today that there was. Photos online of the pitch being on fire, this could end up being pretty costly for a junior club like Linlithgow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the issues you raised would be solved by making them legal in certain areas of the ground How does chucking flares on a pitch and delaying the game create an atmosphere? Have been at plenty of big and small matches (in UK and abroad) with cracking atmospheres and no pyro in evidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dug Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I don't mind the smoke bombs to be honest but the fact is they are banned and everyone knows that, so why do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and look how easily they could kill that atmosphere by banning us taking the drum into Links Park? I just think fans should be able to do what they want to do. People constantly taking the Polices side, who'd rather we were all Arsenal fans and treated football like a theatre, just piss me off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
