It's a moot point though because no club or local authority would allow it.

Indeed - they wouldn't allow it for the reasons that other people have already outlined. Namely that, given the wide range of preferences and tolerance levels among people in society, authorities have to set reasonable limits to behavior in public and hope that people will be decent enough to abide by them. It's up to all of use to debate what is/isn't acceptable, but I think that restrictions on smoke-producing devices in areas of concentrated crowds (some of whom will have respiratory conditions) is OK. Whilst I don't disagree that it would be lovely to be able to establish an area where this sort of thing could happen, it would be unworkable (too many permutations of preferences and, practically, you'd have to be sure that smoke, etc. wouldn't drift into the 'softies' section).
 
With regards to pyro, flares can burn at temperatures in excess of 700 degrees Celsius. Now that's rather hot, and I'm fairly sure nobody would want that touching them at any point. I've been scalded very briefly by a liquid that was around 150 degrees Celsius, and it hurt like hell. I can't imagine how much being burned by a flare must hurt, but my guess would be a fucking hell of a lot.

Banning people who think that setting a flare off close to another person for the sole purpose of creating "atmosphere" can't surely be looked upon as wrong, can it? I'm aware that they have flares in other countries, but do any of the numpties who try and use them over here actually read the instructions and warnings on the flares, or do they just think "Fuck it, let's get this lit"? I suspect that they aren't worried one bit about any harm their pyro or flare may cause.

And if you think that smoke canisters should be permitted then perhaps you could lobby the FA and Football League with your reasons why, backed up with proven research into it?

I'm not denying that foreign matches have a different atmosphere, it's just that certain individuals seem to have the attitude that they should be able to behave however they like whenever they like without any consideration for either those around them or the rules of the stadium they are watching the match in.
 
This guy having the results of a flare burn being dealt with may make people think twice about using flares.
 
In my youth it used to be bottles, darts, ballbearings, acid in balloons, sharpened coins, fists, boots or anything else intended to cause maximum damage. Lets have some perspective. A bit of smoke won't kill you, the fire may, but the smoke won't :). Let today's youth have a bit of fun for christs sake.

I'll manage without the party then.

The one at Elland Road fucked my breathing up for 2 days and I had chest problems for 2 weeks.

Sorry to spoil someone's selfie and all that but some things are more important.

Can’t you take a gas mask in so that they can have their fun

Now then, I'm no angel, but these pyro things need sorting.

The bloke who brought it in was from Lowestoft with two of his kids, a mate and another kid. The kids had jester hats on, were late in as they got their hot dogs and had the full United shirt combo on. It was a day out for them. They were excited and living in Lowestoft I imagine excitement is a bit thin on the ground.

And then their own feckin father let off a pyro to show off. Sadly he didn't know what the hell he was doing, the smoke affected all around him and his own mates son got it in the eyes, choking him and making him cry.

The stewards did a good job and got him out before some of those who'd had a throat full smacked him. The half time chat indicating others not being impressed with the effect on the elderly and the young Blades around. It carries a life ban and perhaps others so inspired may want to think before they bring em in.

Knob, no other word... Why would anyone want to cause fellow Blades distress..

I can think of a few other words to be fair, but I'm happy to go along with "knob" or "nob".

Yet no one says anything about the cloud of smoke I have to walk through every day that I enter and exit the train station. That affects far more people.

I have loads to say about the cloud of smoke you have to walk through that affects you and many others.

I say that atmospheric pollution kills 40,000 people a year in the UK alone, I say the Govt have been up to their necks in the motor industry and their lobbyists, I say that the EU have tried to stop us killing our own people but we've resisted all the way, I say its the young, elderly and poor who cop most of this but the govts actions suggest their lives are worth less than the automotive industry.

But then again - all this green, environmental stuff is just leftie, liberal tree hugging bullshit ain't it eh? :(
 
Pyro, we are told, can maim and disfigure, and there is no place for it in any British football stadium.

But when the club decide they want to launch flamethrowers up into the air from pitchside, that's just fine.

People on the front row of the south stand and john street were saying they were getting a little bit warm near those dustbins of fire.

I felt the heat on row X! There were similar flame throwers at Chelsea ( I don't remember if there were any at Bournemouth). Have the Premier League insisted upon them? It all seems rather irresponsible and unnecessary in these days of climate change.

Incidentally I didn't notice any smoke bombs at Bournemouth or Chelsea, but there was certainly no lack of atmosphere amongst the away fans at either game.

If they keep you warm during the winter months will you be complaining then? :)
