This was far worse last week. This is why flares shouldn't ever be near a football ground. And as for the ' fan' with the corner flag...it's like a beheading. Truly sickening behaviour.

 

Didn't someone get killed in Wales by a flare a few years ago?

Edit

Sad story

Well as someone who likes pyro in the stadium that is horrendous - that must have come from a flare gun? Not sue what the difference is between a flare gun and a real gun but I would imagine the consequences are similar e.g. it counts as a firearm and the person that fired it is going away for a long time.

Surely no one would be that stupid in this country?

back in 87 i was in Moscow and went to see Moscow Dinamo play Alma Ata.

It was bloody freezing outside (literally) and it was played in an indoor stadium.

When we came out the underground there was two solid banks of soldiers on either side forming a corridor to the stadium - not every 5 yards, they were shoulder to shoulder. Inside the stadium there were thousands of soldier in great banks in the seating.

They have a hooligan problem i was told.

We were near the 'away fans'. Which consisted of two small boys and and an older man and possibly 6 others. -thats all.

the lads proceeded to jump up every now and again and wave a home made flag, every time they did the soldiers surrounding them told them to shut up and sit down :) - but to be fair they kept on.

the wierdest thing was the game was played on astro turf - great big strips across the pitch and every time there was a tackle it all got lifted up. So the game stopped and they smoothed it out again.

Half time everyone went off to get ice cream. despite it being -20 outside....

 

one of the wierdest games i ever went to see.

Remember watching the game live on Tv. As the studio guests were about to sum up game you could see the flare launched from one stand straight into the other. Distress flare so would have hit like a mini missile without the explosion .
