He said flares. I said you're out of luck, I haven't worn them since the 70s They missed finding any…..especially the ones that went off when we scored. Tomlin’s free kick was worthy of a pyro party alone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are sniffer dogs to locate explosives,narcotics of any kind, often seen at airports but rarely at football matches Those at football matches are to act largely as deterrents and given the history between the two sets of fans it’s no surprise that they were there. Same at the Vetch and NP years ago. Yes I know, not sure why you’re trying to explain this to me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 12 Admin Report Share Posted February 12 I wonder if they have sniffer dogs at this event Americans Zach Johnson and Billy Horschel exchanged angry words with fans as the notoriously raucous Phoenix Open was again marred by trouble. Johnson, who captained the US at last year's Ryder Cup against Europe in Rome, said "I'm sick of it" before demanding spectators "just shut up". Horschel was angered by someone calling out while his playing partner player Nicolo Galletti was set to hit a shot. Canadian Nick Taylor produced a superb late surge to win after a play-off. Taylor, 35, birdied three of his last four regular holes to tie with Charley Hoffman on 21 under after the American took the lead with a seven-under-64 at Scottsdale, Arizona. Both birdied the first extra hole but when Hoffman missed on the second, Taylor holed an 11-foot birdie putt to win it. Johnson wins LIV event in Las Vegas But yet again the PGA Tour event, which features thousands of fans surrounding the par-three 16th 'stadium hole', saw unruly behaviour with fights among spectators, a woman taken to hospital after falling from a stand, and alcohol sales being temporarily halted. One man was arrested after jumping over the ropes and diving into a greenside bunker on the 16th, where he proceeded to perform 'snow angels' in the sand. Johnson's outburst was in a separate incident to Horschel, who shouted "buddy, when he's over a shot shut the hell up man", towards spectators who had heckled qualifier Galletti. Former BMW PGA Championship winner Byeong Hun An said the event was "totally out of control on every hole" in a post on social media. The incidents are the latest at an event that has increasingly become affected by rowdy behaviour, particularly on the 16th. An almost naked spectator was arrested at last year's tournament after streaking around the green before jumping in a nearby pond. The previous edition saw fans routinely shower the hole with drinks bottles to reward a good shot - with one player being hit - while PGA Tour players Harry Higgs and Joel Dahmen removed their shirts to the delight of baying fans.
