Yes, we support the incessant singing, possibly even the drummer. But if you want to win hearts and minds, leave the flares at home. Distance yourself from those that would taint what you are achieving. |  | | |  |

Did I go to Cardiff to watch Romania? Er...mmm, don’t think so, nooo....good game?
Thanks for the article. Seems it wasn’t the flare that was the issue more the stupidity of someone firing it into the crowd. Here’s a better idea. Instead of draconian measures every time there’s an isolated incident, how about we redesign or reengineer the offending subject matter to make it safer? After all, we did it with football stadium infrastructure! |

That's what I thought. Didn't he say that he loved them in a press conference this year?? |
Maybe Phil could take some Catherine wheels into Lambert's next presser and let them off live on TWTV? |  |

It's quite simple. Flares, smokebombes etc are banned at Portman Road, so at some point the club will be obliged to take action.
This will no doubt be in a way that causes annoyance or grief to supporters, if not the club.
We are on a roll, top of the table and getting our 'mojo' back. Is this really what we want to be dealing with.....something that will no doubt set club against supporters ?
And directed to Lucan Jnr it woud help if could dissuade idiots with your working knowledge of said items, ans about the pain of not being able to watch us having a great season. No one wants anyone banned, but it will happen. [Post edited 9 Nov 2019 21:41]

Amazing how people are prepared to regard smoke bombs, flares etc at football matches as trivial. This isn't a new debate it was going on long before Brexit ( apologies for bringing that into it.).
Facts need to be accepted. It is against the law and punishment can be severe, with prison sentences as well as lengthy bans.
Put a stop it and before the club take action.

I'm genuinely gobsmacked at how selfish & unwilling some people are to even consider the lives or health of others, as long as they themselves can get their 2 minutes of illegal "fun" in  | |

Under the Sporting Events Act 1985 it's an offence for a person to enter or attempt to enter a football ground while in possession of a flare, a smoke bomb or firework. Smoke bombs have the firework standard label on them will be classed as a Firework. |
Yawn. I hope you don't fall over putting your underpants on. |  |

That was a report of about 5 years ago, and you've still completely ignored most of what they said about the risk of injuries, heat, fire, stampedes etc.
At fireworks displays - which I enjoy going to btw, as long as there's a bit of breeze going so I can stand upwind of the smoke - people can choose either to not go, or at least pick a spot where they're not forced to inhale the smoke. At a sporting event in a stadium with still air, where anyone near you can set these off & you can't easily get away, it's obviously a completely different scenario.
Having been relatively recently diagnosed with asthma, I joined an asthma forum, and can say that even I was absolutely shocked at the sheer scale of the numbers of people having it, the severity of the symptoms, and the frequency with which sufferers have to be blue-lighted to hospital. Smoke and chemicals are freuently highlighted as triggers which set it off.
Is it really too much to ask that people restrict their enjoyment of fireworks to public or other safe displays, and allow people to safely go to football? |
No not at all. By that measure we should ban smoking all together then as I’m sure we’ve all inhaled cigarette smoke we haven’t wanted to. Where does it stop though? I’ve had to eat football ground food because I’m hungry - what does that do to my health?
What about the brightness and flashing of jumbo screens and those with photosensitive epilepsy? The height and steepness of some seating and the issues for those who have vertigo?
I completely agree if something is dangerous then it has no place in a football ground. I don’t agree we should have draconian measures though. We can’t even take an umbrella in the ground now because it’s classed as a weapon!? |  |

Not sure what part of "because it's putting people's lives at risk" you (and others) aren't getting. |
I have asthma and it can be pretty bad sometimes but I never had any trouble been stood next to one of those things going off on the couple of occasions I've been near to them. It soon blows away. |  |

How about personal family questions are not relevant or permissible?

Dolly doesn't mean any harm - he's just a bit slow sometimes.
As am I sometimes.*
