FYI
Flares produce bright light for signaling, while smoke bombs produce colored smoke for recreation or obscuring vision. Flares generate intense heat and light, and are often used for emergencies, whereas smoke bombs are a type of firework that disperses smoke.
Flares
Purpose: Flares are designed to emit bright light for signaling or illumination, such as for distress calls at sea or by law enforcement.
Function: They produce a strong light without an explosion, creating a very hot flame.
Hazard: Due to their high temperatures, hand-held flares present a significant fire and heat hazard.
Smoke Bombs
Purpose: Smoke bombs are used for creating a cloud of colored smoke for recreational activities like paintball or war games, or for obscuring vision.
Function: They release large amounts of colored smoke, often with chemicals like zinc chloride, zinc oxide, or hexachloroethane.
Hazard: Inhaling the smoke from a smoke bomb can be dangerous and cause lung injury.
Key Differences at a Glance
Output: Flares produce light; smoke bombs produce smoke.
Primary Use: Flares are for signaling and illumination; smoke bombs are for visual effects or concealment.
Hazard Focus: Flares pose a fire and heat risk; smoke bombs can be harmful if inhaled. |  | | |

Silly typo in that article. Pouring when it should be poring. Usual reliance on spell check. Or just ignorant. | | | |

This is really important.
If people continue to talk about taking flares to football, some idiot is going to take a marine distress flare to a match, again.
This happened, and mustn't be forgotten:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-24931711
One of the most frightening aspects about this is that the fan who was killed was on the opposite side of the pitch, and the flare was still able to cause horrendous, catastrophic chest injuries at that distance from those who had let it off.
So a plea to everyone: Please don't ever talk about flares in the context of football, because one day another idiot will see an unused flare somewhere and think "Everyone said they want flares at the football to create an atmosphere! I'm going to be a legend!"
And correct people if they do use the word. | | | |

While it is important and I myself was corrected on Twitter recently when calling it out, The fact remains. It shouldn't have been thrown onto the pitch regardless of what they actually are.
Nothing should. And the fact they were just show how mindless some of our fans really are. Hope they find the idiots and ban them. Club must be very frustrated seeing as it looks like we could be fined for it. | | | |

So apart from being concerned about the object, and it doesn't matter what it was, nearly hitting our own player, who happens to be hitting a rich vein of form and might have removed him from forthcoming matches , or worse, you've gone down the route of 'educating' us non flare/smoke bomb users on the differences, which are very interesting, just not required in this context.

I just think it's important people realise what they are saying, for the reasons posted above by ArnoldMoorhen.
Its misinformation almost, and could be very dangerous | | | |

I dont care what it was or what its proper name is, it was chucked at our own players and it was clearly creating some kind of flame
Unless people really do think its just a tube with all the smoke pre packed that just magically appears No its a chemical reaction from an ignition heat source, which means it gets hot and can combust the packaging.
And if we want to get really technical about it they're illegal to even possess at a football ground without permission, the sporting events act of 1985 look it up, let alone set it off, let alone chuck it at people or players on the pitch.
Clearly security werent doing their job properly at the north stand.
And obviously if its no big deal,the idiots that did it won't have any problems if they fess up to it...will they. | | | |

Both issues matter.
Throwing things onto the pitch is never a good idea. Players have been hurt, matches have been abandoned.
Letting off a Marine Distress Flare in a crowded environment can actually kill people.
There's room for both points to be made. | | | |

And then clubs might feel the need to make more intrusive searches of fans entering the ground, resulting in more frustration. |  |

I think we all know it wasn't chucked AT our player, it ended up in the direct of JP, but nobody in that moment, with the movement of bodies around, would have such an aim.
My guess would be it was lobbed in excitement (stupidly, really stupidly) and whoever it was will be pretty worried right now.
Personally I think if it were me I'd be going to the club to admit my mistake. Show genuine remorse (if they feel it) | | | |

Strange how they’re even conflating flares and smoke bombs in that piece. Not that either should be thrown onto the pitch. |  |
