Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45291695 Scottish football may follow others lead and look at allowing safe flares* into grounds. Seems reasonable to me. *please refrain from flared trouser jokes. I lost a pair to old age recently. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 7,044 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 There's not such a thing as a safe pyrotechnic, anything that burns can cause harm . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,294 Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 They manage loads of them in Greece and the Balkans without much of a problem. If everyone in a (safe standing, for instance) section is quite happy to have flares there, surely only killjoys would want to stop it happening. I loved setting stuff on fire when I was a bairn. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,693 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I don't see how anything that burns can be safe in a crowd. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
