Club Statement

[gogzy 31,195]

Its amazing how quickly they can get a statement out for the really important topics.

[RFCstuart 317]

Cue all the morons calling the rest of the support hand wringers and completely ignoring the fact that flares do affect the game for other people.

Stick to singing.

When were the flares? Or do you mean smokebombs? Genuine question.

[Inigo 32,526]

Stupid wee idiots sometimes. Their singing is good, their selfish twatishness isn't.

[BlueBeard 241]

Where we all getting the flares from ?, I certainly didn't see any flares, never have all season.

Got in last night right on kick off, only things I heard was loud bangers going off, if folk don't like that then batter in and slate the union bears for doing it, but get your facts right before slating the guys.

[OlegKuznetsov 10,816]

Chris Graham has become very reckless all of a sudden.

[Rfc#1. 1,877]

Meh..its hardly a pyro party but i guess if yer shit scared of loud bangs or the rare use of coloured smoke its a problem.

Why is it necessary to get the type of pyrotechnic right to criticise them? They're all banned and all annoying.

Were ye never young and a bit reckless mate?

Its just fun.

[Inigo 32,526]

It's fun to them, but it pisses loads of Bears off. There's wains and old people go to these games as well. There's a limit to what 'fun' you can have at the expense of other people.

Not to mention the fact that it's against the law and all it results in is police standing nearby, further inconveniencing Bears and if it continues when we're in Europe we'll get fined. Not to mention the eejits getting themselves banned from games.

I think they should shelve that particular form of fun.

[Frank Reynolds 3,359]

It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye

[Essandoh 21,207]

If it wasn't flares and it was smoke bombs then that's worse. How the fuck can that possibly improve atmosphere?

[MosesMcNeil 1,664]

I bet the Russian keeper Akinfeev was laughing his tits off when he was injured by a flare.

[6superbarry6 14,154]

Tbh I don't see the attraction with flares anyway what exactly do they add to the atmosphere? pretty pointless imo

[derekweir29 505]

Couple of flares ans they go nuts.

health and safety daft

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,540]

wonder if this will go down as "courageous policing"

[piperpete 3,186]

Think its a case of getting a statement out there to dampen the fine that will be on its way from the SFPL.

[BlueBeard 241]

Because I personally think flares are much more dangerous than a loud banger, going by your theory, if the guys held up sparklers and sang hymns it would make no differance, as they are still pyrotechnics,banned and annoying.

[raging blue 1972 894]

Was a couple at the start of the game and plenty of bangers going off during it.

and a few rockets on the park lol

[burnbank bear 342]

you would think it was a gun the way some of you's are going on ffs

[TMB 14,167]

It was just a packet of sparklers.

[Inigo 32,526]

Because I personally think flares are much more dangerous than a loud banger, going by your theory, if the guys held up sparklers and sang hymns it would make no differance, as they are still pyrotechnics,banned and annoying.

But you were making the distinction between loud bangers and flares, as if it mattered, not sparklers.

OK, I'll rephrase, I should have said what difference to specify between loud bangers and flares, considering they're both banned and annoying?

One is more dangerous? Aye, OK. One is. But the other is also dangerous and both are still annoying and against the law.

The distinction isn't very important. They should stop them all. And people getting it a bit wrong when describing which ones they're using is besides the point.

[j1mgg 3,766]

It is alright, the person that done it will come forward and pay any fine.

[theweebluenose 4,332]

The Board rounding on some of their most vocal supporters, not surprising at all.

[Stoorie 1,088]

Other fans don't like it or want it. The club says stop fucking doing it.

Next time someone is identified with pyrotechnics, the club should name and shame along with a ban. If he's a member of a supporters group, then our fans board need to do SOMETHING.

One fud should not be costing the club gate money. Because thats what it comes down to. A fine. Which in realistic terms is other fans money paid to the club.

Fair enough mate i just remember being a bit daft and reckless and not realising at the time the impact i had on others.What we thought was a good time now i look back must have pissed some amount of folk off.
