    You mean their feeble attempts at "no pyro no party"?

    It doesn't really bother me as you get them at plenty of German matches. I find it hilarious when they turn up with a blue or yellow one at a BFC game though.

    We must have the biggest moaning fans in England , Keith hill was right

    It's not exactly slagging them off

    Really ?

    Serious question how did you manage to walk into any pub when people could smoke inside .

    And how did you go to football when people could smoke in the stands

    It's a genuine question because I hear this a lot and wonder how people managed before the ban

    Im with him on that I suffer asthma and I was right near the one at donny what went off last season didn't really affect me too much. Only problem with flares is when people throw them like the blades fans did week before if one of them landed in someone's hood.

    Quite ironic when you very often have a go at our fans when it comes to lack of atmosphere

    Smoking in a pub.... smoke bombs

    Yes I can see how you would confuse the two.

    A woman near us had to be taken to hospital last season after one was set off, despite being sat a good 50 metres away from it.

    That first one yesterday was awful, really got to the back of your throat...Sorry Loyal but you simply cannot equate that as being similar to a smokey bar/bogs....at least they appeared to arrest the kid involved....plus, as has been posted before...it is illegal to take them inside a football ground so there really shouldn't be an arguement

    I no longer go to away games because of the idiots with the smoke canisters. Home games i'm normally ok in the west stand, but sometimes even in there it affects me. As for the smoking in pubs, the answer is simple: I don't drink, so i never went into pubs when people could smoke (people smoking is probably one of the reasons i dont drink). In football stands it never really affected me, as long as i moved away from people smoking.

    Didn't you take 4.8 millions fans to Manchester before the Chelsea fans turned up and wrecked the place? ;)

    4.7 but you nearly got it right haha

    To be fair rangers support is pretty impressive

    Same as Leeds , Manchester United , etc, because they have supporters all over England and Scotland .

    Not many would take 6000 to Sheffield Wednesday for a friendly game

    And get 43,000 in championship week in week out

    Up the gers

    Where on our way back

    Well I've been to every away match this season and only yesterday we have let any smoke canisters off

    And please don't call them flares. You would know if someone let a flare off

    Yes both illegal but trust me massive difference in affect

    I'm a smoker. A heavy smoker, so I'm used to breathing in all sorts of *****. But when I was stood near one of those smoke bomb/flare things last season it really got to me and I was coughing like a b'stard. It's just not the same. For a start, as unhealthy as cigarettes are, they are designed so that you can comfortably breathe in the smoke. If they made them so you coughed your guts up as soon as you got a whiff, they wouldn't sell that many. Smoke bombs/flares aren't designed to be breathed in. I would imagine, on the packaging, there are instructions that say once you've lit them, then stand well back.

    Smoking is (rightly) banned from any indoor public place in the UK. I'm fine with that and I don't do it. These smoke bomb things are banned from football grounds. For obvious reasons, they affect the comfort, enjoyment and well being of other supporters. I think people should respect that.
