Why the F do people bang on about docking of points? When has that happened? There have been some serious crowd disorders over the years and there hasn't been a point docked. Stop talking sh1te ffs. you have a valid point in regards to it not ever happening before but what gives you the impression that it won't happen?we have already been warned about our future conduct by the f.a so what would be the next step? Also just because you don't agree with what a poster had written it doesn't mean it's " talking sh**e" so politely wind your neck in a bit . Ok I've wound my neck in now. I just wish people would stop talking complete b0llox. I don't condone the behaviour, it's wrong, it's naughty etc. However the scaremongering-as someone else has called it, is pure nonsense. Would they issue retrospective points deductions? Would it be a set punishment or 1 point per individual? The teds would be on minus 8000 points purely for games against us! They attacked our players on the pitch ffs!! Try not to get all serious about 10/20 old farts jumping about.

And while it sounds like I'm being anal (ooh err) by saying that, I'm saying it because unlike flares, most smoke bombs/grenades don't require a flame (e.g. a lighter) to 'ignite' them, and don't give out heat or a flame once in use either. The majority of smoke grenades are 'set off' by simply screwing the top off of them and then the smoke stars pouring out. So while neither flares or smoke bombs/grenades are allowed at football in this country, IMO smoke grenades are far safer. We don't really use flares at football in this country, it's mainly the nutter fans you see in the likes of Turkey and Greece that use actual flares!

The smoke things are supposed to be dangerous for asthma and other breathing difficulty sufferers. Yeah I can imagine, but flame and heat is dangerous to everyone. Not saying they're safe, but they have to be safer. I know fans have died in the past from the use of flares at games, a quick Google search brings up a few cases. Can't find any deaths from smoke bombs/grenades being used before, but doesn't mean it hasn't happened I guess.

I like the smoke, the FA, who regulate our Saturday afternoon fun don't. They / the law don't distinguish devices from what I can tell: www.thefa.com/~/media/files/pdf/the-fa-2013-14/pyro-facts.ashx?la=enPretty easy to get hold of smoke bombs and cheap as used at paintball centres everywhere where their use is tightly controlled We are mostly adults, roughly know the law and so can make choices, be that pyros or running on the pitch, but please do so in knowledge of the law and the fact you are being filmed. Ignorance of the law is no defence Damage our season and more than the law will be coming for you!

Tbf I've never seen a flare at a Rovers game, and there weren't any yesterday either. Laughable comment - obviously you weren't at the Mem for Cambridge game when the teams came out or at the game yesterday or watched the videos on this thread - you know what was being meant by flares - A moderator that obviously doesn't moderate

They attacked our players on the pitch ffs!! Try not to get all serious about 10/20 old farts jumping about. I'm not getting all serious I was and am contributing to a forum debate this is purely a thing of leisure for me as I like interacting with other fans hence the reason I joined the forum, I have also said on other posts that I do always f and blind at every match. I just wonder if sooner rather than later a club will be made an example of. It seems to me that like you say a few old farts giving it the big un ' are potentially putting the club at risk by behaving like belters even though we have had an official warning. Whether people like it or not unfortunately we now live in a society where football and the people are expected to behave has changed, not saying I agree with it but that's the way it is. Thanks for exchanging your opinions though and if I have come across as a prick I apologise. After all I only want what's best for the gas , like yourself and everyone else on here!!!!!! UTG !

If anything were to happen to rovers in regards to a punishment the culprits would probably get a bloody good hiding and people wouldn't be so laid back about " a few old farts jumping about" then. I just don't get what goes through people's heads we've already been warned yet we still get " fans" acting as if we're untouchable!

Laughable comment - obviously you weren't at the Mem for Cambridge game when the teams came out or at the game yesterday or watched the videos on this thread - you know what was being meant by flares - A moderator that obviously doesn't moderate I was at the Northampton game and have seen the videos on this thread - they're not flares, they are smoke bombs. They are not the same things. I and others have made the point about flares and smoke bombs being different already in this thread. And the reason I originally made the point of differentiating between the two is because this was posted earlier in the thread: "Flares? Any pyro burns with a high temperature, so you let one off also burning another supporter. I would hope that the person suffering burns would sue so that they are paying for their "mistake" for the rest of their lives, and that's after you have been in prison."
But no Gashead was in danger of being burned at Northampton, because it was a smoke bomb and not a flare, and if it's the type of smoke bomb I believe it is then all you do is unscrew the top and the smoke comes bellowing out. No flame needed and no heat emitted when in use. A person who obviously can't read?
