Actually it notoriously happens a lot in Bundesliga/Serie A and Turkish games. Fans will chuck flares on the pitch in celebration of a goal. No one get's hurt.

Wolves done it at posh aswell, it's just a bit of fun.

My all time favourite, has gotta be Eskisehirspor protesting the FA ban on flares by using a massive "Troll Face" banner and lighting flares under it.

I don't understand why people are getting so worked up about it, aslong as its controlled and no one gets hurt by it, it's just a little bit of fun? :ayatollah:

I have seen it on the pitch often in Europe but it doesn't do much harm just builds a reputation for us I guess.

If its such good fun and causes no harm why don't the kids throwing them throw them at each other and not involve anyone else that should be hilarious

He will get prison too, 2 chelsea fans went to prison for just bringing one into the liberty, and not even letting it off.

I was in the seated area and there were OB videoing everything going on in the standing end so I would imagine the culprit(s) will get sorted out
