City Fan Ban

shemnel said:
i think this fan was treated differently as it was deemed there was intent to throw it at the away support, which he admitted to in court, so it changed the dynamic of the incident. Plus he was spotted, and many aren't.

other bans/cases lately are popping up, all very recently, is this a new crackdown?;

That Birmingham fan states in court "it was a moment of madness that I regret".
No it wasn't.....
You either bought the flare on line or from wherever you can buy one in advance.
You made the decision to take it to a football game and set it off.
Enjoy your ban.

Pity the Merseyside Police don't seem to have the same level of control over Liverpool fans who seem to have the freedom of the City to do as they want. Remember they just failed to apprehend any of those paragons of virtue who bricked the City coach ! Videos from inside the City bus and from hundreds of mobile phones and the plebs couldn't identify those responsible ! The disgusting truth is they never even tried !

With a worldwide fanbase it stands to reason we are going to go full on continental with all the trimmings.

The days of bovril and a scabby hotdog are well behind us sadly.

You can still get a scabby hotdog at the Etihad. With or without mustard.-)

What did you want me to reply back?

You fucking fun sponge You boring ****?

I went with the safer option of acknowledgment but really a bit of debate maybe, a flat no was a bit pathetic considering.

Personally I think it is a fantastic sight and atmospheric, doesn't mean I want the flares (or is it flairs) or bomb lobbed on the pitch.

Setting a scene before a big game leading a stadia in full voice is brilliant stuff, but then again, some folks don't like people singing or standing up either.

And if a young kid or mother loses an eye or is killed we can call it friendly fire.
Not a question just a different opinion so no need for a reply to call me a boring **** I realise you already think that.

I never said that either tbf I guess you had to read my reply in context it was delivered to the bland reply I got from my original post to the other poster.

As an aside how many eyes are lost on a weekly basis at Galatasary and other clubs that do this on a match by match basis?

I am not dismissing the safety aspect, I can appreciate the danger angle but then life is dangerous, a ball in the face of a young kid from an errant shot would no doubt sting a tad, for example.

Maybe I misunderstood.
The truth is people have died ,lost eyes and been badly injured because of pyrotechnics at football matches.

And they have been innocent victims.

The argument that life is dangerous so que sera, is one you may want to re assess.

It is but it still remains a true statement, there is no guarantee you will lose an eye at a football match, just like in any situation in life.

I pulled ut in front of an artic at a roundabout today because he stuck his indicator on to go down the turnoff that I was sat at, much to my surprise or not really as I drive for a living he came right round the outside and turned down the next turnoff, we had an exchange of horns and I consider myself lucky I didn't fully commit to pulling out.

3 minutes earlier a learner driver came round a roundabout that exits it onto a duel carriageway, lot's of cars take the inside lane and cut across to the outside lane on the dual carriageway to get the edge on wagons, she swerved from the inside lane to the other as she obviously hadn't mastered turning the wheel just yet, she was very lucky.

So that was 8 minutes of my day and I could have been involved in two accidents just like that.
