The ones in the video that caused the hysterics on here were smoke canisters not flares. So mention what the tips of flares are is totally irrelevant.
The smoke canister set off on the concourse on Friday was nasty, burns your eyes and throat and served absolutely no purpose, other than giving some divvy a video for his Facebook page.
It ends with Ronnie Pickering inhaling a amber smoke grenade like a bong at Dunkirk and then sparking sarge Steve out with the empty can.
I don't quite get the idea of acknowledging people are acting like ****ers but in the same breath defending their right to do so because 'we were all ****ers once' or whatever. If it's ****erish behaviour and we all agree it is why not stamp it out?
Flares are far more risky as they burn at extremely high temperatures
Smoke canisters are much less risky. They sell them to people to use them paint balling, at weddings and even when announcing the sex of a baby. Lower burn temperatures and non toxic smoke (even though it might be irritating)
Don't get me wrong I don't use either and can't see the point of either, and throwing either is bloody stupid and dangerous (as is throwing anything at someone in a crowd) but they're definitely not the same things
problem is
using them in a very crowded unopen space is kinda ****ty
using it in an open air field like paintballing, yea fine
Sydney asked "What's the difference? I always thought they were just different names. Can they not burn people? Is the smoke less thick?"
So I answered, I used to work for a firm that made both as a research chemist. Whether the smoke is toxic or not will depend upon the amount inhaled. I wouldn't recommend long exposure in a confined space, especially if you have breathing problems but I'm retired now so not really bothered.
They must be dropping like flies in Greece then. (Notice the bloke on the pitch orchestrating it.

A lot of good comments on Twitter from Blunts fans saying we played good football and one of the best teams they played at Bramall Lane.
Yes but more importantly what is their opinion on smoke bombs/flares.
Generally just complaining, but not as much complaint as praise for the way we played.
Maybe the best judges for our performance would be the opposition fans. We have favourites and can be a bit biased.

thats just stupid as ****
No one died, no one injured. Same size stadium as MKM but better atmosphere despite no roof. They set off smoke bombs and flares inside at their club’s basketball team’s matches as well with no problems.
Don’t disagree at all.
I was just highlighting the difference between the two that’s all.
