    So we could have a problem if they cover the seats in woollen fleece at the KC and the police and stewards miss anyone carrying welding equipment into the game? Meanwhile, in the real world...

    You're easily my least favourite poster on this board.

    Which is a shame, because I used to think you were alright, but you seem to want to be a deliberate **** now.

    There's a lot of wasters who post on here too, so well done.

    Your comment above - so very grey. If you're married, your wife is gonna have an affair. She must be so bored.

    Oh the irony...

    A fan protest over the use of flares at football matches in Germany went horribly wrong at the weekend - after several banners caught fire and five supporters suffered burns.
    The protest - which was supposed to rail against a number of repressive measures being brought in by the German Football League to make stadia safer places - was organised by members of Hamburg supporters' club 'The Chosen Few'.
    Masked fans made the defiant gesture by lighting flares in the away section of the Espirit Arena prior to kick-off in the Bundesliga match against Fortuna Dusseldorf.
    But the protest did not go entirely as planned, as four banners burst into flames, causing what one eyewitness described as "the beginnings of a mass panic" in the stands - exactly what the new measures have been introduced to stop.
    Even a 12-year-old flag went down in the blaze, leaving some fans in tears - the organisation's terms of association states that if one of their sacred banners are destroyed, the club must be disbanded. However, it was later agreed the club should remain intact as the cause of destruction was an accident.
    Nevertheless, it turned out to be a bad day for Hamburg, as the team went on to lose 2-0.
    The club, currently sitting 10th in the Bundesliga, now face a five-figure fine and chairman Carl-Edgar Jarchow promised those responsible would be identified and punished.
    Players were equally unimpressed by the behaviour of the fans, with midfielder Maximilian Beister saying: "Many ultras demand the legal right to use flares. But if you behave in this way, you don't have to be surprised that it won't be allowed. That was unbelievably disappointing."

    Ironically, the botched protest may well have played right into the DFL's lap, with the hardcore supporters' group apparently now considering re-thinking their stance on the use of flares.
    "We are shocked about the extent of this severe incident," the Chosen Few said in a statement. "This action has shown us that (pyrotechnics) don't work LIKE THAT."
    Before the weekend, their standpoint had been markedly different, with their website stating: "The DFL has come up with a delightful-sounding concept called 'sicheres Stadionerlebnis' (safe stadium experience).
    "This concept/plan contains demands that interfere deeply with the rights and dignity of football fans.
    "If the plan is accepted, football will no longer be what it is today. The DFL wants to kill off fan culture."
    Apparently not before the fans kill off themselves first.

    Have to admit, towards the end of that clip I was wondering when one of the big flags would catch fire with being waved in amidst all the flares.

    You show that someone indeed is, making out that a welding spark onto a fleece covered seat is a similar risk to a smoke bomb on a match day.

    Seriously? You would want to see that at the KC! drummers and everything how about marching bands and fire breathing tigers on the sidelines? Jesus Christ sing your lungs out at the game, I'm all for that but when you start doing choreographed card holding up and flares everywhere then that's just bloody silly and quite frankly the whole think comes across as very gay!

    That's a shame. Its a shame you think being a racist Pole, who likes setting off flares in a packed terrace is exciting.

    I checked with the missus, who laughed, and said no, she's quite happy with me the way I am, and that watching me do some DIY involving electric or sharp things is more excitement than she needs. I should start a thread on my DIY exploits really. 28 years we've been wed, and thats without setting off flares, smoke bombs or acting like a **** at footy games. Maybe that's where you're going wrong lad?

    Anyhoo, read HHH's post, explains why I think copying other countries and trying to change the game in England to match them is frankly ****ing stupid. Also, the atmosphere, for us at least, was pretty fab today, no flares required.
