Pyro's

yep I saw that too. Picked them self up fairly quickly

 

What a game that was. Pure jubilation, happiness and excitement overflowing from the stands. What made this invasion different was that no Peterborough players were attacked (from what you could see and nothing reported). The issue in recent years is we’ve seen a sinister edge to fan behaviour creeping back in, with players being attacked and threatened. Difficult to gauge which way it will go.

 

my guess is that nothing will happen, like every other time, and then when season is over league will put out another statement saying it is wrong and if anyone does it again there will be consequences.

 

Should ban them and give the tie to Peterborough

 

Faux outrage at it's best. There was no intent to hurt anyone and they had just witnessed the greatest come back in play off history. It's totally understandable what happened and any sanctions would effectively be sanctions on "human nature" rather than for breaking the law.

I damn sure, in the same circumstances, the same would have happened at every single EFL club.

 

Shame the same couldn't be said about the Dutch fans after the West Ham defeat last night.

 

The dutch are an amiable race. I'm sure they just wanted to shake hands and congratulate the WHAM fans.

 

Managed to find it "Used - very good condition" for 2 quid! Excellent, thanks for posting information about the book. What captured me, was the quote about the increased availability of bikes, letting the working class invade areas they normally wouldn't frequent. Fantastic! Looking forward to reading it.

 

Or asking if anyone had any spare "cigarette papers". However, if we're going down the historical route, I don't think people from South Africa, China, Phillipines, The Americas and the Caribbean, might agree with you about the Dutch being so amiable. Hooligans - the lot of them!

 

I think they were after revenge after the West Ham fans did the same last week, not that it got much coverage over here. Not that that makes it right or defendable

Sorry, didn't see your post #208 above before writing this. Glad you've found a cheap copy. I've just ordered mine.

 

but we know that security at Wembley is rubbish, so no real surprise

 

Bet the ref didn't take the players off

 

Panathinaikos say defender Juankar was "taken to hospital for tests" after being hit by a firecracker during the club's Greek Superleague match at Olympiakos on Sunday. The Spanish substitute collapsed on the edge of the field after being struck while warming up before being carried off on a stretcher. The match was called off afterwards with the score 1-1 after 50 minutes.

Have we had any issues with pyros yet this season? I've not seen or head of anything. Last I saw was at Carlisle when 2 or 3 of the scruffy scroats setting them off got a few clips and headbutt off a couple of older gents

 

Just for the oldies out there. Which were best? Little Demons or 3-2-1-zeros ? I seem to recall you got one less in a pack of the latter.

 

Air Bombs! Little pointed red cone on the end, went up like a rocket about 100ft and exploded….They were the bees.

Arnt those bangers you are pointing out? Not much bigger than a cigarette?

 

Air bomb repeaters.
