I'm no fan on flares but anyone else think banning an 18 year old kid for five years for setting off a flare is a little excessive? Give him a year stood outside the ground and he'd learn his lesson.

I personally think the 40 yr old should of got longer as he should definitely know better, I think the 18 year old was used as an example to all the younger fans to behave or you will suffer! |

No. You throw a flare into a crowd of people and it's got potential to cause a serious problem. |

| Quote: WazzaWire "I remember seeing a post on facebook (in a well known group made up presumably by kids who've obviously watched Green Street/Football Factory too many times) after that game by the same lad who had the flare, he was moaning about being kicked out of the stadium, slagging the stewards and basically saying "ffs it's only a flare". The little p***k seriously believed he'd done nothing wrong and was hard done by and that by bringing it he was "creating an atmosphere". Some 18 year olds are idiots (I know I was at times) but a 40 year bloke with a flare is just ridiculous.'"
Just went onto the said Facebook page and they are saying it is a disgrace that he got 5 years  |

See new picture on WG website. The smoke flare was definitely set off in amongst the fans. |

I'm 18 and am fully aware of the danger and idiocy of pyros. No excuse of "being a kid" when you're 18.

True...and if I remember correctly, 2 were set off. It was after the second one that stewards and then the police moved in. Some people just like to see it in "black and white" |

Good to see Wire take action, the same should have happened with the idiots scrapping during the 2012 Grand Final.
As someone wrote on the VT, instead of trying to shift blame to kick off times, the RFL, 'football fans' etc etc we need to start taking responsibility for ourselves. That goes for many other things in this sport too.

Football fans didn't make him do it.
Pub landlords didn't make him do it.
Lulu didn't make him do it.
Society didn't make him do it.
This lad is a whopper. End of.
He now has some time away from the stadium, to evaluate why he has "fluffed up". Hopefully, he will realise this and change his ways. |

True, but they don't really have an alternative. Everything they do will impact on the punishment they eventually get off the RFL. |
