Has anyone actually been injured by one of these ? or is it just more bedwetting ....Makes for brilliant atmospheres right across Europe imo

Though seriously I do like them but can't see them being allowed in England any time soon.

Yes, several have ended up in hospital with smoke inhalation or burns. They burn at 1600C which is hot enough to melt metal.

It is brilliant to watch from afar, but I wouldn't want to be in the middle of a smoke flare. I'm not sure about brilliant atmosphere. I reckon the atmosphere is already brilliant without the smoke flare (chicken and egg).

Yep - am watching the Sun / Manure game too, and was thoroughly embarrassed to be a Brit when I saw the hooha at the match.....the Gerries must really fancy their chances in the next war, if we get so frightened by a wee bit of smoke.:shootself

Abroad they look great - here they just look shite.

That said, it does help pinpoint where the idiots are as they will then get a life banning order. Is it really worth setting one off to just be banned from stadia for life ?

Well maybe asthmatics shouldn't attend if they don't like it? One or two ruining the fun for 28,000.

1 in 12 adults currently have asthma in the United Kingdom, basically you're saying 2300 (bit more than one or two) people shouldn't attend because of something they didn't choose. I'm not against flares, this is the kind of thing that clubs take into account when banning them, as well as idiots who lob them, now THEY are the ones who ruin it!
