Watford Smoke Flare

Official Old Man · Oct 29, 2013

With all the fuss about flares this past week, including an item in the match prog, why was no one arrested after a Watford fan threw a flare during their goal celebrations?
There is a camera pointing directly at the away end and rewinding the incident should allow the police to identify the culprit.

It appeared to be the worst flare ever. More like a candle than a flare.

Details from yesterday's match. 1 arrest for drunk and disorderly and 1 male to be interviewed later this week regarding smoke bomb.

There was an arrest.

Well done. I watched the incident for quite a while and although they removed the flare, no one was arrested or even spoken to at the time.
Hope the person who bought it can get a refund though, was a damp squid of an event.

I just can't get my head around the mentality as to why someone would let a flare off in a ground when without fail it results in ejection and arrest. Even more crazy than someone running on the pitch, because at least in some cases that isn't pre-medidated.

It was more of a stink than a smoke bomb. By the time it had drifted over to the SW corner it was a horrible stench, nothing like the smell of fireworks or the emergency flares I'm used to.

I said that someone had thrown a bag of mustard powder in the air or sneezed a bottle or turmeric

Was the Watford fan mouthing off on the stairs to the coaches after the game nicked? Bit of a tw@t, "F*** off Brighton" numerous times, offering out old men, etc, generally being obnoxiuos, just wonderde if the 2 stewards laughing at him, had done anything

This doesn't sound like a job for our hardworking officers of the law nor indeed the Stewards who do a fine job in ensuring everyone is sitting down, This is a Job for Curtis Sliwa and his band of vigilanties (or failing that some one similar from the North Stand) to give said arse hole a good 'idin'

Surely every squid is damp? Unless set fire to I suppose, but then how would you set it alight. Maybe that was the problem.

I though it was a moist jelly fish tbh :moo:

Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews · Oct 29, 2013

not sure many people know what a 'squib' is, My understanding of what they are is that it looked literally like an actual damp squib last night.

A squib is a miniature explosive device used in a wide range of industries, from special effects to military applications. It resembles a tiny stick of dynamite, both in appearance and construction, although with considerably less explosive power. Squibs consist of two electrical leads which are separated by a plug of insulating material, a small bridge wire or electrical resistance heater, and a bead of heat-sensitive chemical composition in which the bridge wire is embedded.[SUP][1][/SUP] Squibs can be used for generating mechanical force, or to provide pyrotechnic effects for both film and live theatrics. Squibs can be used for shattering or propelling a variety of materials.[SUP][2][/SUP]
A squib generally consists of a small tube filled with an explosive substance, with a detonator running through the length of its core, similar to a stick of dynamite. Also similar to dynamite, the detonator can be a slow-burning fuse, or as is more common today, a wire connected to a remote electronic trigger.[SUP][3][/SUP] Squibs range in size, anywhere from 2 to 15 millimeters in diameter.[SUP][2][/SUP]
