im amazed how flares are let off in grounds with apparent impunity. maybe all football associations and stadiums will take their security a bit more seriously after this.

It's the down side of Fifa and UEFA having one rule for the English and another for all the other European countries. Sorry Robert, but hey flares are cool and fun and atmospheric and just because you've been knocked out doesn't mean you've got the right to spoil European Ultras fun. Get up and get on with things. Unless this happened in England, how can this be treated as a crime?
€3 fine and can we concentrate on the national anthems being booed at Wembley please. That's a proper outrage and I expect both FAs to be severely punished along with the Poppy Outrage. €1 million each at least.

Is it only me thinking that was just a dive, of sorts?
It could have been bad but clearly wasn't. He got up to score two goals for a start.

This. As much as I think that whoever did this should have the book thrown at them, that dive was pure pantomime.

Can he be given a retrospective yellow card for diving?

Textbook face clutch.
Why didn't he just move?
Not sure. He was probably at a distance where parts of the casing would have been sent into the air and possibly near to his eye.

Absolutely. He knew it was there as he'd already pointed it out to the referee. I'm not saying the bang wouldn't have made him jump, or that he might not have got a bit of grit in his eye when it went off, but his reaction was, frankly, textbook footballer.
I do wish they'd all man up.

Yeah that is stupid and dangerous but my word the reaction is pathetic!

Flares and other missiles. Not to mention racist or homophobic abuse - isn't it abut time a country (or a club) actually got kicked out of a competition for this kind of behaviour? It seems particularly prevalent in Eastern Europe, and surely it must be becoming obvious to even the blindest of EUFA officials now that the only way Eastern European fans are going to change their behaviour is if their team is kicked out of a competition.
