Just in case people missed it the first time, when Sheff Utd scored, they let off 2 smoke bombs. One on the pitch and one in the stand. Presumably that's CARD's fault too?

Gotta be honest, the smokes I use for fumigation are hot. Hot to the point they melt and I have to put them in an old tin can before lighting them, just do I can even pick them up and take them away after, because they take a good 10 minutes to cool down enough to be able to touch em.
The fumigation smokes are only to be used at the Den.
Well, someone should ask for their money back, as there's clearly still an infestation.
I'm presuming those out to get CARD at any cost found sheffields multiple smoke bombs ok?
They have been used for seasons upon seasons now for goal celebrations seen at home and away games (both sets of fans). They haven't arrived here just for protests.
I had a fun night on Wednesday, I went to see Napoli v Dynamo Kiev. I got out the station near the ground and there was a distress flare about half a mile in air. I thought that was a bit weird, but hey it's Napoli.
So I started walking up the hill and all these fireworks and flares were being shot around at low level - I think they were rucking with the police. I kept my distance but some poor taxi driver was stuck there in traffic with his windows down. This flare looped in there, the cabbie tried putting it out but quickly ran off as within 2 minutes his car was a fireball.
I was shitting myself to be honest, and I'd got a cheap ticket in their ultras. I considered just going back to my hotel. Instead I went to queue with a few hundred other people and a minute later rockets started flying at us. So a few hundred of us legged it, panicking, down some side streets whilst behind us these pyro scum bags launched fireworks at us or maybe the nearby police. Kiev fans were supposedly under lockdown so I figure it to have been locals.
Eventually I circled back, my eyes were stinging a bit but rather than tear gas I think it was all the gunpowder in the air. I then found the furthest, highest and safest corner I could in the ground whilst for the first 45 minutes a helicopter circled overhead. And I'm still waiting for an apology from CARD.

Or the north upper
There's enough people with electronic fags in the n upper, don't need smoke bombs.

So were the 'locals' attacking there own fans?
I'm still not sure. The newspaper whose photo I linked said Kiev & Napoli ultras clashed. Comments on Youtube vids suggest it was just Napoli v Police, in which case they didn't care the police were near lots of home fans. It also seemed like a couple of fireworks were sent our way down the side street, whilst Kiev fans were apparently locked away elsewhere... It's Naples so nothing would surprise me, maybe Rick Everitt knows.

It's a rough old city (well parts of it are) so not to surprising that there was trouble there as you say.
People who throw smoke bombs should remember that there are in the crowd people who suffer asthma and these bombs can cause bad attacks for these people.
As others have said, those of you who get really offended by smoke bombs should thank your lucky stars you wasn't born (brought up on football) in continental Europe. We have so many precious fans.
Never mind any other issues, the arsehole who threw that smoke bomb when we scored probably killed the momentum enough to stop us capitalising on the goal and sheff Utd being in shock and charlton scoring a winner.
Same for both the Charlton and Sheffield United smoke bombs/flares.
It's illegal. End of.
You can't cherry pick what laws you want/don't want to live by...
75% of brits are micro criminals. Whether its speeding, not paying for a plastic bag on self checkout, throwing things on the valley pitch in protest. I'm proud of you for being part of the 25%.

When the 4 minutes extra time was announced I heard somebody say we can get two goals in that time, which even I as an eternal optimist thought even one goal was totally out of the question. When we got the goal I thought sheff Utd were like a boxer who has just been hit with an unexpected hammer blow and were there for the taking and probably so did the charlton players. The smoke bomb probably just took away some of the momentum of the moment.
Getting a bit boring this subject now, Although some on here now seem to think pyros are okay but then they were deadly 2 seasons back.
Yep and a few years ago there was a degree of outrage about the yellow mankini lad who invaded the pitch. People were worried that Mick Everitt could lose his job over a repeat. Times change I guess....

Funnier though was some oik near me launching foam toys at this poor bloke a few rows in front for about 2 minutes, he didn't really know what to do.
