Was it thrown? I thought it was a smoke bomb someone just let off by where they were standing? Was well behind us, if anyone had thrown it would have assumed it would have got a bit closer to the pitch....1

Was thrown yeah, made a nice little smokey parabola as it went over my head.
Pretty stupid thing to do.2 -
Fair few travelling idiots towards the back. Saw a bit of teenage trouble after the game as well.1

Trust me it was thrown from the back of the stand. If u think a couple just trying to enjoy a poor football match and a few others minding their own business just set off flares/smoke bomb for fun then your wrong.Alwaysneil said:Was it thrown?

It was set off about 3 rows it front of me. Initially I thought the person sitting in that seat let it off, but the only people around that area were a couple of blokes in their 60's & didn't look the type to set off a flare !! Golfie Jnr said it was definitely thrown but I never saw it land - but then I was SO engrossed by the game I suppose I wouldn't have - either that or I was asleep.1

That is disappointing, particularly after both games where the fans bonded for a mutual cause.Alwaysneil said:Fair few travelling idiots towards the back. Saw a bit of teenage trouble after the game as well.

I think the same fans who threw the flare were the same twats who then sung at the stewards/security to get a real job.
If you're going to be a twat and be abusive to people doing their job, don't come.13 -

Sounds like the same lot of kids asking protesters where they've been all season.cafcnick1992 said:I think the same fans who threw the flare were the same twats who then sung at the stewards/security to get a real job.

It flew over my head and landed a few rows in front of me, absolutely idiotic to throw something like that as you've no idea where it will land
Repeating something i said on the protest thread, I was also a bit disappointed with a few of the chants today, of the "that's why you're going down" and "your ground's too big for you" variety, they were a bit out of keeping with the occasion, and lacking in understanding of Coventry's predicament17 -
Haven't been to an away match this year . . in fact struggled to force myself to go to the Valley - but have seen too many reports of the type of behaviour. Just where do these tossers come from? Are they the same people? How do they travel - coach, train? If so perhaps they can be traced and emasculated. Or is that going a tad too far?2

Tossers in your opinion. Who are you to tell others who should and should come?

No it isn't. I don't want dickheads with no respect for fellow fans in our support.J BLOCK said:

Don't think there is much wrong with considering someone who throws flares to be a tosser to be honest.J BLOCK said:

"Idiots" would be more appropriate. As more often than not clubs do identify the culprits and they do get bans and/or trouble from the police - yet people still do it. That is idiocy.
Not sure how anyone can defend it really.

Was at Victoria around 10am yesterday morning. Going down the escalator, some dickheads behind me saying 'we've got some alcohol' then chanting Charlton Youth Mob and banging the sides of the escalator.
Maybe it was them?1 -
Was definitely thrown, went over my head. There was some pretty unpleasant steward baiting going on, I just don't think it's particularly big or brave to taunt some poor guy, who is probably on a minimum wage, when surrounded by your equally pissed up and ignorant mates. Chants of 'You're going down" etc were totally out of keeping with the mutual respect between fans shown otherwise. I'm all for showing passion for your club, but I find this kind of behaviour stupid and embarrassing to be honest.10

I think it is disgusting. We need to get these ar*****es out of our club. Nothing to do with the protests, just weak minded idiots going too far. When a Flare was thrown at a Millwall game previously, it just missed a child. Apparantly a child was hit at Port Vale yesterday. Apart from the dangers and risks, such an event is likely to severely traumatise. If anybody knows who this reckless idiot is, they should shop him before somebody gets hurt! I wouldn't want that on my consience.3

We were all 18 once.
I used to go to away games with two big feck off air horns. Bet I was well popular amongst the other 300 Charlton fans.0 -

As said above, we were all young once and I don't forget that when wanting the jump,on the back of yoof playing up. But it's a two way street and they should have a fair guide on what may be alright and what might definitively be wrong.J BLOCK said:

No problem with the smoke canisters as a rule, but do have a problem With people throwing the canisters, particularly into crowds of fellow fans. That's selfish, stupid and dangerous, and don't think there will be a single person that would argue that throwing a tin canister that is emitting smoke that could hit a kid on the head is anything other than tosser behaviour.

Maybe we could launch a promotional campaign, with a picture of somebody with a smoke bomb, saying don't be a tosser?2

I've been to half a dozen away games in the last 18 months. It's not a subjective opinion to decide that we have groups of tossers. And it's not judgmental either - I've witnessed some deplorable behaviour that nobody could rightfully defend. The treatment of stewards in particular disgusted me.J BLOCK said:

I'm not telling anybody that can't go to the game, but I can certainly wish that they wouldn't.8 -
People can behave like tossers to themselves and other tossers but when they throw flares or smoke cannisters with the potential to injure a child they cross a line. Not sure how anybody feels that can be defended! Fortunately, football can be removed from those it decides it doesn't want. It is called banning and I for one won't be too upset if the person who did this is found and banned!2

I was two or three rows up directly behind where this thing landed. Next to me were my two kids - 10 and 11 years old. Had it struck either of them I don't know what I would have done.0
