    I reckon I'd rather be hit by a non-heat emitting flare that can't really do much harm, than a bottle full of water that I imagine would bloody hurt.

    [cite]Posted By: Stu of SE7[/cite]I don't see how the flare was any worse than the bottle of water launched from the North Upper against Watford, the only difference was not everyone could see it.

    Think I know which I'd rather be hit by!

    Agreed - A bottle of water wouldn't set fire to my hair or clothes! ;-)

    I'm being serious guys, most modern day flares are pretty safe and would struggle to set a bundle of hay on fire.

    It made a good job of setting fire to the pitch last night...... Or was that just the smoke of the flare.....

    Red Handheld Flares - These are used to identify your position once the rescue services are looking for you. Rather like a powerful sparkler, you hold them in your hand throughout the time they are burning. The metal will become very hot; it may actually melt, and so always hold the flare at an angle so any molten material falls away from your hand. Once the flare has burnt out it will remain hot for a long period of time so the safest course of action is to immerse the flare in water.

    Bottle of Evian - these are used to quench your thirst after a heavy night on the beers. You may wish to buy a 2 litre bottle to keep your date from the night before wet as whales can die if they are out of the water too long.

    Probably just the smoke, all that hot air from Pardew had to catch up at some stage ;-)

    come on, not saying it was crime of the century but it was a silly and dangerous thing to do. If they had scored at the other end and the flare had landed near Weaver would we all think "what a jolly weeze" and "what a boost to the atmosphere"?

    Yes they made a good noise and got behind their team especially after they scored but that doesn't mean one of them is allowed to be stupid

    People know the rules and what happens when you throw things. you get banned and your club gets into trouble.

    I meant the rules about throwing things nolly.

    We have already agrred that bottled water can be extremely dangerous and perhaps even life threatening.

    Not denying that and hope whoever it threw the water bottle was got caught and banned as well. Stupid, dangerous and could have hurt another fan or the club.

    I'm pretty sure Medders got away with it, although the amount of games he misses he may have got banned, who knows.

    Maybe you could report him to someone at the club, for the good of everyone

    Do you know, I had a feeling someone would have to do that.... So on a scale of 1-10 of dangerous flags what are we talking about here, and do we have public liability insurance for all unforeseen events, and can I sue the club if they use the wrong detergent chemical agent to clean it and I get a rash???

    main risk was passing it over the small TV gantry in the north Lower. If there was a camera there for a Sky game and the flag hit it and knocked it over the rail he would do a lot of damage.

    The chemicals stop is catching fire if someone holds a flare or a really hot flask up to it.
