Any idea which set of fans this came from?? Wolves or Albion? Initially i thought it was Albion, then I thought why would they throw a flare at their own players??
Not seen a flare in a game i've been to before.

I have - but admittedly it was a Napoli game in Italy!
I thought it was from the Albion lot and something to do with that jerk who got thrown out shortly afterwards?

They're not very clever are they? Throwing a flare at their own players.

I can remember a wolves fan throwing a flare on to the pitch when Paul Ince scored to make it 1-1 v Derby in the year we got promoted

It was thrown from the Albion section just after they scored (??). Lord knows how they got it in. Someone in Security needs to be spoken to maybe?

I think they should forfeit the game and the 3 points awarded to us.;)

Completely agree.
Had an Albion fan moaning about our "scummy fans" about that flare. Glad i could prove them wrong.

Not a chance. Still waiting for Dirty Leeds being punished for the Pitch Invasion last year. :(

It's funny how if it was a Wolves fan that threw it they are "vile scum" but if it was an Albion then, "good on them".
They are strange, strange people over there:

What about when we did ' friendly fire ' with the rockets at our own fans.
I was thinking we should ban all Albion fans fronm the Mol because of this, but then again it will probrably be many years before our paths meet again now , with the exception of the cup perhaps. We are not in the same class.

I enjoyed the flare. Gave the game a continental feel. Shame it didnt hit Robinson in the face.

It was Albion but to be fair I don't think it was thrown at their players it was thrown onto the pitch as part of a "celebration". It happened to land in an area that the Albion players were running towards. The bloke was arrested for his poor aim rather than anything sinister.
The bloke that was arrested and thrown out at about 7.20pm was the one who made me laugh. All that time and effort to get dressed up in human clothes and he couldn't act human long enough to even see the teams come out.

The only "flare" I want to see on our pitch is Michael Kightly and him getting us the much needed win on Saturday!!!!:rolleyes:

I didn't think it was the bloke who got threw out who had the flare, he was too far towards the North bank to throw it to where it landed. Thought he got pulled for jumping the concrete wall when they scored.

Got to have been one of us - the only flares they can afford usually have sidepockets on them!!
he was aiming for the south bank but his throw didn't have the legs

Only flare we've seen down there this season ;)
Bloody hell a six inch flare lands on the pitch and there's a national debate on who threw it....can you imagine this happening on the AC Milan or Napoli equivelant message board....more like who didn't join throw one

It was a bit of a non event really. Just smoked, had it been one of those trillion candle power ones and burnt a hole in the field, then yes we should be discussing it.
The steward that got to it first kicked it under those wooden advertising boards... is that the best idea!?
