Very droll. I really wish I had the intellect to have thought of that.
Would you like to actually make a point instead of just posting one?

They are much worse than the smoke bombs we commonly see used by Stags fans. I don't know how they get away with it, because you hold a flare so it's obvious who the culprit is.

I doubt if many/or any of the ‘flares’ are actually that. It seems to be that officials are using the terms pyrotechnics and flares as a catch-all phrase. The only times I can recall seeing such items inside a ground are by clubs themselves prior to major matches or celebrating a trophy/promotion. I’ve seen (on tv) flares used by fans outside grounds, for example, Liverpool v Real Madrid.
