Some serious planning gone into this one! Trolling on a new level. Surprised no one got burnt.

 

[Spurrific]

Brilliant. Dangerous as fuck, but brilliant.

 

[mpickard2087]

That is brilliant.

Different attitude over there. Remember being over at PAOK for the Rovers game and talking to one of there fans about flares. Turned out that the amount that PAOK paid in flare related fines alone last season was twice the annual wage bill of Shamrock Rovers, entire club, caretaker included!

 

[thinktank]

Spectacular.

Now that's what you call 'sending a message'.

 

[DuDe]

Very, very impressive.

 

[THX2208]

Fantastic would love to see this at WHL

Maybe I don't understand how flares work, but wasn't it rather dangerous to cover 1000 or so people in a giant sheet of cloth and then hold two dozen flares through the holes in it?

It certainly crossed my mind too :duh:

[antiloqus]

With a really big sewing machine?

Idiots

You`re just annoyed you didnt think of it.

:grin:

The poster was awesome. The setting fire to it in a small area where hundreds of people could have been killed was less awesome. Each to their own I suppose though.

 

[mano-obe]

It's great that banner, that it fit perfectly for that part of the stadium, the right size and smuggled in under somebodies Naff jacket.

I wouldn't have fancied being underneath that if it caught fire
