Red Faction disgraceful today

Are we certain if was red faction that let it off?
How many are fully 'paid up' members. 200 if that?
Not sure how they could be expected to control/police the entire south stand.
I do not know the answer, btw

100% certain.

They put up a banner to hide under it, set it off, let it build up a cloud of smoke, removed the banner to wave the pyro around, and then put the banner back up again to hide who'd done it. The whole thing was very clearly planned, particularly as it was on the 15 minute mark to celebrate their 15th birthday

I did think it was incredibly self-indulgent to release a massive flare to celebrate their own birthday in a match we were losing.

Could smell it in the air for the rest of the match, I feel sorry for anyone near it who had breathing problems.

No issues with the pre-match display.

The whole thing was self indulgent, starting with the display, not a mention of Boro in sight, miserable lack of colour and the flare was a disgrace.

Love the support they've given the Boro over the years and some of their displays have been fantastic, but that was a massive let down today in terms of display content and fan behaviour.

I half expected to see individual members waving banners saying "I'm ****ing mint me like".

Yeah, will be hefty and the morons complaining about lack of investment are the same morons cheering this sort of sh1te on.

Hopefully identified, will then get his 3 year ban, and may not realise but obligatory criminal record.

Do RF think they've built up enough goodwill with the club over the years to get away with this?

I hope they are massively punished.

I think we'll all be punished. The club will be fined for the pyro and we'll probably all be denied the chance to see decent tifo displays in future as I doubt the club will be as cooperative after this incident. Plus I imagine there will be many fans who won't fancy donating towards them in future if that is how they are spending the cash.

After all the goodwill built up with the club over the years they've just widdled it away. A massive shame.
