They look boss and they create a far better atmosphere.
All the bores who go they've got no place are probably the same people on here scrambling for a stream because they don't know where Anfield is.
Grow up. There's a reason they're banned.

The look of them and atmosphere may well be great, but if you've ever held one, or been unfortunate enough to be under one, you might well think differently.
They are not just a few sparks, bright light and a bit of smoke you know.
They burn at several hundred degrees,(maybe even into the thousands) and give off sparks and ash like a f*cking volcano.
If you're unfortunate enough to be underneath the fallout of one of them, it's not very nice at all, as the ash puts pinhole burns in all your clothes, and the potential to set light to clothes and hair in extensive.
I suggest before you be an advocate of flares, at least experience them away from a densely populated and captive crowd, and know what you're actually talking about, before saying how great you think they are.
I've had experience of them in a crowd, and they may look nice, but believe you me, they're not one bit enjoyable for the people around you, who are cowering in all directions, to escape the fall-out.
