Look at all them fatalities from the horrible smoke http://youtu.be/Ye4EVt5uTNs
Those pictures at the end are a tad overly dramatic. You'd see a thousand times worse after most gigs.
Has there ever been a documented case from a loss of life or injury due to smoke bombs in matches abroad?
Flares are a bit different, although when that's happened it's because they've been used as a weapon against opposition fans, rather than in the own supporters end.
Anyways, I like it. In an era where the FA and Premier League would love to turn every group of supporters into a group of generic, homogenized mush, all with their own plastic flags put out by the club, all singing their spiteful takes on sloop john b. ... That colour and atmosphere is fucking welcome.
I'm sad if a kid was hurt like. That's not nice. Keep my thoughts to myself about whether away games really should be the place for young children anyways.
But yeah... Bit of colour, bit of atmosphere? Great. It'll be stamped out sharpish obviously, but y'know...
