There was a lighter also thrown on the pitch. It was picked up by a police officer and handed to a steward.
I very much enjoy the young lads enthusiasm but there will be repercussions on the flares and lighter incident and I agree with Brian that shutting that area down may be the eventual action, sadly.
I did chuckle correctly or incorrectly when the Falkirk player lost the ball to a rolled up piece of paper.

Things like that are always going to happen at big games. There were about 3500-4000 people who don’t normally go to games there last night, it didn’t happen against alloa on Saturday.. it’s folk just coming for the occasion, not the regulars in that section.

Is East end exceptional in that it will have to have sections closed down.? Do you ever listen to yourself. Have a wee look at what happens at other grounds and think about what you are saying. I’m not condoning items going on the pitch. But if they aren’t brought in there Won’t be a problem and who is supposed to stop them coming in ? I guess those who light them get the fear that they are going to get lifted by a steward and the police, so sling them. I do agree that nothing should be throw on the pitch though, I’m not completely grumpy.it’s the over reaction and the rush to dictate what should happen gets on my goat.

It is a game of football no matter how important, but throwing stuff on the pitch and from I have heard at opposing players at corners , that is not on. Maybe the club should get this group in one night to have a meeting re what is expected when they come to a match, , and if not this will continue if nothing is done. Some if my friends sit in the section next to them and have done for as far back as I can remember and it is not acceptable to them having to tolerate last night. So come on boys/girls support the team as you do in other games and cut out the other stuff.

The ref added 6 minutes at the end of the game. I reckon at least half of that was due to the time we had to wait until the stuff thrown on to the pitch burned itself out. How exactly does that add to the spectacle or enjoyment of the game? Do the folk that throw them get some kind of thrill from seeing the influence they have on the game most fans come to see uninterrupted by off-field behaviour?

It was a nice spectacle and the NW are the heartbeat of the club, but it`s not going to end well for them if a few can`t control themselves.
Rather than even thinking about a ban, it would be good to see further engagement around creating a spectacle without getting in bother. I`m aware there`s work already going on around this but it maybe needs taken up a level to capture the harder to reach fans who may be more in favour of taking matters into their own hands.

Club can’t be fined, as the Old Firm keep blocking the strict liability rules. However, the club will suffer due to increased policing costs, repairs to the pitch/anything else that’s damaged. The police may also force the club to take measures to prevent this, demanding that sections be shut, banning orders put in place, may even prevent individual match tickets being sold for that section of the ground? I’m just speculating there, but there are still consequences to these actions.
The behaviour is unacceptable. Whether it’s one person or several, it needs to stop.

There is no doubt the NW is superb in terms of noise & atmosphere but where they let themselves AND the club down is when things like last night happen & it's not the first time.
Absolutely no reason to throw anything onto the pitch - never has been, never will be.
The club would have made a lot of money from last night`s crowd - what`s the point if we then have to spend that extra money on fines or pitch repairs??
There`s a reason the players all run to that area when they score at the Norrie end - the singing & drumming last night was fantastic - the rest - not so much!

Keeps everyone happy? Not really. Especially if you`re stuck behind or next to one of them.
Adds to the atmosphere? In what way? I`ve been to countless games with fantastic atmospheres without pyrotechnics and I`ve seen countless games where the pyro just looks a little, well,.sad. A 10,000 crowd with signing and banter creates a he`ll of a lot more atmosphere than a crowd of 1,000 with a daft smoke bomb. How much did the 3 minute delay at the start of the game add to the atmosphere? If anything it meant the chanting stopped and the atmosphere turned flat very quickly.
Dinosaurs crying over some smoke? The smoke can be quite problematic for asthmatics, amongst others. And the folk chucking them as well don`t help.- go onto the pitch and it causes delays (or as we saw at Starks Park a few years back, damage to the pitch), don`t manage to get it right and it ends up hitting someone in your own stand (as apparently happened in the away end last night). How are you disposing them if you`re in the middle of a crowded section?

What happens at other grounds is none of our concern and frankly, irrelevant. I know most of the fans in that corner are excitable youngsters but older fans should have been telling them throwing Pyros on the pitch was totally unacceptable and in no uncertain terms.

Pyro is an irritant to the eyes and lungs - it also burns at very high temperatures.
It’s also illegal for minors to buy or possess - then it’s illegal to take into stadia, regardless of age.
As GG says, irrelevant what occurs in other countries or grounds, what happens at EEP is the only issue.

Although your correct 2 wrongs don`t make a right. Celtic have had numerous fines for pyro over the years with their supporters getting fed up with it at I`ve point.
Trauma specialists in Scotland have seen a “stark increase” in horror injuries from pyrotechnics, including around 20 in A&E in the past year alone. Firework injuries can typically include severe facial burns, injuries which maim the hand, and even loss of vision.
This was from an article from 2022 I`d imagine figures are higher now.

How many of those 20 injuries happened in football stadiums by the way, and how many on or aroubd Guy Fawkes? Because I suspect that we would better reduce that number by banning fireworks in November.
Now, if there was a spate of people chucking smoke bombs into the opposition end or deliberately trying to hit players then I might see your point, but the notion that we should further sanitise football because we might prevent one or two minor injuries - these are smoke bombs remember, not explosive fireworks - is a very pursed-lips position to take.

The stat was football mat he`s and concerts. Celtic were fined £17k for pyrotechnics and throwing objects against Leipzig. If we get a fine even a fraction of that for the same thing which is possible if the referee mentioned it in his match report then the club take a hit every time it`s happening.

Looking at two similar size clubs in Motherwell and St Mirren, they both have their sections closest to the away fans, creating a great atmosphere but usually only have 1 steward watching them. The only difference being that they don`t chuck stuff or jump on the pitch.
Stop that nonsense and keep up the atmosphere which has rightly received so much praise.

My response to Wotsit’s post above would be to say, “get a grip”.
Some folk have incredibly short memories. It really isn’t that long ago that the Club was on the verge of administration and loyal fans were donating money to keep it in existence - every penny counted. And of course we’re really not yet out of the woods. The recent investment in the Club, whilst it’s not huge, has at least softened the blow of relegation: I’d certainly far rather be in our position than that of Falkirk - £1.2 million loss!! Jeez.
So to imply that moaners like me should “lighten up” and let the silly laddies have their fun is plainly irresponsible.
Don’t get me wrong, I totally approve of the support that the NW brings to the games and I admire their enthusiasm. I even like their drum! But the “see me” mentality of throwing stuff on the pitch, lighting flares and jumping the barriers is plain wrong.
If the Club is fined for the pyrotechnic incident will those responsible for throwing them be stumping up? Thought not.
To a dinosaur like me this sort of behaviour - as well as publicly spitting on the former Chairman or slashing his car tyres - is just not on.

Aren`t the banners and things funded by the guys in the NW and through contributions to the displays? Obviously still doesn`t make it acceptable to destroy things.
The guy`s in the NW are an absolute credit to the club. The singing always starts in that corner. Falkirk to their credit seemed to have a good group of guys up the back too.
It`d be interesting to survey some of the under 16s to see what attracts or puts them off coming to the football. I think my eldest is the only Pars fan in his class. The rest support Celtic, Hearts or don`t have an interest in football.

From some of the videos circulating it might be easy for the club to identify who has thrown the ones on to the pitch (especially the recording taken in the NW itself).

Brian is there?
If I had 30 kids, 4 years old in my house for a party and a vase on the table got knocked over should I be annoyed?
Yes this is a simplistic example but if amplified

don`t try and justify it with feeble examples.
4 year olds wouldn`t throw explosives

Where did chucking explosives come from! The reasonable discussion was about the damage to banner!

The young team obviously lost themselves in the occasion (I’m 42 and was jumping about like a f***y) and damaged the flag/banner but what if the young team whipped round and paid for the damage??

I`m a bit puzzled as to how this banner getting damaged is irrelevant.
If someone wanted to pay for the repair or a new banner how much should they send and where should they send it?

Its no irrelevant my point was if you break something without malice you pay for it or replace it no?
I don’t know who organises all that stuff but wouldn’t be to hard to set something up if the young one’s wanted to make amends

If you break something with malice you should certainly pay for it. If it was an accident then there may be other ways to fix things.
It`s not you I was disagreeing with, it was the poster claiming the intent was irrelevant.

Sorry Bletchley yeah something got damaged so some person or persons have to be accountable, if you hold your hands up apologise then fair play but you can’t just shrug your shoulders and say oh well

You`ve obviously never lived with a 4 year old!
I got in about 40 mins before ko and there was a significant amount of the NW boys in. Absolutely nothing should be thrown on the pitch, but the actions of 2 or 3 shouldn`t define the stand. They were magnificent.

It’s worth mentioning that it’s flares you know the bright red things you light if your boat starts to sink that burn at over 1000 degrees information on how hot a smoke bomb gets isn’t actually that easy to find in fact the only info uncle google seems to throw back is how hot the M18 smoke grenade gets it’s also worth noting that you can buy the type of smoke bombs we see being used on Amazon quite easily and the product description suggests wearing a glove while holding them as they do tend to get warm not life changing injury hot like some people are suggesting but hey ho now you know where the young guys are probably buying them from
Come on ye pars ⚽️

Distress flares intended for emergency scenarios are not designed to be discharged in the proximity of any other person(s) - irresponsible use in a crowded location is wrong at all levels.

Definitely much safer than flares or fireworks.

Tad odd how folk are are annoyed at the banner being damaged considering they put it over the first few rows, a silly move imo. It was obvious everybody was gonna plough over it and to the front when we scored.

Isn`t that the exact reason the banner was placed there? In the same way they taped off the first few rows in the away end and let people put banners over them?

Doesn’t matter, no matter what they put over the front few rows, everybody is piling to the front. Shame we never got to see Falkirk score in front of their fans..I’m sure they’d of all celebrate down the stairs n to the front too.

Whatever the rights and wrongs at the end of the day throwing anything onto the pitch is endangering the safety of players, officials, stewards, ball boys/girls. Throwing incendiaries is seriously irresponsible and runs the risk of serious injury to those described above. We are trying to win the league and this is a serious distraction from the main objective of winning games. EEP has never been seen as a dangerous place to visit for visiting fans, intimidated yes, dangerous no. Recent behaviour seriously detracts from our main aim to win the league but also damages our reputation as a welcoming and friendly place to visit, no matter your affiliation, for visiting officials as well as visiting fans, and I sincerely include Falkirk supports in that, otherwise we are no better than other less reputable clubs. Our team, management staff, directors and support staff deserve better.

Anybody bringing items to East End Park to throw onto the pitch does not have the best interests of Dunfermline Athletic at heart and will bring disrepute to the club. What age do people need to be to understand that? The enthusiasm is great, I was dancing about like a two year old myself. It was a special evening. There were, I reckon, many young supporters there on Tuesday night, who behaved impeccably. It was possibly their first Dunfermline game. It would be great if they all came back. I doubt if they were greatly impressed by the over zealous antics of their fellow teenagers chucking stuff onto the pitch.

When I said teenagers, I was talking about mental age (12 or 13 say)?
I did notice one old guy with mobility issues limping onto the field of play to cuddle one of our players but no sign of pyrotechnics sticking out of his pockets. It`s actually quite funny. He might even be Chris Hamilton`s dad.
