Well done.

[Ricey]

Chances are that Police spotters will have either caught it on camera or hopefully identified whoever threw it.

Let's hope so, why does the club have to suffer because of some idiot!

 

[Blueronron]

The big problem is those on here,who have the code you don't snick on your own, they will be first to
moan when away bans are handed out.
if you know who is , tell the club !!!

 

[Strutty the Shrimper]

Several bottles were thrown as well. It's just disgraceful and ruining our reputation.

The club put on free coaches and cheap tickets to get the team a big support in the play off run in. Yes they didn't play well and didn't get the result. But that doesn't make it acceptable to do things like this.

People keep bringing these smoke bombs to the games. It's costing our club money and you're ****ing it up for the fans who are not ********s. Keep doing stupid things like this and they will put bans on away fans. So just leave the ****ing smoke bombs at home!

Absolutely Ricey, too many of younger 'fans' think making an aggressive statement is more important than actually watching the game and supporting the team. 'Oh we got one over Shrewsbury cos we gave it large and threw a smoke bomb,'

Please just **** off! It's boorish, I'd like to think we're not into turf warfare, the old days have (thankfully) gone. I don't think the recent thread highlighting the old offensive chants from the North Bank helps either. I was there in the early nineties and found them great as a teenager. Now I've grown up and realised most were inappropriate, it's a shame some others seem to still revel in it:sad:.

I know it's wrong to be throwing anything but when the muggly home ***** are allowed on the pitch and then stand in front of our fans giving it large, yet the stewards do nothing, it can be massively frustrating to say the least

Ok, so it was their last home game of the season and they had just secured safety from relegation. I'm not saying that their behaviour was ok but you can, at least, understand it. Doesn't ever excuse throwing smoke bombs at our own players.

You can understand their fans standing in front of our fans, offering them out, knowing full well the stewards wouldn't let us on the pitch or stop the Shrews fans doing it? I can't understand that at all

 

[Rayleighboy]

On the flip side of all this, I'd like to thank the 4 young lads (early 20's I would guess) who were standing up in front my 10 year old son today 3rd row from the back. They turned round just before kick off and noticing that my son couldn't see very well offered to sit down or move next to them so he could see properly. In the end they separated from each other slightly to give my son a great view! Well done lads, a credit to yourselves and SUFC!!

See, the whole thing is pathetic.

People were on the pitch. A few (not many) decided to flash a few gestures.
People were in the stands. A few (not many) wanted to join them for a bit of fisticuffs and flashed a few gestures.
Some dick threw a smoke bomb that might have hit our player. But could have hit anyone.
Stewards and police did move those on the pitch away from the stands (particularly note the charming couple of ladies who came on after everyone else).

You cannot justify, unless you are moron, throwing a smoke bomb onto a pitch full of people.

I never at any point justified it.

You're excusing it.... pretty much the same thing.

 

[Chocolardo]

Stewards to blame. They let the Home fans on the pitch prior to the end. Obvious they was going to mouth off.

Spot on, first thing a ever agreed with you on

 

[davewebbsbrain]

No i never excused throwing a smoke bomb at all. I said I can't understand why the shrews fans were allowed to goad and give it large in front of our fans. Nothing to do with throwing a smoke bomb, which I'd never condone

To be fair they went on the pitch to celebrate staying up, a small number came over to our end at first but the stewards/police ushered them back and they joined the rest in the centre of the pitch. I don't think anything was ever going to happen. No one got hurt, I'm sure many worse things will be happening in the country tonight.

 

[Shrimper]

For some reason when we have a big away following it brings out the knuckle draggers. Shame.

 

[secondalibi]

Great turnout in numbers today, but some of our fans are proper brain cell dodgers. Unfortunately they seem to be growing in numbers and they certainly aren't what we need as a football club. I like many supporters go for the football, however some go for other reasons. I have supported this club for over 30 years, but these morons make me wonder if it's worth going. We are going to end up being likened to the likes of Millwall and we shouldn't want that.

If we were in their boat....would we have not equally celebrated...more as relief than aggression....we must've outnumbered "their core" 3 to 1....so it would've never become a scrap.

Further top tip for Shrewsbury stewards / safety chaps.....don't split your resources between two sets of fans ...contain one and the other will....slowly disappear :winking:

The problem there mate is that the teenagers are there now and haven't grown up yet. You know what you were like at that age... they are all the same.

I think even more so when Ron provides free travel to the under 21s. Least it gave the people of Southend high street a chance to shop in peace.
