When Wisla Krakow played at Fulham (Craven Cottage), the smoke was caused by the flares on my prior post, so I got the details wrong.
But anyway, I see the Daily Mail already is running another story on what happened in Montenegro: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3015247/Russia-vs-Montenegro-game-suspended-keeper-Igor-Akinfeev-struck-flare.html
We’ll see, the daily mail says “Shocking footage from stands of fan throwing flare at Akinfeev” in a video about a 3rd down the page. So, the flare was probably thrown and from right behind the net. Not a very good video but maybe they’ll get enough info through other ways to find the guy.
Polish hooliganism seems to have gone down a little but what do I know, I don’t live there. Greece’s Panathinaikos and AEK is suppose to be another big rivalry.

I’ve never liked the ideas of flares at a game.
How there haven't been more incidents like the Bradford City fire is beyond me with those flares.
Looks like England and Wales are bound to make the Euro, expanded to 24 teams. Pros and Cons with that I know.
It looks like Scotland, Ireland and even Northern Ireland have a chance to make it.
Scotland and Ireland are in that tough group with Poland and Germany. Scotland are playing relatively well after a lot of heartbreak in these last several years.
