Nottingham Forest - Fenerbahce

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Half the teams in the competition would get banned if that was the threshold.

Every other country claims they ban pyro when it’s clearly officially tolerated. UK media calls it a “ marvellous atmosphere” when it happens in Germany. If one English fan has a smoke bomb then it’s ban them for life. Typical hypocrisy.

I agree Sal, but I was refering to the total trashing of rows of seats in the Bridgford end

We should all boycott the barbers in protest.

Does anyone know what happened with the seats? Did it get done during the game, or was it afterwards, when they were kept back?

Security breaches, allowing flares into the stadium, not taking measures to ensure they can’t be thrown onto the pitch, possibly other things too.

It does make you wonder about the security staff we employ on Europa nights which appear to be very different to those we have in the league, Not sure why.
Security was ramped up last game too, scanning everyone now, didn’t stop a big bunch of keys in my pocket though.

We failed to conduct the appropriate searches, the expectations at UEFA level are much higher on these issues.

Perhaps to catch the culprits inappropriate searches would have been required.

Where does an appropriate search end?
