Fair enough. If he threw them on the playing area then he got exactly what he deserved.

However! There has to be consistency here. None of the palace scum got done for throwing numerous pyros on the playing area. The law applies to everybody.

 

[RM-Taylor]

How many of our fans got arrested for pyros last season? They was set off at almost every away game in the league last season.

Can’t say off the top of my head that I’ve seen any this season so far

The most shocking thing about this is that the Manchester United fan responsible lives in Warrington.

That pyro was probably the only spark United had that day

Now to catch the bastards who set them off in front of the East Stand at the first four home games this season

Can you imagine if we ever

My other thought was just how effective are the steward pat downs if Pyro is regularly getting in?

The pat downs are a deterrent. Get caught trying to smuggle them in and it’s a ban. The biggest deterrent should be the naming and shaming, the lengthy ban and the fines, when caught detonating/holding/throwing the pyros within the stadium. Immediate arrest is one thing but the thought of a knock on the door weeks after the event should cause sleepless nights.

The Man U 38 yo should be totally embarrassed. Blimey, he’s not 16!

Wasting valuable court time with an appeal of absolutely no merit. His sentence should have been doubled!

 

[Weststander]

I hope the taxpayer didn’t meet the cost of his appeal.

Take the punishment.

Very harsh punishment

Fair enough. Criminal act. Endangers others as has been repeatedly warned and discussed.

“…For Chisnell, this has proved a costly venture, and he now has no prospect of watching football until 2027.”

Bit harsh, I thought Ten Hag’s finally getting things together at OT

About time he grew up don't you think? He wasn't a teenager or lad, but a bloke in his late 30's. We all know you are likely to cop a ban for doing this so why was he so surprised at being banned? Sometimes you do wonder about the human race - time for him to engage his brain (if he has one) and take his ban like a grown man he clearly is at 38.

Or put another way should they even stop this in case they explode or am I showing my ignorance of pyros here

Whatever England is doing to combat pyros, it is far more effective than everywhere else.

He was banned from Watching Manchester United for a further two years, for which he thanked the judged. 'I'm glad to have won this appeal, just three years was too harsh'

 

[TugWilson]

I have very limited knowledge of Pyros , but the thought of one being ignited in the vicinity of children is terrifying , how could this bloke have lived with himself if he had scarred a child for life ? , personally i think he should consider himself very lucky .

Very harsh punishment

Is it? What would your view be if he injured someone? A similar incident happened at St.Mary’s recently and a Saints fan suffered burns to his legs from a pyro that had been thrown, ironically, by a fellow Saints fan.
