The arrests of three men for carrying and using pyrotechnics at the Edinburgh derby underscore the risk posed by fireworks at football matches. Police Scotland emphasized the potential danger to fellow fans, particularly those with medical conditions, children, and the elderly, urging fans to consider the consequences of their actions.
In a Nov. 7 report to SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, Texas athletic director Chris Del Conte said the school "reviewed all available video and other sources of information" to try to find the disruptive fans. "Despite our best effort, we have not been able to identify the individuals at issue. We will take action if new identifying information comes to light," Del Conte wrote.
In a recent match, Danish clubs FC Nordsjælland and AGF were fined 5,000 Kroner each after fans threw snowballs during the game. The Danish FA determined this conduct violated stadium safety regulations, despite the snowballs having no impact on the match itself.
