I see someone, masquerading as an Oufc fan,risked the club a heavy fine and possible other consequences.
Was anyone apprehended ?

Hope not it was just a little smoke bomb! Love to see that at the game.

Really? An illegal action is greeted with enthusiasm? Come on.
Really ?
Observation:
1)You can’t actually “ see” through the smoke.
2)You can’t safely breath in the smoke.
3)Your out of step.

Nah. The atmosphere was fine once we scored anyway.

One feeble smokebomb? High risk for little reward IMO!
Are you saying we should have had a hundred strong smokebombs?!

It would have made more of an impact.

No, I don't think there should have been any. And this one didn't add to the atmosphere IMO.
It's different on the continent and some of the pyro stuff there IS very atmospheric (although problematic for asthma sufferers like me). But both the idiot who threw it and (much more importantly) the club *might* be punished in some way in this country. I can't understand why a true supporter would risk not being able to go back and watch his club again? But maybe bragging to their little mates is more important.
Yeah, made it toxic for those with respiratory conditions.

I know, naughty isn't it.
I tell you what, sometimes I do 75mph on the motorway.

to be honest it was a bit pathetic as far as pyros go, not agreeing with it, just an observation

As a member of the midget community I resent that, you towering colonialist dwarf murdering bastard pig. Shitbag.
And your point is what exactly ?
Doing 75, in a 70 is actually within the tolerances accepted by many police forces and would not attract a fine or penalty, unless driving erratically.
Throwing a Pyro at a football match has no such tolerance, except, apparently,from people like you .

Pyrotechnics are used every weekend by different fanbases up and down the country. That's every weekend for many years now, there hasn't been a fine and certainly will never be anything more than that. Likewise with racism or pitch invasions, clubs themselves won't be deducted points because it's virtually impossible to stop an individual who's chosen to partake in something illegal inside the football ground, whether that be racism, pyro, pitch invading etc.
The individual will be rightly targeted by the club and authorities and punished for their actions with a prison sentence and/or football ban.
The club will not be deducted points, ever. It's absolutely insane to even comprehend. So we need to put that tosh to bed otherwise I'll be popping down the county ground to get them points deducted!!

I think they're actually illegal to use and even purchase in the UK, even outside of a football ground!

I did say *might* and didn't even mention points deductions. But why would a 'supporter' risk even a fine for their club by doing this? It didn't 'improve the atmosphere' - it just looked a bit sad. And why would you risk being banned from being allowed to watch the club you follow?

if you actually sit in the lower south, as your name suggests, what do you care about (probably) legally purchased smoke bombs? Surprised you silent, lethargic lot even know what day of the week it is, let alone what the real fans are doing in the proper areas of the stadium.

Damn! It’s late and I’m not as alert as I should be!
Pyro should add to the occasion aka a huge game like Swindon, Reading or a big cup game. Bit strange someone let one off v Wycombe at home mid-December but it’s hardly the end of the world.
