Lukas Kwasniok (Köln): "Thank God there's another coach who agrees with me. I don't just dislike it; I hate it, regardless if we benefit or not. For clear situations: offsides, goalline tech, black or white: that makes sense. But not with dynamic actions. It just falsifies everything."

To be clear: the law is draconian, I don't want to see any football fan (even Carragher) punished for setting off a smoke bomb and I'd personally like to see pyro decriminalised. But if a regular fan were caught doing what Carragher did, they'd be facing a criminal record. Many already have.
