Perusing the Pitch Invasion photo pool, I couldn’t stop being drawn to the vast array of (yet eerily similar) photos of pyro displays by ultras around the world. Here’s just a brief selection, stopping in Austria, Sweden, Serbia, Poland and Greece.

Given I’ve unilaterally declared Serbian football to be in crisis, after a policeman was burned with flares at a Red Star game along with several other problems this week, I thought we’d look at Serbian football this week.

And why not start fittingly with Red Star fans, and their love of pyrotechnics? From their derby with Partizan, last May.
