I don't know if anyone was at risk, as St James' is no longer made of wood, but it looked as though there was a fire at the back of the stand.
And we thought perhaps the burger stalls at the rear of the Gallowgate could have caught fire.
The smell - 140yds away in the Leazes - was unbelievable, so they must have been powerful fireworks.
The problem is - UEFA officials (who attend all European fixtures) - are in their rights to fine Newcastle United.
I'm sure there will be more on this story.
