Lead

Concise, perfectly fine.

Infobox

Why are the British fans listed as hooligan firms while the Turkish fans are listed as just that, "fans". Are hooligan firms not as structured, or even extant, as they are in the UK?

I listed the Turkish fans as fans because there was no organized hooligan or ultras firm for Galatasaray at the time while the sources indicate that the British hooligan firms were the ones behind it and not regular Arsenal fans. Apparently, although it's from an unreliable source so we can't use it in the article, Galatasaray did set up an organized group called UltrAslan directly because of this due to not wanting to get ambushed again.

History

A very nice section, with clear explanatory detail.

Events

Any word on the sentencing of the Arsenal fans who threatened the Kosovans?
All else in this section great.

I've looked long and hard but I can't seem to find anything that mentions what their sentences were. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:46, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Injuries and arrests

You say that the British fans were released but forbidden from returning the Denmark; what about the other nationalities listed?
All else great.

Just placed a new source in that says the rest were fined and exiled. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:38, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aftermath

Excellent conclusion to the article.

Conclusion

This article is succinct, and very well referenced. I enjoyed reading about this bit of football history, and when the diminutive changes I proposed are made, I will pass the article. Congratulations! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 06:00, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
