It's more to do with identifying the trouble makers than just stopping Serie A for no reason.

The issue here shouldn't be the Laziale's death from the policeman's gun. It ought to be why in the Bergamo there was no protection?!! Or why the ultras were allowed to stop the match in the first place.

The police are scared to go into curvas, that is why there is always problems there. Perhaps if they were to go heavy handed into the curvas then things might change, but I read that if the Italian police attack Italian people there is an outcry, but if the police attack foreigners then there is no problem. No wonder there is so much trouble in curvas.
BTW I don't think all the ultras are bad, it seems that a minority spoil it for the majority.

One big reason in stopping football violence over here was that they stopped putting it in the papers - the troublemakers (Who just wanted to be known as 'bad ***') were then not getting any exposure, people had no idea who these idiots were so they gave up on it. Obviously there's still a few people that do it, especially when it comes to playing in Europe, because they know it'll get noticed.

true, italian soccer has gotten out of hand, but i, too, agree that it would accomplish nothing. when people want to disrupt something, they won't stop just because you hold off games for a couple of months.
i feel like the gov't has lost control of its citizens and is trying to blame soccer for it...the gov't needs to punish its people...not the clubs.
Exactly, this is what we should be trying to do. Once this is done they will be dealt with & the problem will be solved. (IMG:

Yes, because that is a social matter & not a footballing one. In relation to the Atalanta-Milan game, yes that should be the issue but I doubt it will be looked into or that something will be done about it. (IMG:

Yes, the Italian police are nothing but a bunch of bullies, and bullies are nothing but cowards. They won't hesitate to beat up innocent/defenseless English fans but when it comes to Italian ones they are scared. They are right to be scared but even so it's their job, they need to act with integrity (which is seemingly too much to ask for). (IMG:

I thought there were supposed to be stewards in the grounds now, obviously they didn't show up either. (IMG:

Yea, the lack of exposure has helped in England. However (football) hooliganism will never go away, there's still a lot of it going on because the "firms" will never die. Yea it still goes on in Europe, you only have to look at Tottenham in Spain (against Valencia/Sevilla? (IMG:

Spot on (IMG:
