They are trying something, to be respected, however what concerns me is that they came out with the hard line of no games until a solution was found and these solutions are not full proof. Now after a week games have resumed and one has to wonder if anything will now be taken seriously. I think the fans were taking the ban seriously, now those inclined to cause trouble may think oh well, no matter what, they will never stop the games for long. I guess we have to wait and see if they are effective precautions.
Stadiums will be rated.

That article is quite inaccurate on this specific point...
It's harsh for a reason: it's referring to people resisting to arrest *using weapons*! Or also with blunt instruments or fireworks.
The change is just about the minimun: before was from a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 15; now from 5 to 15.

It's not that they have gone crazy, it's that they are trying very hard to control and stop the violence.
How many more people have to be killed so that harsher measures seem logical?
This sort of violence that not only disturbs and destroys the beauty and joy of football but also takes precious human lives is absolutely unacceptable. And it should be stopped.

maybe sounds 'crazy' but the government did that to make sure football is 'safe' sport...
i mean what happened when Sicilian's derby was real bad...sport is for fun not for chaos...
and people have to know that from all venue (stadiums) that used for Serie A competition in this season...only FOUR stadiums that qualified for safety standart, it's only Giuseppe Meazza (Inter & AC Milan), Olimpico Torino (Torino), Renzo Barbera (Palermo) and Olimpico Roma (AS Roma & Lazio).
A straight & strong laws needed to make football safety for the everyone who get involved.

Resisting arrest is illegal all over. This is pretty harsh though.
