This is thing with hooliganism, football becomes an outlet for frustrated individuals and groups of individuals.

What can be done? If we all got together and beat up some Canuck fans at Melrose, should the Flames be banned from the playoffs?

Although hooliganism is a societal issue as I alluded to above, football clubs can find themselves in a powerful position. Clubs are like a family and the directors can start a shunning process, get Amish on their ass.
I'm not sure about the club structure in Italy but this shunning might be being avoided due to the presidents and directors needing the support of the Ultras in board elections and the like.
