I've made some substantial changes;

- I've removed all that emotional claptrap about the Bad Blue Boys fighting for Croatia, of course many of them did fight and many of them did die in the line of duty, but if someone wants to write an article about them, they'd be welcome to, but this is, after all, an article about Dinamo.

- I've also changed the history of the BBB, the incident against Red Star was an example of police brutality typical for Yugoslavia, but it is partly the BBB's fault as they didn't have to run across the pitch to smash in the skulls of the Belgrade fans. I know tensions were high and that the Delije were hurling the most primitive and chauvinist insults, but people, that's no excuse to do what they did. As if they didn't retaliate with equally appalling insults. The person who wrote this bit makes it sound as if the BBB are the knights templar, but in fact they aren't very different from many other supporter groups. They are also quite homogenus, racist, xenophobic...

And that bit about their honour, defending the love of their club, their heads heald high... PUHLEZE! Rubbish! In translation: "Wherever we went we smashed innocent people's heads in, caused havoc and chanted racist and fascist slogans that would make a grown man cry."

This part was written from a very one sided point of view. So I changed it. Sue me.

- I've also corrected some gramatical faults. h3llbent

[edit] Eduardo da Silva

Eduardo da Silva is Croatian player. He is born in Brazil but that is uninportant fact because he play for Croatian national team. Therefore he is not allowed to play for any other nation but for Croatia. And that is important fact ant that is the reason why all players have only one flag near their name. Before he played for Croatian national team, he was Brazilian player because he is born in Brazil so he was Brazilian player by default but after one official game for Croatia, he is Croatian player. See for example Allesandro dos Santos from Urawa Red Diamonds. That is common practice. Jakiša Tomić 21:54, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

User:Joy shows me pages of F.C. Barcelona and Real Madrid and there are many players with double flags (even with Catalonia). This is inconsistent. Jakiša Tomić 23:49, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Display both flags but make certain the Croatian one is the first as he plays for Croatia internationaly. That is the convention.

[edit] That was planed

I can not agree that Belgrade Red Star fans provoke BBB to brake the fences and to go on the pich. Who provoke them one year before to throw stones on away suporters during Dinamo-Partizan game ? Who let them to come on the teraces with stones ? Who provoke Hajduk Split suporters to brake on the field in attempt to kill away players during Hajduk-Partizan game soon after ?There was no away suporters on that game. That was all well organized by someone with enough influence. And who provoke them today to go on the pich against Ekranas Lithuania ?

[edit] Name

Is the official name once more Dinamo, and if so, when was it restored? 83.70.110.198 08:28, 6 August 2007 (UTC)Millbanks 08:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits needing review

Can someone with more knowledge than me about NK Dinamo Zagreb have a look at edits by User:Sirboboss42 on 2 August 2007? That user appears to making doubtful edits on other articles. Thanks.--82.148.54.182 19:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
