Good to see there was a measured response to the brawl that followed the Roma v Galatasaray Champions League game on Wednesday.

(1) "It is clear that this inhuman behaviour by these people, who consider themselves world-class trainers and players, that targeted our Galatasaray is incompatible with modern values and with the human rights doctrine of European Union countries" (the Galatasaray board).

(2) "The psychology behind the Italian attacks stems from Europeans being accustomed to seeing societies other than their own as second class" (Hurriyet newspaper).

(3) "This is very serious. It was like being back in fascist Italy in the time of Mussolini and not in the year 2002" (Turkey's foreign minister). A storm in a tea-cup, then.
