Comments

  • In the lead you have some sentences/paragraphs referenced, some others not. Why? Ordinarily a lead shouldn't contain information that isn't expanded on in the main article (so in general a lead needs no refs at all).
    • I have removed two references from the lead and left one which refers to the sponsorship name. Cal Umbra
  • "second appearance in the final of the tournament since losing" do you mean second appearance or first appearance since losing? Or perhaps "second appearance ... having lost..."?
    • I reworded to "having lost" as it is the club's second appearance in a cup final ever. Cal Umbra
  • " game and scored the first goal in the 33rd minute from John O'Neill" -> "game with John O'Neill scoring the first goal in the 33rd minute".
  • Be aware of football jargon like "header"... we have a glossary of terms you could hashlink to specific sections as required.
    • I have linked "header", "substitution" and "corner kick" to relevant articles. Cal Umbra
  • The lead you refer to it as using "elimination rounds" but the main article states (and links) it to be a "knock-out" tournament. Would try to be consistent here.
    • Changed to "knock-out" for consistency. Cal Umbra
  • "28 of the teams " avoid starting sentences with a number.
  • "two received random byes into the second round" is this referenced anywhere?
    • Provided a reference which mentions this. Cal Umbra
  • "produce a shock" is that a quote? To stay neutral I'd ask for a reference or attributable quotation here.
    • Quoted "shock" and referenced to where it is mentioned. Cal Umbra
  • "The stadium had played host to" -> "The stadium hosted..."
  • "Dumfries based" needs a hyphen.
  • References should use WP:DASH where appropriate and should avoid SHOUTING too.
