• 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".
  • Reworded as stated above. Cal Umbra
• 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.
  • Reworded the sentence. Cal Umbra
• "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..."
  • Reworded as stated above. Cal Umbra
• "Dumfries based" needs a hyphen.
  • Done, as requested. Cal Umbra
• References should use WP:DASH where appropriate and should avoid SHOUTING too.
  • All references now contain "En dash" where appropriate and case has been lowered to sentence case where applicable. Cal Umbra 10:03, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
