This entire section is not backed up by a reliable source. The "Hobbits and Hooligans" chapter that you cited does not mention anything about Seaburn Casuals or Sunderland or Newcastle. The word "football" is only mentioned once. The chapter isn't even about football. It's a political science paper that just uses the word "hooligan" as an analogy to describe a specific type of citizen within a democracy. (2)
section heading: should be "History and rivalries" per MOS:HEADCAPS. Not really within scope of GA but should be done nonetheless.
First two paragraphs: again not verifiable. "Hobbits and Hooligans". (2)
"Sunderland AFC used to be noted for football hooliganism...": This article is about the Seaburn Casuals, not Sunderland AFC hooliganism as a whole. The article that was linked doesn't even mention Seaburn Casuals. (3b)
"Calls that led to bloodbath" source: WP:DEADREF. new link here. (2)
"At the end of the 2002–03 season...": Again, out of scope. (3b)
The stuff tagged with the blue questions marks aren't really a big deal. Normally I would have just placed it on hold and given the standard week to make adjustments. But the issues with the references are just so big that I have to quickfail. This article as already pretty short as it is, and almost half of it is WP:OR since it is not in the source that you cited.
