AS Roma Season 2017/18

Great to see the curva in such great voice

Silly mistakes and some bad refereeing cost us

Grazie Roma

You were robbed, but a huge moral victory nonetheless

Yes, a great campaign on and off the pitch

Careful now!

The curva looked amazing, best sight in world sport

I’d prefer Michelle jenneke doing her wiggle

Another trophyless season for AS Roma. The wait for a trophy for Italy’s 5th richest team stretches back to 2008. The fans though can wallow in the moral victory of scoring a few late consolation goals when they were losing 5-0, the manager getting the Enzo Bearzot, Italian Coach of the Year Award and how great one of the terraces in the ground looked.

Looks like we’re set for another season of flogging the assets.

Alisson is the best keeper in the world right now and will command a fee of around £70m. I hope we can keep him though, I’d be more inclined to listen to offers for Strootman and Nainggolan. Nainggolan has had a pretty medicore season by his recent standards and I’d worry that his legs may desert him as he enters his 30s.

It looks like we will sign Croatian international Ante Coric for a fee of around €8m and we’re also being strongly linked with Anderson Talisca with rumours mooting we’ve agreed a deal with him.

The priority must be a centre half, a creative midfielder and a top class wide attacker this summer.

A lovely goal by Under puts us 1 up.

Great save Alisson.

This scumbag Daniele that you were defending is going nowhere.

An Italian man has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for his part in violence before a Champions League tie which left a Liverpool fan badly hurt.

Daniele Sciusco, 29, admitted violent disorder before Liverpool’s semi-final against AS Roma at Anfield on April 24.

Sciusco was not responsible for the attack which left Sean Cox, 53, from Ireland, with a serious head injury.

But a judge at Preston Crown Court told him: “It did occur during violent disorder of which you were a part.”

The court heard Sciusco was among a group of Roma “ultras” who had flown from Italy for the match.

CCTV footage showed about 25 of the group in Walton Breck Road, near the stadium.

“Your actions and the actions of the Italian group tarnished significantly what was intended to be a sporting and enjoyable occasion,” said Judge Brown.

“You and others in the ultra group were armed with weapons such as belts and chains and you were threatening and were being abusive towards the Liverpool fans.”

Doctors put Mr Cox, from County Meath, in an induced coma after he was attacked outside a pub near the stadium about an hour before kick-off.

The court heard he was now out of the coma but his condition remained “very dire”.

“The impact on him has been catastrophic,” said Judge Mark Brown.

Nigel Power, defending, said Sciusco worked at a large pharmaceutical practice and volunteered teaching pupils in schools and colleges to use defibrillators.

Mr Power said the defendant, of previous good character, had not drunk any alcohol before the game.

“Although the incident that we have seen on the CCTV was an ugly one, it wasn’t one that this defendant, at least, set out in anticipation of,” he said.

Filippo Lombardi, 21, denies violent disorder and wounding/inflicting grievous bodily harm on Mr Cox and is due to stand trial later this year.

Great to see British Justice in action

Yet when an English cricketer is caught on CCTV attacking another man, he walks.

British injustice at its finest.

You were cheerleading this scumbag and calling for his release as an Irishman lay in a coma fighting for his life because of the all too typical behavior of these Italian hooligans.

Liverpool fans started the bother, mate.

Why were you calling for this Daniele scumbag to be freed back in April? He didn’t even contest the charges. Entered a guilty plea.

I hope Liverpool fans have learnt a lesson

Surprised you didn’t have anything to say about yesterday’s court proceedings in Liverpool. You were very quick out of the blocks screeching for Paddy Jackson, Stuart Olding and Ben Stokes to be convicted.
