Roma News says it’s so.
I recommend night-long candle light vigils and as many rosaries as possible between now and game time. This is not a good idea.

VotD: Love The Pain. Need The Pain.
By: chris | 411 Comments
Haven’t the slightest why I must subject everyone to this video once a year. But in viewing it yet again, I’ve realized something:
Trophies are nice, but I don’t want to scream my lungs out – I want my breath taken away. I don’t want to bear witness to arms held aloft; I want to bear witness to singular moments of genius. The singular moments which turn generations into followers and followers into believers. Belief in the grand design. The grand design that in this world there does exist The One. The complimentary piece which completes every human being. And proof that it needn’t be a woman for a man or vice-versa, and it needn’t be based on sexuality. That sometimes, The One is simply there for the betterment of mankind, not for the enjoyment of individuals. I want these moments to reach down into the bowels of my lungs and rip every last breath from my body. To replace that breath with the silent screams of faith and hope and wonderment. I want singular moments which provide affirmation that there is a God.
If one needs proof of that I suggest looking no further than the video below.

Elephantiasis of the Left Thigh.

Roma 2 – Fulham 1
The English will have you believe this was about the referee. But with the benefit of video replay we have seen…
i. The intentional handball in the first half on the ball to goal was a red card and penalty.
ii. The red card in the second half was not.
So they cancel each other out and a penalty is left on the table. Pretty decent swap if you ask me.
(A win is a win is a win these days, right?)
GAME
Baptista skirts one wide. Fulham with one last throw, nothing done.
That, admittedly, was a pretty poor call. But Roma were just playing the keepaway game and it has little effect on this game.
Straight red for Konchesky for a tackle on Taddei, who sells it like Rodrigo Taddei.
Two minutes added.
Menez with a streaking Taddei makes the poor choice and shoots. Still a bit of maturing to do.
87′ Zamora goes to ground quite easily in the box, wants a call, none given.
Okaka goes for an audacious bike from outside the box and Schwarzer forced into a leaping save.

A Black & White Affair.
By: chris | 442 Comments
Udinese 2 – Roma 1
GAME
Cleared, and that’s game. No three minutes of added stoppage this half.
Di Natale skies one, one last chance to go down the pitch.
Brighi off after a great deal of running.
Finally, Baptista. How casual.
90′ Slowly play building back up, but this will take a miracle with Vucinic in the game.
And are we not missing a sub here?
