I don't want to bear witness to arms held ... http://roma.theoffside.com/team-news/votd-love-the-pain-need-the-pain.html ones A much championed fight in the press. A crippled Roma lying wounded; a captain in the stands and another at the hospital by the half; an impromptu leader on one leg; a game with more dodgy fouls than rollerderby. And yet....
