Catania-Roma 1-1, Parma-Inter 0-2…..Grazie Roma….Grazie Ragazzi….

For an hour we lived the dream and were Campioni d’Italia thanks to a goal from Vucinic. Inter were held to 0-0 at Parma until the 16th minute of the second half when of course Ibra scored. He came on and scored two goals, ending our hopes and dreams and Roma seemed to suddenly tire and concede the goal which allowed Catania to stay in Serie A. As I write this 2000 Roma fans are awaiting the arrival of the team at Fiumicino airport to thank them for a fantastic year. How things have turned around in the 3 years that Spalletti has been in charge. They really do deserve to celebrate a successful year. Hopefully we can win the Coppa Italia on Saturday which we really deserve.

Obviously the day was full of violence. Inter fans in Parma celebrated by trashing a school next to the stadium and injuring 2 policemen during riots (1 badly). Upon arrival at the stadium the Roma team bus was attacked and a window smashed. I guess it was best that they didn’t allow our fans to travel there, especially if the behaviour of those pitch-side was anything to go by. When Catania scored Catania employees ran by the Roma bench and threw insults at them. Catania players had spent the entire game trying to wind up our players. Luckily they didn’t rise to it.

Again Grazie Roma…c’e lo facciamo l’anno prossima. E Daje!
