A different kind of pasty
Piece coming up live from Rome on SSN
I think it would be spectacularly naive to think otherwise, given the long tradition/history of Roma fans doing exactly this to visiting English fans prior to European matches.

Just cancel all their away tickets for the Amex and give to Albion fans instead. Idiots.
Hope Jack and any other victims are ok.
Incredibly sad - but seemingly inevitable - that on the day we play one of the biggest games in our history the main focus is on the wellbeing of our supporters being targeted and stabbed in Rome.
This is 100% a Roma issue and until Roma and the local authorities demonstrate they can eradicate it, then UEFA should ban Roma from European competition. The next victims may not live to tell the tale of having a blade indiscriminately stuck in them.

Sorry to read this Jack, hope you recover quickly and get to the game.
Priorities though, i hope (I'm sure) you'll find a way to get to the stadium.

To be fair it might be Mediterranean problem. It happens a fair bit here in Greece. Usually people are stabbed in the buttocks but often the leg. We've had quite a few people die in the last decade from getting their arteries cut.
What English people usually forget is that football isn't really a mass spectator sport in many places. Due to the problems of ultras only the nutters are interested now. Normal people have rightfully left. It's an ongoing joke here to laugh at anyone who regularly goes to football.

Had knives pulled on us most days in Turin 1980 nothings changed by the sound of it.
Whilst i’m in total agreement do we know these were Roma fans specifically, they could be Lazio no?
Totally agree and it should be immediate.
Make them go to Donatello’s for a 3 course special
Steady on there Chicken!!
That's quite interesting to hear. I guess similar to here in the 70's and 80's in some way then.
Again has it been confirmed this gang were Roma fans?

History gives us a guide without total certainty…I was amazed at the number of incidents when I did a quick google on stabbings associated with Roma….one such link below halos The Sun)
