THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[RomaShield27]

Oh, I dunno. Nothing personal, really, he's just not a centre-back.

Whats your predictions for the match this evening?

[AS Collie]

Well, I'm just back from a great ride to the Castelli, and I found out that my favourite pizza slice place makes deliveries and I can have a pizza, a suppli and a can of chinotto for a fiver, so I'm in an effing great mood.

1-3. And Udinese, Lazio and Napoli will all lose. And the whole Juventus squad will get a bad case of the shits from bad polenta.

[RomaShield27]

Ha, nice predictions. Er except our scoreline.

Anyone else have any thoughts? Lupa, Stefano? DCGweez? FI? And where the feck are Tuna and Pocari gone?

Official line-ups, only the one surprise from the Tinkerm... er I mean LE, Markuinho in for Pjanic:

[AS Collie]

What's wrong with the scoreline!?! I'd take it.

[RomaShield27]

Oh sorry i thought you meant to them. Quite ambitious!

[AS Collie]

Haha. I told you: I'm in a good mood. I'm sorry I didn't go up to this game now; I thought I was going to have a guest this weekend, but I don't.

So, in Roma-related news, I'm meeting this guys tomorrow, as I'm thinking about joining. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't mainly for the cool jerseys.

[RomaShield27]

Nice! Feck I might just have to buy me one of them. Or you can get us one of 'em for free if ya join? Tell them I'll like promote their club in Ireland and shit.

[AS Collie]

Haha, no freebies I'm afraid. Not sure what the connection to AS Roma is, but they're official. Anyway, the tops are class and I need to join a club, so it might as well be that one. DE ROSSI!!!!! HE JUST SCORED.

[AS Collie]

Cheeky deflection from Osvaldo. But I prefer Daniele, so I'm giving it to him. 0-1.

[RomaShield27]

lol. Yeh we totally deserved that goal, like. Ha. Quite a poor performance so far, but we're ahead thanks to Milan's ineptitude. We'll take it.

[RomaShield27]

What a shit performance. Fuck sake. Its just over so i need to walk away and go kick something, but fuck sake. What was with LE's sub taking off Gago? That didn't make any sense to me, leaving us with Marquinho and a not fully fit Pjanic to help DDR. It left space in midfield for them to do things like kick the ball over the top.

Whatever about Kjaer's positioning, I'm furious he didn't try to challenge for the header when Ibra knocked it in. Ibra stood in front of him to try protect the ball, naturally, but he could have jumped and tried get his head to it. Even jump on/over the cunt and put him off. Might be risking a peno, yes, but you can't just stand there watch him nod it in so easily from two fucking yards out.

[stefano]

[AS Collie]

Don't think so, but maybe I'll let you borrow my Totti helmet sometime

The game will be tough to watch.

[stefano]

So I've gathered from the general tone around here. Tell your club to get on the leather jacket.

Milan-Roma LE PAGELLE DEI QUOTIDIANI: Non basta solo un super Stekelenburg
/ Domenica 25 Marzo 2012 07:37

(redazione ForzaRoma.info) Stekelenburg para ma non basta. Osvaldo, solo il gol. Kjaer, l’erroraccio costa troppo caro. Ecco i voti dei quotidiani presi in esame

[forzaitalia]

Not the best set of ratings, it must be said!

[DonSimon]

Saw one tweet after the Dane's disaster that just said "Kjaernobyl". Summed it up nicely. I wish LE was more like Uncle Monty. "I will never play.... the Dane."

[AS Collie]

haha! Uncle Monty, brilliant. One of my favourite films.

At the end of the season, he'll deffo be saying: Alas, I have little more than vintage wine and memories.

[RomaShield27]

This kid ain't bad. Check out Florenzi's overhead goal for Crotone (2:20 min):

[RomaShield27]

Borini out for two-three weeks with a hamstring strain. Lobont suffered dodgy ginocchio ligament damage and is out for four-six weeks.

As Roma: "Borini fuori due-tre settimane, Lobont almeno un mese. Per Totti nessuna lesione"

Attraverso il proprio sito, la Roma ha comunicato quanto segue: Da esami strumentali è emerso che durante l'allenamento di venerdì Lobont ha subìto una distorsione al ginocchio sinistro con lesione al legamento collaterale mediale. La prognosi è di quattro-sei settimane.

Borini è invece stato sottoposto a esami ecografici che hanno evidenziato una lesione di primo grado al bicipite femorale sinistro. La prognosi è di due-tre settimane. Entrambi i calciatori hanno già iniziato il percorso riabilitativo.

Totti ha eseguito una ecografia di controllo che non ha evidenziato lesion.

Latest video from Ermes79 highlight a few contentious decisions from the game the weekend. Don't know if I'm fully convinced myself:

Also, a shout to Imran's new Roma site – – which he and a few who you may know from twitter and other places have put together. Its looks good, could be a good place for Roma news in English. Plus, should give Colly some incentive to get the finger out and get cracking on his site.
