Another shot from the EPL and no kidding it's coming from a Frenchman. Domenech and Co. will pull out all the stunts. Always blame the Italians, because England and France are the perfect countries to exemplify non-racism. I don't know what Saha is on, but everyone country on the face of this planet has racism and discrimination amounst it's population - it does not matter who you are.

Isn't it only the politcally right-orientated clubs in Italy where racism has been seen? As far as I know Roma aren't right-orientated.

Actually Roma is both, left and right, so is Lazio, but Lazio doesn't blend as much. Personally I'm more right oriented, but nowhere near Lazie.

Right wing! gahhhh
I always saw Lazio is much more stern right wing as opposed to Roma which has both, but leaned more-so to the left.

Not really cuz Roma was founded in part thanks to Mussolini (GRAZIE ZIO BENITO!) and Italo Fosci, strong Fascists. It's definitely changed, but not shifted all the way, cuz that's just impossible.
Also, um...someone tell Saha to blow me.

I know. Clubs were merged to form us and they were right wing, but as time has gone on, I believe more left-minded support has followed - thats all.

Ok, but Roma in general is still viewed as a right wing club.
Anyways, that was a good BJ, Saha, we shud do it again some time..

No that's what we call the "independent party".
Like, I'm 100% in favor of being in favorably against the legalization of banning abortion.

Careful. I made fun of him in a context that would come off as sarcastic and moderately ok, but the stuff he did to Sardinia is unforgivable, especially the reason why my dad is partially a Romanista, cuz of why he had to move to Rome (or near Rome), etc.

How does this come into the mix? I was joking with the "up and down" thing.
And to that note, I never stated Roma would be entirely left.

Mussolini did good things for Italy too. Let's not turn this into a political discussion though.

lol yeah let's not. I'm sure we some of us here have experiences with Mussolini and those times. I did have direct family having to serve in his army.

It was a joke, whatever.
Reason why I hate Mussolini (other than the common reasons) is that my grandfather, after being a hero in WWI getting shot in the knee by an Austrian in that famous battle who's name I can't remember now for some reason, had his knee broken and home trashed by soldiers ordered to go to his village for this one reason I don't wanna mention.
That's another reason why I have 1927 in roman numerals on my tattoo, cuz something important happened in that yr to my family, tho alot of ppl think it's just A.S Roma oriented.

Do you have a picture of it? I have a Roman-related tattoo on my back as well. My grandfather was also in the war and their village/town whatever was destroyed too.
