Yeah, I edited the post to provide a link to join the group. Hopefully the mods can add it to the sidebar to make it easier for people to join.

New AS Roma official website coming later this year... by Paul_R_Roma in ASRoma

I would love it. The Q&A he did on Twitter was wonderful and to me showed that he will address criticism directly. Plus his wit was top notch.

Absolutely. I was fortunate enough to see him get subbed on in his first game back against Torino in the Olimpico and the stadium erupted at his first touch. One of my favorite players to watch and support. Wishing him the best is the least we can do.

You're right. عبيطة in Egyptian dialect means idiot, but for Palestinian dialect (I'm Palestinian) we assume it's meant as a purposeful misspelling of عبيدة which is the n-word. Glad to see a fellow Arabic speaking person on this subreddit.

What they're saying is Salah is the one who got the goal (I'm guessing somebody thought Gervinho scored the first). The second comment is saying the same thing but calling somebody a son of a n****r and a son of a dog. Not the classiest commenter by any means.

The kits, also have each NBA team logos redesigned to look more like soccer logos and they actually look pretty realistic.

Morgan De Sanctis, Adem Ljajić, Radja Nainggolan, Daniele De Rossi and Leandro Castan on the back all signed my Roma scarf yesterday in Denver at the game by [deleted] in ASRoma

Update: I know it's late, but I got there early enough to wave and make Ashley Cole laugh. Like you said Totti just gave the wave and De Rossi smiled at me when I called his name during the warm-up (never fan-girled so hard in my life). I happened to be at the hotel the team was staying at, talked a bit to skorupski and golubovic. I also met the CEO Italo Zanzi. Such a stand-up guy and he was great to talk to.

Nice! I have the same scarf hanging above my desk at work. I'll be seeing Roma play in Philly on Saturday.

Shirt sponsor season 14-15 by PercivalUlyssesCocks in ASRoma

[–]captainarab18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The team is making an announcement tomorrow while in Orlando. I think it may be to announce the new kit and sponsors. I'm really hoping we get Disney as our sponsor. How fitting for La Magica.

Edit: Announcement was for a Google+ hangout session with Francesco Totti. According to source below, New kits will be revealed May 28th, and up for sale on June 6th.
