Nastro Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Where did they go? Losing to Shagpile Doner tonight. Heavens above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Roma are a minter in Europe. Jim McLean famously put a curse on them in the 80s. Karma does not have an expiry date. Sleep well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Worth noting that Shakhtar also beat Man City, Napoli and Feyenoord at home as well. A 2-1 loss is not a bad result for Roma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Roma started well and created a few chances. Dzekos assist for the goal was brilliant. Maybe they thought 1-0 would be enough to go back to rome with. They let shaktar back into it and from then on in it looked like there would only be one winner. Absolute peach of a free kick to win it, but roma are still in it. Going to be an interesting 2nd leg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Being a bit harsh, I think. Losing 2-1 to Shaktar in Ukraine in February in a first leg is a decent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karma does not have an expiry date. Sleep well. Last time I went over to see Lazio, got speaking to a fella who had a Saltire on display (have seen quite a few Lion Rampant's as well) and asked him why he had it, after a lengthy discussion about Braveheart he mentioned the whole Dundee United Semi Final tie. Must admit never realised the scale of the whole incident until reading up on it recently. Absolutely mad. Were any on P&B at the second leg?

senorsoupe Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Erm, Shakhtar are a very good team and the Ukranian league is a pretty strong league (ranked 8th in Europe) so Roma losing there isn't a particularly shocking result. Also worth noting that Shakhtar's UEFA coefficient is 87.526 while Roma's is 53.666. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakhtar (though not one of the "big guns") would give anyone in the CL a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They beat Schalke in the Europa League in 2015-16 on their way to the semi-final but haven't knocked out any of the mega teams recently. They did however beat Chelsea in the group stages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Given Shakhtar slapped them about previously, the result last night is a good one for Roma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they did it twice. "Il Il Parma" doesn't work quite as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
