I know a lot of people are blocked from certain sites at work and thus unable to see games, so we’re going to try something fancy. This is a test run to see if we can launch RomaOffsideTV where streams to games are provided in a post (told you it was fancy). Hopefully Azzurri v Mirko proves it possible. Enjoy.
Game’s at 2050 local, 1450 EST.
Stream #1:
Stream #2:
Two different sizes to see which one works best.

And that’s at least how much I’ll need.
I brace every morning when making my internet rounds to discover that which the worldly gods have deigned to bestow upon us for the glorious day. Suffice it to say, things haven’t been pleasant in a long, long time. Tidbits like Pizarro return imminent and Lump on Spalletti’s testicle found to be third testicle have inexplicably put a little kick into my step. Previously my standards were such that the only thing which could convince me to even lift an eyelid was Totti scores 487 during intra-squad scrimmage; saves a dozen school children from burning bus; returns home to sire demigod #3 in continuing quest for AS Totti. So depressing I’m contemplating skipping right past the prescription pad and leaping right into some shady alley deep in the heart of the city where I can find some goodness to dull the pain.
Today’s rounds were extra special, featuring headlines that had me wondering if I’d stumbled into a newly-formed ‘Sports Obituary’ section. Shall we? I think we shall.

How irrelevant is Lazio? No one even knows who they are.

Il Derby Capitolino: Roma v Lazio
Rome’s footballing rivalry used to be elevated by the political differences between the supporters. The Laziali in general had right wing ideas while the Roma fans were more left-wing orientated.

At least according to TGIP. I tend to agree.
Young Guns: Where Are They Now?

Marco of Livorno Offside and sporadic Roma Offside fame has taken over as chief of scouting and was kind enough to give a little rundown of the talent under contract everyone forgets about until June rolls around and then everyone gets really excited until they’re sent back out on loan. Enjoy.
Bruno Conti has done a magnificent job with Roma’s youth system over the years. The Primavera squad has always been competitive. Coach De Rossi is an excellent professor and was even nice enough to donate his genes for the creation of the perfect midfielder; Daniele De Rossi. Unfortunately, not all youngsters are like Totti and De Rossi, even Aquilani needed some Serie B time before joining the squad for good. So how’s the next generation of Roma talent doing ?
Alessio Cerci : Alessio Cerci has always been a standout throughout his years in Roma’s primavera. He was sent out on loan 3 years ago to Serse Cosmi’s Brescia with great enthusiasm from both squads. Unfortunately he was rattled by injuries and didn’t manage to play with any continuity at all. Then came his Pisa stint; Cerci pounced on his occasion and scored 10 goals in 26 games while helping Pisa with a very decent Serie B season and finally earning an Italian U21 call up.

The Curse of Toscana Looms Once Again

Siena v Roma
I’m doing my part and the non/mini-previews seem to be working, so I’ll keep ‘em coming.
Everybody remember the last time Roma traveled to Siena? Is there anyone who doesn’t? If so - lucky bastard.
It was worse than Cluj, Palermo & Refereegate at the Marassi all put together. It was a complete steamrolling by a vastly inferior team in a region which simply owns Roma for some inexplicable reason. Now it’s one more chance to exorcize The Curse of Toscana. Which is nice, because it’s not like this team needed one more psychological monkey clinging to their backs with a death grip right now. Not at all.
And in case you’re new around here, a little wrap up of last year’s Tuscan field trips:
