Crab Lungs Posted 31 January, 2013 Share Posted 31 January, 2013 I'm off to Rome for the Roma/Cagliari game tomorrow but I'm obviously going to be looking for a bar to watch the Wigan/Saints game on Saturday if possible... is there anyone who can possibly recommend me a place that'd have it on? Ta!!!! )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 1 February, 2013 Share Posted 1 February, 2013 I'm afraid the TV game over here on Saturday is Newcastle -Chelsea and I very much doubt that any bars bother to stream anything. Still, you never know, maybe even a bar with very fast internet, wi-fi and your tablet... http://www.yelp.com/search?cflt=sportsbars&find_loc=Roma%2C+Lazio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 29 September, 2015 Share Posted 29 September, 2015 Moving back to Italy (Rome) this weekend so be cool to see if there are any other Saints around? Also got tickets for the Lazio game on sunday and was wondering if turning up in the Curva Nord with a Saints shirt on was a good idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 1 October, 2015 Share Posted 1 October, 2015 Beh.. direi di no! Do you speak romanaccio? so parlare un po' di italiano Are you living there then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suewhistle Posted 2 October, 2015 Share Posted 2 October, 2015 This is Italy, everywhere has their own dialect and Rome's distinctive. Haven't been there for years but lived there in the 60s! My more recent experience is in the North where dialects vary from valley to valley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 10 October, 2015 Share Posted 10 October, 2015 Ah cool! Well I have not had a problem with language really so far. Went to the Lazio game on sunday which was a lot of fun. Sat with the nutters and didn't think they were as bad as legend says. When they scored the first goal everyone went crazy and I managed to get it on video on my mobile but don't know how to put videos up. But here is a pic. At £12 a ticket think I will go watch more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habito in Roma/Ostia ma mia lavora e ancora Lecce, Sardigna et Sud Tirol! Questa fini setemana vado a Saints vs Leicester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted 11 October, 2015 Share Posted 11 October, 2015 ps - hope that was a reasonable attempt - I am still very much in the learning phase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Marco Posted 12 October, 2015 Share Posted 12 October, 2015 Awesome attempt. What are you out there doing for work? Had a chat with an Italian today about footie. Mentioned where I am from etc and was very surprised how much he knew about our club. Seems we are a bit more known around Europe than I thought. Granted he said he only follows us to see how Pelle is doing but that's good enough. Another thing he said was he was shocked how crap Gaston has done as he was really good when in Italy.

Tony F Posted 13 October, 2015 Share Posted 13 October, 2015 I am working with the Italian Army - they have some new training kit which they need help getting their heads around. Yes I agree that, when I mention being a Saints ST holder, at least people do know who the team is - the Chelsea result was noted!! This coming weekend I am leaving my car at Treviso (nr Venice) and flying out Friday, back Monday. Such commitment! Should we try and meet to watch the next saints away match (Liverpool) on TV somewhere in/near Rome? Might be difficult, though, as it clashes with the Italy footy day on Sunday but......?

suewhistle Posted 14 October, 2015 Share Posted 14 October, 2015 Good attempt, completely understandable but as I teach Italian I could probably have found a few mistakes. It's the bloomin' endings that catch people out, so watch your verbs and nouns. :-) I once taught an intensive English course to squaddies at the Alpine training school. They have some recruits who only sign up for short periods, as little as a year (!) - VFBs - Volontieri di Ferma Breve (not sure of my endings there!) so effectively almost like conscripts. Some were keen but others not so; I think joining the army was just a way of getting out of their one-horse southern village. As the lady who contracted me said: 'Some only speak dialect and not even Italian', let alone any English from school. You'll find the fatter or stouter ones are marescialli - W/Os - and they're always good for a joke amongst the recruits for their appetites in the mess. If you need Italian lessons when you get back let me know: with the price of season tickets I could do with a few more classes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony F Posted 15 October, 2015 Share Posted 15 October, 2015 Funny you mention lessons Sue - I am looking for a class to attend in Ostia in the New Year.... Meanwhile looking out of my window in the far north east of Italy I can see the snow line coming down the mountain. Must look my skis out :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Marco Posted 15 October, 2015 Share Posted 15 October, 2015 So I went along to the Spanish steps today and it was fenced off.... Still getting used to this whole all have to sit out in a square at night thing. Sort of like outside pubs but have to bring your own drinks!
