ROMA’S outspoken president Jim Pallotta is calling on Italian supporters to unite in protest following the latest incidents of fan violence involving his club.

Two men from Rome were arrested before the Champions League semi-final in Liverpool last week, on suspicion of attempted murder following an assault outside the stadium that left a Reds fan in critical condition.

“It’s time now for things to change in Italy and in Rome because it is just happening too much,” Roma owner Pallotta said over the weekend.
