Roma president Pallotta slams Feyenoord hooligans

AS Roma president James Pallotta has slammed Feyenoord hooligans after last week's rampage through Rome.

Pallotta is urging Roma fans not to seek revenge for the return-leg of their Europa League tie.

"It was disgusting, embarrassing, and I hope the Roma fans don't do the same. I hope they behave like in Munich and Manchester where they were great," said Pallotta.

"We have to show that our supporters are civilised, to go to Rotterdam seeking revenge is just stupid.

"What the Feyenoord fans did over a game was disgusting and ridiculous, and in my opinion they should pay for the damage caused.

"For Roma fans to seek revenge for what happened is stupid, some Feyenoord fans have shown disrespect, but not all of them, just a bunch of them who damaged the historic treasures of Rome, acting like complete idiots.

"Our fans are so much better [than that] and I have no worries about what they'll do."
