Roma club president James Pallotta did not pull his punches as lashed out at the behaviour of some of the club's ultras.
Offensive banners taunting the mother of murdered Napoli supporter Ciro Esposito were hung on the Curva Sud of Roma's Stadio Olimpico home ground.
The club was fined and have been forced to close the Curva Sud for one match.
Speaking to Roma Radio, Pallotta said: "We did take away some of the banners – whatever banners that we did see outside before the game, our stewards did – but at the end of the day the security inside have to choose to take action and we don’t control that security inside.
"But in spite of that, it’s just not fair for all of our fans to be tarnished by a few f***ing idiots and assholes that hang out in the Curva Sud, and I’m sure that the vast majority of Roma supporters are sick and tired of these fools, and it’s up to all of us together – not just in Rome but in Italy – to put an end to their antics.
"We are doing a lot of good things with Roma Cares against bullying and violence and racism, and we’ll continue to do that and we’re working very hard at this, sometimes fairly quietly."
