Much in the same way Dunfermline were robbed of the deserved point against Compagnia delle Indie on Matchday 1, they've now collected two extra unexpected points, following an FA decision, which has ruled that the 2-2 draw sould be quashed and turned into a 4-0 victory, owing to a breach of signings regulations.
Basically, Sampierdarena have failed to produce all necessary documents and papers necessary to the signing of their new goalkeeper Federico Bruzzone, which represents a breach of FA regulation D10.1.5
MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
We don't like winning games like this. Sampierdarena played an excellent game and they fully deserved to get a point out of it.
They gave us a game and even managed to establish a two-goal cushion, before a hard fought comeback levelled things up for us.
It's AICS (The local FA) which make the rules, either fair or unfair we're all bound to respect them, as they never fail to take chance to remind us all by means of disputable reports and statements.
It is deeply unfair, as they shouldn't be concerned whether a FIGC (the national domestic FA) player holds a permit to play for an AICS side at the same time, as long as the geneal requirements of the league are fully met and satisfied.
It is an unjust rule, but by accepting to play in this league, we're also bound to accept all norms regulating signings, transfers, disciplinary actions and so forth.
We wish Samp well for the remainder of the league, hoping their true potential will come good and spell high-flying berths in the table, however we couldn't let this go as it was, considering we were a primary and earlier subject of the application of the very same rule when we breached it against Compagnia delle Indie back in November.
