Supporters organise against the Sambenedettese board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Tommaso Orsini stands alone
11 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Words exchanged at Sambenedettese
Jonnier Torres and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Max Murray arrives at the club he grew up with
Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Max Murray has, at Sambenedettese, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Words at Sambenedettese training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marco Piccoli is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Transfer targets18 Sep 2028
Sambenedettese rebuffed over Pasquale Esposito
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Lecce have kept their man, and Sambenedettese go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The crowd has taken to Tommaso Orsini
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match16 Sep 2028
A bad afternoon for Sambenedettese against Pescara
0‑1 to Pescara, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.
The dugout18 Sep 2028
The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Vincenzo Caruso to a room that had heard them before.
In brief
- Player ratings Noam Emeran was unplayable
- Looking ahead Simone Magnaghi goes back to face Campobasso
- The dugout No hiding place for Max Murray
