Roma president Rosella Sensi has penned an open letter to Serie A authorities over the manner of their defeat to AC Milan last weekend.

Roma were incensed on Sunday night when Roberto Rosetti gave Milan a soft penalty yet denied them a blatant one. The Giallorossi ended up losing 2-1.

Rosella wrote her letter, declaring: "I am furious, actually profoundly mad, and I believe I am not the only one at the moment in Rome. My family has led this club for 17 years. I have lived every moment of my father's battles.

"I remember championships in which Roma were penalised by a number of refereeing errors. I haven't even forgotten the fact we lost the Scudetto in the last 45 minutes against Catania, two years ago.

"I want to be clear. I am very sure that we do not find ourselves in 'uneven dynamics' like years ago, but evidently we live in unacceptable situations.

"I have institutional responsibilities and for this reason I have always kept a profile inspired by moderation. But there is one thing that I have the job of asserting: I would not like there to be anyone out there who thinks they can profit from our difficult start to the season, the 'Spalletti incident' or the fans' protests at the club, thinking they can find a weak directorship, a disorientated team and a split fan base.

"We have a competitive team, a trainer who is capable with personality, and a strong fan base. I ask my players to make themselves compact. I don't want to hear any more phrases like: 'We knew how it would end'. And finally I ask the fans, even those who protest against me, to unite and row together all in the same direction."
