Marked for Brooklyn Borg

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Bremer puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Gzira United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Home is on Bremer's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Gzira United are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

A row about effort at Gzira United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Gabriel Mentz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

Anderson Brito sends Gzira United past Sliema Wanderers

It finished 2‑1, and it was Anderson Brito’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Gzira United.

Squad

Brooklyn Borg out for 37 days

The medical room confirms 37 days on the sidelines for Brooklyn Borg, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout

No hiding place for Bremer

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bremer, and the manager let it.

Player ratings

One of those days for André

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Anderson Brito in the eights

A performance of 8.08 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings

Fin Roberts was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 17. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Edoardo Colombo

There were 11 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Gzira United

Bremer 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.

Squad

Gabriel Mentz falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Gzira United count the cost of losing Brooklyn Borg

65 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Match

Gzira United come up short against Hamrun Spartans

Hamrun Spartans left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Match

Halfway: Gzira United sit in position 10

10 points at the turn. The first half of a season is a promise; the second is a bill, and the town is about to find out which of the two this one was.

The dugout

Etienne Tabone answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
