Match

No end in sight to Mosta's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Mosta has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Words exchanged at Mosta

Ernest Agyiri 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

Matthew Bolaños 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.

Match

Mosta come up short against Hibernians

Hibernians left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Boardroom

Wages eat 128% of everything Mosta earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Player ratings

The game went through Giancarlo — 6.68

Marked 6.68 on 9 actions at both ends of the pitch. Midfielders like this get described as unspectacular by people who have never tried to play against one.

The dugout

Emmanuel Ugwu gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

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 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Christian Xuereb to a room that had heard them before.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Cheick Kone

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Mosta told Cheick Kone something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

In brief
