Marked for Andrey

Market23 Nov 2026

MT 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 The request is on a desk at Santa Clara, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match23 Nov 2026

Santa Clara sink to position 17

7 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A one-man rearguard from Neneca

There were 8 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.

Match21 Nov 2026

6 goals as Santa Clara and Alverca go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Santa Clara and Alverca, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match21 Nov 2026

Gonçalo Paciência’s goal not enough for Santa Clara

Gonçalo Paciência scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑4 to Alverca, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad23 Nov 2026

A row about effort at Santa Clara

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

Squad23 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Santa Clara

Welinton Torrão was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Jose Barbosa faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Jose Barbosa after 2‑4, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

David Grilo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match28 Oct 2026

Cup progress for Santa Clara

A 1‑0 win over Tondela, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market2 Nov 2026

Sidney Lima hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Santa Clara can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

João Vasconcelos, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.03

A mark of 8.03 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Gabriel Souza: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Santa Clara have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words at Santa Clara training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. MT 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.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Santa Clara

Josué Sá and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The terraces2 Nov 2026

Santa Clara supporters have found a favourite in João Vasconcelos

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. João Vasconcelos has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match31 Oct 2026

Arouca take the points off Santa Clara

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

Rildo 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.
