Nobody could get near Tshidiso Monamodi

Successful dribbles: 32. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Whatever happens, Floriana do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Tempers go at Floriana

Kenan Dervišagić 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.

Fede Varela in the eights

A performance of 8.18 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

Words at Floriana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kouya Mabea 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.

Match

Fede Varela rescues a point for Floriana

It needed Fede Varela to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Mosta, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Paul Mbong runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 56. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Karpaty come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Floriana did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Jakob Cioffi 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 Floriana can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Floriana

Guilherme Cioletti 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.

Market

Eyes on Pablo Picón again

The phone has started ringing about Pablo Picón again, and this time the name on the line is Tarxien Rainbows. Floriana are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Hibernians are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Floriana will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
