Squad1 Oct 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Vinicius

40 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Zabbar St. Patrick lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

9 matches without a win for Zabbar St. Patrick

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Zabbar St. Patrick are no longer polite ones.

Match26 Sep 2029

The small margins put Zabbar St. Patrick out

Out, 0‑1 to Sliema Wanderers, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Ergi Muco asks to leave Zabbar St. Patrick

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

A first appearance Robert Piatek will want to forget — 5.61

Nobody could get near Alessandro Arici

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Words at Zabbar St. Patrick training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nikolai Muscat 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.

Squad1 Oct 2029

No hiding place for Kurt Zammit

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

Ergi Muco has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Zabbar St. Patrick they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Eyes on António Mendes again

The phone has started ringing about António Mendes again, and this time the name on the line is Al-Taawoun. Zabbar St. Patrick are listening politely and promising nothing.

Liam Delicata is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Mayron in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Zabbar St. Patrick this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
