The Tarxien Rainbows Courier
Market7 Sep 2026
Andreas Vella 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 The request is on a desk at Tarxien Rainbows, and it is not being withdrawn.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026
Window shuts: 8 in, 1 out at Tarxien Rainbows
The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 8 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Words exchanged at Tarxien Rainbows
Wesley 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.
Transfer targets7 Sep 2026
Tarxien Rainbows rebuffed over Abiodun Adegoke
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Shooting Stars have kept their man, and Tarxien Rainbows go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Ángel Valverde falls out with a teammate over standards

Squad7 Sep 2026
Vinicius Nunes signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vinicius Nunes commits to Tarxien Rainbows for another 3 years.
Squad7 Sep 2026
A step back for Yilson Mosquera at Tarxien Rainbows
Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.
Looking ahead7 Sep 2026
Tarxien Rainbows take on the side everybody is chasing
Floriana arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.
The dugout7 Sep 2026
The manager makes an example of Marco Dimech
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Looking ahead Andreas Vella goes back to face Floriana
- The dugout Andreas Vella knocks on the manager’s door
- Market Tarxien Rainbows add cover with Vinicius Nunes
