Squad

Tempers go at Floriana

Robert Murić 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.

Squad

Words at Floriana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gonzalo Gamarra 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.

Transfer targets

Floriana rebuffed over Amani Richards

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Leicester City have kept their man, and Floriana go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Floriana lose Stephen Dimech

33 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Market

The Robert Murić talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Floriana know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout

Emanuel Brincat knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Floriana, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

A falling-out at Floriana

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

Transfer targets

Door shut on Matt Palmer

Floriana asked and Notts County said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market

Steve Calleja steps up from the Floriana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Steve Calleja has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Emanuel Mallia steps up from the Floriana academy

One of our own: Peter Tabone joins the Floriana first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Peter Tabone is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
