Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Simon Zibo

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Frank Caruana

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Roderick Cassar is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Mosta is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Matthew Bolaños 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 Mosta this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Adrian Deguara was the difference for Mosta

Marked 7.52. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad

Akpan Udoh 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.

Market

Gzira United come back empty-handed

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

Squad

Ryan Borg signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ryan Borg commits to Mosta for another 3 years.

Squad

Liberato Colvey says Mosta went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Zabbar St. Patrick come back empty-handed

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

Market

Ibrahim Halliru 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 The request is on a desk at Mosta, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Mosta

David Idaiye 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

Aidan Agius attracts admirers

The name of Aidan Agius has come up in conversations Mosta were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad

Words at Mosta training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matthew Bolaños 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.
