Amara Sylla asks to leave Marsa
“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.
Match15 Jan 2028
4 matches without a win for Marsa
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Marsa are no longer polite ones.
Boardroom17 Jan 2028
Belts tighten at Marsa
The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Birkirkara tell Marsa: Shaun Dimech is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Words at Marsa training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gabriel 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.

A falling-out at Marsa
Astjon Sulce and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match15 Jan 2028
Melita take the points off Marsa
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad17 Jan 2028
A muscle injury and 14 days out for Thomas Cilia
The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Marsa will quote 14 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.
The dugout17 Jan 2028
The manager makes an example of Astjon Sulce
“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.
