The dugout11 Oct 2027

Mauricio Luiz frozen out at Marsa

This is not rotation. Mauricio Luiz has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Marsa is pretending otherwise.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Davi Versiani wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Marsa can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Gabriel falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Astjon Sulce 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 Marsa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout11 Oct 2027

Brendan Schneider back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Marsa has worked with Brendan Schneider before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

Squad11 Oct 2027

Marsa lose Jonathan Bajada

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

The dugout11 Oct 2027

No hiding place for Enzo Uribe

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

Looking ahead11 Oct 2027

Brendan Schneider goes back to face Zurrieq

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Brendan Schneider’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Marsa needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market11 Oct 2027

The Mauricio Luiz question follows Marsa around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Mauricio Luiz’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Match11 Sep 2027

5 matches without a win for Marsa

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Marsa are no longer polite ones.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Mauricio Luiz frozen out at Marsa

This is not rotation. Mauricio Luiz has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Marsa is pretending otherwise.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Endrio 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 Marsa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Words at Marsa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrei Vrushi 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.

Match11 Sep 2027

A bad afternoon for Marsa against Birzebbuga St. Peter's

0‑1 to Birzebbuga St. Peter's, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Endrio gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad13 Sep 2027

Marsa count the cost of losing Jonathan Bajada

52 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

Brendan Schneider back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Marsa has worked with Brendan Schneider before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

The dugout13 Sep 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑1 defeat, delivered by Andrew Xuereb to a room that had heard them before.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Cain Cutajar breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A one-man rearguard from João Vitor

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Gabriel Diego Farrugia keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Marsa may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match28 Aug 2027

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.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Marsa baulk at the price for Timilehin Caleb Akande

Fgura United wanted more than $26.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Boardroom30 Aug 2027

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Marsa

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Boardroom30 Aug 2027

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.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Birkirkara tell Marsa: Jan Busuttil 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.

Squad30 Aug 2027

Words at Marsa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mauricio Luiz 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.
