From our football correspondent Crisis

Match16 Apr 2035

Full time on the season at Fgura United

Position 8 on 37 points. Every season is a story and this is the last line of it, and now the club has three months to decide what the next one is about.

Marco Antônio 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.

Match14 Apr 2035

A bad afternoon for Fgura United against Tarxien Rainbows

0‑2 to Tarxien Rainbows, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout16 Apr 2035

Albert Masson 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.

The dugout16 Apr 2035

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑2 Interim Coach left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout16 Apr 2035

Angelo Dimech is still paying for one afternoon at Fgura United

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

The dugout16 Apr 2035

Somebody else is better right now than Angelo Dimech

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Player ratings16 Apr 2035

Laurent Doku runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad16 Apr 2035

Laurent Doku is the weekend's best young player

At 20 he is being measured against the rest of the division's kids and coming out in front. The senior version of this award is where the club would like this to lead.

The Fgura United Post

19 Mar 2035
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market19 Mar 2035

Moloko Nape 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 The request is on a desk at Fgura United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad19 Mar 2035

Words at Fgura United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marco Antônio 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.

Market19 Mar 2035

Patrick Cutajar steps up from the Fgura United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Patrick Cutajar 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.

Market19 Mar 2035

One of our own: William Grech joins the Fgura United first team

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

Market19 Mar 2035

James Borg steps up from the Fgura United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. James Borg 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.

Laurent Doku runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Louis Bonnieu 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.

Match17 Mar 2035

Moloko Nape rescues a point for Fgura United

It needed Moloko Nape to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Sirens, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout19 Mar 2035

The manager has not finished forgetting Angelo Dimech's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
