Market

Miullen 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 The request is on a desk at Hibernians, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Ryder Matos scores twice — 8.80

Two goals and a mark of 8.80 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Boardroom

4 academy players handed senior numbers at Hibernians

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.

Match

Ryder Matos the difference as Hibernians beat Tarxien Rainbows

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ryder Matos. 3‑1 against Tarxien Rainbows, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Transfer targets

Mosta tell Hibernians: Léo Fernandes 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Hibernians

Pedrão 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

Jonathan Cassar steps up from the Hibernians academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jonathan Cassar 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.

Market

Hibernians promote Kurt Cachia from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kurt Cachia has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Hibernians promote Bjorn Galea from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bjorn Galea has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

A falling-out at Hibernians

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

Transfer targets

Hibernians rebuffed over Reece Evans

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

The dugout

No hiding place for Leandro Lacunza

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

Squad

Bjorn Kristensen: 16 seasons and counting

381 appearances across 16 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Hibernians know exactly what they have.

Squad

Ryder Matos signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ryder Matos and Hibernians agree another 2 years.

Squad

Home is on Cleiton Robozão's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Hibernians are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Ryder Matos 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 Hibernians this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Valletta watching Jamie Wähling

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Hibernians have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Hibernians and Ryder Matos are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.
