Match

Gzira United find a way past Hamrun Spartans

Hamrun Spartans made Gzira United work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

Brooklyn Borg 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.

Squad

Deacon Abela asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market

André linked with a move away

The name of André keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Gzira United say nothing, which says plenty.

The terraces

The press have found their man in Aivars Emsis

Column inches are not points, but a footballer whose name keeps appearing for the right reasons is a footballer whose price has just gone up.

Squad

André named in the team of the week

A rating of 6.72 was enough for the selectors, and nobody who watched the match is going to argue with them.

Market

David Xuereb asks to leave Gzira United

“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.

Match

Naxxar Lions take the points off Gzira United

Beaten 2-4, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Gabriel Mentz 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.

“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.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Edoardo Colombo

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.

Match

Gzira United find a way past Valletta

Valletta made Gzira United work for it, but the scoreboard read 2-1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad

David Xuereb 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.

Squad

Johan Bonilla is off the mark for Gzira United

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Squad

Máxuell Maia unhappy with how he is being used

Asked to play a role that is not his, or taken off before the hour once too often — Máxuell Maia has let it be known that he does not like the way Gzira United are using him. Managers hear this long before the press does.

Match

Gzira United out of the cup

Tarxien Rainbows ended it 1-3. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Market

David Xuereb asks to leave Gzira United

“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.

Match

6 matches without a win for Gzira United

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Gzira United are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Edoardo Colombo 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.

Match

No goals between Gzira United and Floriana

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Floriana will be the happier side with the point.

Squad

Edvard Lee Agius makes his debut at 20

At 20 years old, Edvard Lee Agius became the latest name off the academy production line to be handed a senior shirt.

“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.

Squad

Johan Bonilla stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Johan Bonilla and Gzira United agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Talks stall between Gzira United and Edoardo Colombo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
