Marked for Ruben Falla

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Alessandro Farroni

There were 14 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

Siracusa caught on 93 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Catania scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Boardroom

105% of the income goes out in wages at Siracusa

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

A falling-out at Siracusa

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

Player ratings

Angelo Guida was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Match

Siracusa and Catania take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Domenico Bartoli: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

Looking ahead

Siracusa take on the side everybody is chasing

Benevento arrive as leaders. A side at the top is beaten roughly once a month, and the club that does it gets a week it remembers for a year.

Market

No place for Ruben Falla in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ruben Falla has his answer from Siracusa; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

In brief

Back issues

From our football correspondent Steady

Market

Ruben Falla asks to leave Siracusa

“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.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Matías Rosales rejects the move

Siracusa had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Sarmiento, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Tempers go at Siracusa

Nicola Valente 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.

Transfer targets

Venezia tell Siracusa: Redouane Halhal 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.

Boardroom

Siracusa say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

Angelo Guida faces his old club

Casertana next, and one man in the Siracusa dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

In brief
