Player ratings8 Oct 2029

Mouad El Fanis runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Kléri Serber damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Damir Céter breaks a bone — 107 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 107 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market8 Oct 2029

Miro Soldo 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 The request is on a desk at Hamrun Spartans, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Ognjen Bjeličić signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ognjen Bjeličić and Hamrun Spartans agree another 2 years.

Squad8 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Hamrun Spartans

Danilo Bulevardi 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.

Player ratings8 Oct 2029

Diego Temoche takes the honours

Marked 7.19 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Hamrun Spartans had the best player on the pitch.

Match6 Oct 2029

Hamrun Spartans draw a blank against Tarxien Rainbows

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Tarxien Rainbows defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Market8 Oct 2029

Hamrun Spartans put Diyorbek To'laboyev up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Diyorbek To'laboyev may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Mouad El Fanis runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 54. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad18 Sep 2028

A fracture rules Ognjen Bjeličić out for 28 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hamrun Spartans will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Blessing Eleke out for 14 days

The medical room confirms 14 days on the sidelines for Blessing Eleke, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Kléri Serber 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 Hamrun Spartans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Vincenzo Polito 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.

Match16 Sep 2028

Point won or two lost for Hamrun Spartans?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Hibernians? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

Match21 Aug 2028

Hamrun Spartans up to position 2

40 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Raffaele D'Ambrosio is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Danilo Bulevardi 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 Hamrun Spartans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A fracture rules Emerson Marcelina out for 53 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hamrun Spartans will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match24 Jul 2028

Hamrun Spartans are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 40 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market24 Jul 2028

Ryan Camenzuli is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Hamrun Spartans is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
