11 matches without a win for Zabbar St. Patrick

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Zabbar St. Patrick are no longer polite ones.

Squad16 Nov 2026

Massimo Forte breaks a bone — 72 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 72 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Manú says Zabbar St. Patrick went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Bruno Figueiredo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Bruno Figueiredo 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 Zabbar St. Patrick this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Ignacio Colombo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Zabbar St. Patrick will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Ayom Majok damages knee ligaments — 17 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 17 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.

No end in sight to Zabbar St. Patrick's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Zabbar St. Patrick has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Zabbar St. Patrick

Bruno Figueiredo 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.

Nothing got past Strahinja Jovančić

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Mayron was the difference for Zabbar St. Patrick

Marked 7.38. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Ignacio Colombo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Bruno Figueiredo

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Manú

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

Match10 Oct 2026

Zabbar St. Patrick and Gzira United cancel each other out

Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Gzira United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
