The government which listens…when money talks
We learn through the unlikely medium of an Italian sports news site that the Senegalese footballer, Ibrahima Mbaye, who plays for Livorno, may solve his ‘extra communitario’ status by buying a Maltese passport.
Talent indeed, except that the Maltese passport will not be used to play for Hamrun Spartans.
A black man from Senegal, eh? Had he come over in a leaky boat he would have been locked up in an army detention camp for 18 months, and occasionally taken for outings in handcuffs to be insulted by Maltese hamalli.
I witnessed just such a scene at the law courts some weeks ago, and was sorely tempted to tell the women in question that actually, Malta would be a better place if they and their sort were to leave, or go back where they came from, put up a wall and live behind it, so that civilised people don’t have to see, hear or endure them and deal with the consequences of their brainless political choices.
Or, if he found Manuel Mallia and Joseph Muscat on a really bad day when he arrived, they would lock him up in a police compound and try to push him back, to be stopped only by a warning salvo from the European Court of Human Rights.
But because this particular black man from Senegal is thinking of coming along with what, for him, is a measly 650,000 euros and peanuts in rent, they’re going to roll over onto their backs and wiggle their legs in the air. And lest Toni Abela decides to sue me for calling him a prostitute this time, that was a reference to the behaviour of dogs. Maybe that great dog-lover, Joseph Muscat, can explain to him what it means.

Ouch, Muscat’s scheme fits Inter’s strategy, which amongst others, includes beating rivals AC Milan.
Not that they didn’t, his Rossoneri risk relegation this year.
Livorno would have to loan the player out to a Maltese club for a year to fulfil his residency requirements before he could get hold of his own Maltese passport. That, of course, is if things are done legally.
The definition of ‘legal’, on our beloved rock. is quite ‘fluid’.
@Clueless, I agree with you that if things are to be done legally he should spend a year in Malta, and play on loan for a Maltese club, but Livorno can’t loan the player as he is an Inter player on loan to Livorno.
So it should be Inter that should loan the player, but I doubt that Inter will do that.
Sa fejn naf jien ma niftakarx lil Toni Abela bhala xi prosekutur lanqas persekatur. Jien kont u ghadni nafu bhala Toni L-Aspro, li wara li Joseph jaghmel xi paprata, bhal meta droga hasibha trab, jigi l-Aspro fuq it-TV sew Super One kif ukoll PBS u jserrah ras il-poplu li mhux hekk ried jghid jew jaghmel Joseph.
Insomma sar qisu Apologia Pro Vita Eis. Ma jonqosx li jaghmel politika gdida u jarma jsemmi l-hamsinijiet u-sittinijiet. Ma jissemma qatt biex iserrhilna rasna dak iz-zmien dehebi li ghamel lil hinn mill-PL.
Ma nahsibx li jidhollu mit-tieqa tal-kuridur ta’ mohhu li jaghmillek libell, sakemm ma jqabbdux sidu.
Look on the bright side, Malta will have a chance to be part of the euro cup finals in 2016.
