Status at half time

Well, then we all had our little rest and vacation. The French Minks as well as Mjällby AIF who didn´t play a superettan game since the 12th of July when they lost the last battle of the spring season towards tuesday nights opponents Brommapojkarna - le garcons de Bromma.

Mjällby finished the first half of the series with a loss in Stockholm. After what was reported they didn´t do well and the saviour of the day was Matthias Asper. MAIFs goalkeeper who played last year exactly in BP. Asper as well as the rest of the team must be eager to get revenge on the Bromma-Boys as well as take some well needed points.

At the present situation MAIF has fallen one place since before the break due to one game less played. If they keep up the speed and get their three points they will even pass Örgryte and be on a playoff place. At least until tomorrow when ÖIS gets their chance. But if MAIF loose tonights battle they can even be passed by Falkenberg and fall to a 6th place with BP arriving at the same points.

Tonights game can be followed at the webbradio of Radio Blekinge. The game starts at 19h but the radio start to broadcast at 18:45

What has happen since last then?

Mjällby has lost two players and got one new.

Marcelo Sarvas was sold to Limhamn-Bunkeflo during the "vacation" and will probably play his first game in the new dress wednesday towards Ängelholm.

Mjällbys former goalkeeper Dusan Melichárek who already was on loan to Malmö FF has signed until 2011.

Good luck, guys!

As well as the loss of Melichárek was expected, since he already left in march, it is not frech news that Mjällby has got a new player called Robin Kacaniklic. He has been training with the club since the season started but was not ready to play until the 1st of July. Kacaniklic is 20 years and comes from FC Wrexham in Wales. He has also played in Helsingborgs IF. As did his brother and before them their father Zoran, who also played in Mjällby at the end of the 80´.

A questionmark for Mjällbys former, for the moment clubless, goalie Rickard Fransson. Rille and MAIF is still dealing about the contract.

The last player that could complete the troup before the transfer window closes is yet another Czech player - defensive midfielder Michal Ščasny. Ščasny who has played for clubs like Sparta Prag and belgian KVC Westerlo is much qualified and has some UEFA cup experience in his portfolio. Ščasny comes from a big football family. He followed his father Zdenek Ščasny first to Cyprys and then to other clubs. Ščasny senior is a former player of Sparta Prague and Czech National team, and previously coached Czech clubs Sparta Praha and FK Viktoria Žižkov and Greek clubs OFI Crete and Panatinaikos Athens. Ščasnys sister Pavlína Ščasná plays fotball in LdB FC Malmö. According to the local newspapers it is sure that Ščasny want to play in Mjällby and now it is up to the club to decide in the matter.

Other curiousities linked to MAIF.

Chippen is back in Nantes since he has a contract there. Nantes is back i Ligue 1 after one season un ligue 2. The coach of Nantes wants 30 players maximum and for the moment there are 39. The door is open for Chippen but there is an transfer to pay... If Nantes does not get a good offer, he will have to stay according to french news maxifoot.fr.

Fredrik Olsson has been transferred to Landskrona BOIS and scored BOIS only goal when they lost 2-1 to Qviding. Second loss with that team it will be. Johan Persson got a red card ... again.

Not only ex-Maifer Markus Senften plays Allsvenskan-football with Ljungskile (as captain), but also his old friend and Mjällby captain Peter Hiir-Salakka did a marvelous comeback in Swedens finest football. 35 year old Hiir-Salakka was the oldest player doing allsvenskan premiere.

Patrik "Baker" Rosengren (captain of Kalmar) scored last week when his Kalmar FF (still leading Allsvenskan) lost 3-2 with Malmö FF. Marcus Lindberg, ex MAIF-captain, played from start, and Abiola Dauda entered in the second half.

What is it with ex Mjällby players and the role of captain...?

Well, Forza MAIF!
