Chievo Verona, as of 2019, were a Serie A club. They were promoted for the first time to Serie A in 2001 and from there spent 19 seasons in the top division, even though they had one of the smallest budgets possible. In 2005/2006 they even managed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League after Milan, Fiorentina, Lazio and Juventus all lost positions after cheating.

The club finished this year in 8th place in Italy’s second division Serie B. After learning the news of the clubs financial problems, captain Sergio Pellissier led a search for owners to invest in a phoenix club using Chievo’s name. The search ultimately failed, with the club now having the opportunity to start up again in the Veneto amateur leagues.

Facebook taken by storm after alleged Holy Mary apparition in Bormla fountain

Aug 25 2021

Maltese Facebook was taken by storm after a photo of what seems to be an apparition of Holy Mary within a water sprout in Bormla was uploaded. The photo was uploaded by Josef Grech, asking everyone to share the photo as he had seen the apparition with his own eyes.

The photos were taken at around 3 am in Bormla, showing what seems to be a veiled figure within a beam of light in a fountain water sprout. The post garnered hundreds of shares, likes and even comments, some amazed by the apparition with others not so much.

The photo was promptly shared by the likes of Terry ta’ Bormla, who, like many others, took the opportunity to write down prayers in association with the alleged apparition. Others were not so convinced, pointing out how people were seeing what they wanted to see and that the apparition was nothing more than just a coincidence or illusion. What do you think it was?

Peppi Azzopardi releases graphic self-harm images of late Colin Galea

Aug 25 2021

Xarabank host and prisoner’s rights activist Peppi Azzopardi released graphic images of late inmate Colin Galea’s self harm before re-entering prison. Peppi opened his post urging people to really look at the photo whilst also revealing that the prison’s statements that Colin did not show signs of suicide beforehand was a lie. The photo shows images of Colin’s arms after finding out he was being sent back to prison, with Azzopardi saying that the evidence clearly points to self-harm in Malta’s prison being a problem.

He also went on to reveal how Colin attempted to over-dose two days before being admitted into Corradino Correctional Facility. He was taken to Mater Dei for treatment. Peppi states that this is evidence Colin was ‘screaming’ for help as he did not want to return to the place he was locked into two years ago. Colin’s unfortunate passing prompted a suicide prevention board being created to inspect measures at the facility.
