The dugout

Guram Kakabadze: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Saburtalo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Jemal Tabidze 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 Saburtalo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Saburtalo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Bruno Paulo is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The Saburtalo Post

5 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match

The wait goes on for Saburtalo

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Rogerinho signs on for more

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

Match

The goals have deserted Saburtalo

4 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Saburtalo can tell you which week it ends in.

Squad

Words exchanged at Saburtalo

Jemal Tabidze and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

Time is catching up with Daniel Costa

Everybody at Saburtalo saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 36 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

Squad

Home is on Phillip Čančar's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Saburtalo are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Giorgi Kutsia

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The dugout

Rafael Broetto dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Otar Chakvetadze on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.
