Marked for Maksym Boiko

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Kirill Samoilenko decides it from twelve yards

3 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match

Rukh through in the cup

A 0‑0 win over Inhulets, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Match

7 matches without a win for Rukh

The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Rukh are no longer polite ones.

Market

Denys Sliusar puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rukh, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

A defender's afternoon for Maksym Boiko

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Market

Rukh turn down Veres for Mykhailo Boyko

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Tempers go at Rukh

Elmir Nabiullin 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.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Talles Brener

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Rukh come up short against Karpaty

Karpaty left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

Maksym Boiko hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Rukh can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Rukh turn down Feniks for Maksym Uhrik

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Klayver signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Klayver and Rukh agree another 4 years.

Squad

Elmir Nabiullin 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 Rukh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Maksym Boiko

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market

Elmir Nabiullin linked with a move away

The name of Elmir Nabiullin keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rukh say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

Tempers go at Rukh

Elmir Nabiullin 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.

Market

UCSA watching Bohdan Kyrykovych

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Rukh have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market

Yehor Klymenko moves on

Karpaty pay $28.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Rukh lose Yurii Kihnitskyi

36 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad

Mukhammad Dzhurabaiev stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Mukhammad Dzhurabaiev and Rukh agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Denys Sliusar gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
