Squad21 Sep 2026

Oshobe Oladele breaks a bone — 141 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 141 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match19 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Bidco United

7 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Chizoba Amaefule 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 Bidco United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

The crowd has taken to Adama Traoré

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Michael Bodo 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.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Bidco United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brian Okeyo 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.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Adama Traoré was the difference for Bidco United

Marked 7.45. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Match19 Sep 2026

Honours even between Bidco United and APS Bomet

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues never got going

5.47 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Matthew Acton is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Matthew Acton: 3 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Kevin Ouma damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match26 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Bidco United

A 1‑1 win over Shabana, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad31 Aug 2026

Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues 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 Bidco United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Bidco United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. John Otieno 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Bidco United come up short against Kakamega Homeboyz

Kakamega Homeboyz left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Daniel Kakai misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Market31 Aug 2026

Bidco United put John Otieno up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. John Otieno may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Simon Munala runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Kevin Ouma

24 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bidco United lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Match19 Aug 2026

Cup progress for Bidco United

A 2‑0 win over Bandari, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bidco United

Oshobe Oladele 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Simon Munala falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Jacob Onyango

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Gabriel Sloane-Rodrigues

“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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Clinton Asiago takes the honours

Marked 7.92 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Bidco United had the best player on the pitch.

Match22 Aug 2026

Bidco United and Nairobi United take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

John Kelwishi never got going

5.79 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

US Bougouni watching Simon Munala

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Simon Munala signs on for more

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Bidco United

Adama Traoré 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.

Thomas Wainaina 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Brian Okeyo is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Bidco United has been clear about where Brian Okeyo stands, which is more than many ever get.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Bidco United and Michael Bodo

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Daniel Kakai

Still no offer on the table, and Daniel Kakai’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

One moment undoes Newton Ochieng

There was one mistake and it ended in the net. Defenders are judged on the worst thing they did rather than on the eighty-nine minutes either side of it, which is unfair and is also the job.
