Match

Probiy taken apart

0‑3 to Inhulets, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Transfer targets

Roman Savchenko due for a Probiy medical

Everything agreed with Shakhtar, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets

Omelian Wiliam Chubak turns down Probiy

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad

Paul Loundjeu stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Paul Loundjeu and Probiy agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Andrii Fesenko 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 Probiy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Probiy promote Yaroslav Malynovskyi from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Yaroslav Malynovskyi has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Probiy promote Yaroslav Bezus from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Yaroslav Bezus has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Anton Pikhalyonok steps up from the Probiy academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Anton Pikhalyonok has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Probiy promote Roman Stepanenko from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Roman Stepanenko has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Andrii Bliznichenko signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Andrii Bliznichenko commits to Probiy for another 2 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Probiy

Andrii Fesenko 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.

Transfer targets

Zorya tell Probiy: Illia Karavashchenko is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market

A stepping stone, not a home, for Paul Loundjeu

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Probiy were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Match

A bad afternoon for Probiy against Ahrobiznes

0‑1 to Ahrobiznes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Paul Loundjeu is a square peg at Probiy

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Market

Probiy and Bohdan Orynchak are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

8 new faces, and Probiy are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

Ihor Haiduchok: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
