Squad26 Apr 2027

A fracture rules Rogério out for 54 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kolkheti will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The terraces26 Apr 2027

The mood at Kolkheti has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Match24 Apr 2027

7 matches without a win for Kolkheti

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

Squad26 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Kolkheti

Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Words at Kolkheti training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohamed Cherif 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.

Match24 Apr 2027

Kolkheti come up short against Saburtalo

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

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira 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.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Levan Kharabadze

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Home is on Matheus Lima'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; Kolkheti are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market21 Dec 2026

Jacó asks to leave Kolkheti

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Kolkheti

Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira 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.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Elguja Grigalashvili

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Elguja Grigalashvili, and the manager let it.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Matheus Lima wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Kolkheti can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Douglas Oliveira gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Douglas Oliveira is on it.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Marquinhos is a square peg at Kolkheti

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.

Match17 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Kolkheti

10 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Campanelli stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Kolkheti

Vagner Gonçalves Nogueira 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Kakha Makharadze is slowing down

At 39, 3 points below where he was, and a body that has started charging interest. It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph on this page.

Match17 Oct 2026

The goals have deserted Kolkheti

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

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Kisley Zita 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Matheus Lima wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Kolkheti know it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Johnatan Cardoso has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Kolkheti will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Wágner is still paying for one afternoon at Kolkheti

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.
