Squad

Ian Karani damages knee ligaments — 69 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 69 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.

Match

No end in sight to Kariobangi Sharks's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Kariobangi Sharks has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Tempers go at Kariobangi Sharks

Dimpol Omamo 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.

Match

Kariobangi Sharks come up short against APS Bomet

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

Squad

Sebastian Wekesa 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 ratings

Nobody could get near Gouné Niangadou

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

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ian Karani

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

Squad

Tempers go at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi 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

Malick Touré runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

No hiding place for Stephen Mbulere Bwire

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

Squad

Gouné Niangadou has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Kariobangi Sharks know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Match

Kariobangi Sharks and Nairobi United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

Ally Salum Omar could not find anything

5.59. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Player ratings

A day to forget for Keegan Ndemi

Marked 5.77, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Market

The shop window has Wayne Mbuya in it

Kariobangi Sharks have let the market know Wayne Mbuya can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Market

Posta Rangers turn down Shabana for Elvis Noor

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 Posta Rangers

Harrison Mwendwa 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.

Squad

Fredrick Odhiambo 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Harrison Mwendwa

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

Player ratings

Harrison Mwendwa runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Bernard Ondiek left out for tactical reasons at Posta Rangers

The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Match

No goals between Posta Rangers and KCB

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. KCB will be the happier side with the point.

Market

Fredrick Odhiambo linked with a move away

The name of Fredrick Odhiambo keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Posta Rangers say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings

Eliud Lokuwam never got going

5.65 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.

Squad

Harrison Mwendwa stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Harrison Mwendwa and Posta Rangers agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Bernard Ondiek 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.

Squad

Harrison Mwendwa 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.

Market

Kariobangi Sharks watching Dimpol Omamo

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

Squad

The manager makes an example of Brian Marita

“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 ratings

Owen Mboya runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
