Levis Opiyo breaks a bone — 25 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 25 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Bandari say no — this time

The offer from Bidco United for Rajab Omar was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Swaleh Pamba stays put

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

Levis Opiyo breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Levis Opiyo 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 Bandari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eyes on Rajab Omar again

The phone has started ringing about Rajab Omar again, and this time the name on the line is Bidco United. Bandari are listening politely and promising nothing.

Rajab Omar 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.

Swaleh Pamba knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Bandari, and both men came out saying it was fine.

William Gitama told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” William Gitama has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Bandari.
