Market27 Dec 2027
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at AFC Leopards, and it is not being withdrawn.
The dugout27 Dec 2027
This is not rotation. Humphrey Katasi has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at AFC Leopards is pretending otherwise.
Squad27 Dec 2027
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Robert Kakeeto was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Hassan Beja 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 AFC Leopards this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The dugout27 Dec 2027
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. AFC Leopards told Maxwell Otieno something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.
The dugout27 Dec 2027
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at AFC Leopards, and both men came out saying it was fine.
The dugout27 Dec 2027
Hassan Beja has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at AFC Leopards 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.
Market27 Dec 2027
AFC Leopards have let the market know Kennedy Odhiambo can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.
