From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout

Steve Biko Omollo keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Kariobangi Sharks may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match

4 matches without a win for Kariobangi Sharks

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Kariobangi Sharks are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi 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.

Match

Kariobangi Sharks come up short against Gor Mahia

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

The dugout

Joseph Mwangi 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.

Squad

Mohammed Habib Sarwari 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

Pentjie Zulu is not the player he was

It happens to all of them and it is still the hardest paragraph a local paper has to write. 36 years old, 3 points down on where he was, and a body that has started charging interest on a career.

Squad

A muscle injury and 16 days out for Timothy Imala

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Kariobangi Sharks will quote 16 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

The dugout

Moses Odhiambo answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Words exchanged at Kariobangi Sharks

Joseph Mwangi 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.

Match

6 unbeaten for Kariobangi Sharks

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 6 matches without defeat is a foundation Kariobangi Sharks did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Michael Wanjala 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.

Player ratings

Joseph Mwangi stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.62 on the card, and the Kariobangi Sharks support went home talking about one name.

The dugout

Ally Salum Omar dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match

Joseph Mwangi rescues a point for Kariobangi Sharks

It needed Joseph Mwangi to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Sofapaka, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

Ghai Panchol is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Moses Odhiambo chose the glass-half-full version of 1‑1; the supporters left with the other one.

Squad

The first one for Joseph Mwangi

Every signing waits for it and every press conference asks about it until it comes. It has come, Kariobangi Sharks have their man off the mark, and the second one is always easier.
