Clinton Okinyi 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.
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.
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Jacob Onyango wins it after the whistle should have gone
91 minutes played. Jacob Onyango found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Posta Rangers went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Still no offer on the table, and Clinton Okinyi’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

A place in the month's best eleven for Jacob Onyango
Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Jacob Onyango has come out of that comparison in the side, and Bidco United have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bidco United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: Clinton Okinyi from Kenya Police for $47.0K, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Simon Munala 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.
Clinton Okinyi is 33 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.
Michael Bodo 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.

Words at Bidco United training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ibrahima Dembélé 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.
There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Bidco United know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Bidco United, another week without a signature from John Kelwishi.
Still no offer on the table, and John Otieno’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.
