Match

Torpedo Vladimir punish Kolomna for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Dmitry Ivanov will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Kolomna escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Player ratings

Oleg Lapaev, 20, steals the show — 8.33

Marked 8.33 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Kolomna

Mikhail Kanaev 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

Dmitry Ivanov’s goal not enough for Kolomna

Dmitry Ivanov scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Torpedo Vladimir, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Yegor Sidorov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yegor Sidorov commits to Kolomna for another 3 years.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Oleg Lapaev

At 20 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.

Player ratings

Dmitry Ivanov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.37. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Market

Kolomna and Alexandr Usov are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

7 new faces, and Kolomna are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings

A debut Vlad Baranov will not forget — 7.33

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.33 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad

Yegor Sidorov gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Yegor Sidorov has just signed for Kolomna, and for once the answer mattered.

Transfer targets

Gleb Zakharov is a medical away from Kolomna

The deal with Tyumen is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad

Alexandr Grigorjev stays put

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

Squad

A falling-out at Kolomna

Mikhail Kanaev and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market

Luka Fomin steps up from the Kolomna academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Luka Fomin has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Kolomna promote Nikita Bessonov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Nikita Bessonov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Danila Ponomarev joins the Kolomna first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Danila Ponomarev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Valentin Galkin steps up from the Kolomna academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Valentin Galkin has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
