From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match1 Nov 2028

Adana Demirspor march on in the cup

Umraniyespor are out and Adana Demirspor go through, 2‑1 the final word. The bracket opens up a little, and everyone allows themselves a look at it.

Match1 Nov 2028

Adana Demirspor win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 106th minute. Umraniyespor will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings6 Nov 2028

A brace, and Amidou Badji takes the afternoon — 9.08

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Amidou Badji provided it, and the 9.08 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings6 Nov 2028

Both of them Mostafa Mohamed's — 8.94

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.94, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad6 Nov 2028

A fracture rules Hakan Celik out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Adana Demirspor will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings6 Nov 2028

Devrim Şahin, 21, steals the show — 7.88

Marked 7.88 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad6 Nov 2028

Mostafa Mohamed is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.39 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Match4 Nov 2028

Still nobody has beaten Adana Demirspor

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad6 Nov 2028

A row about effort at Adana Demirspor

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Leozinho was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market27 Sep 2027

Arda Önal puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at Lokeren-Temse, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings27 Sep 2027

Bryan Van Hove did the work nobody counts — 7.02

16 combined actions and 7.02. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Words exchanged at Lokeren-Temse

Bryan Van Hove 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.

Squad27 Sep 2027

A row about effort at Lokeren-Temse

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sander Coopman was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad27 Sep 2027

Halil Özdemir makes it 100

100 times in these colours, in all weathers and under four or five different managers. That kind of service is quietly disappearing from the game.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

No hiding place for Matias Lloci

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Matias Lloci, and the manager let it.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Hans Januzaj: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

The form table has caught Sebastiaan Brebels

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

The dugout27 Sep 2027

Alain Matoka is still paying for one afternoon at Lokeren-Temse

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market24 May 2027

Toon Janssen puts it in writing

“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 Lokeren-Temse, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad24 May 2027

Kader Yaméogo 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 Lokeren-Temse this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 May 2027

Words at Lokeren-Temse training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mihajlo Cvetković 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.

The dugout24 May 2027

A promise honoured at Lokeren-Temse

Something was said to Kelyan Guessoum and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Loan watch24 May 2027

Yosuke Morishige keeps scoring at Fortuna Sittard

30 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout24 May 2027

Toon Janssen knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Toon Janssen trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match6 Mar 2027

13 matches without a win for Lokeren-Temse

The run now stands at 13, and the questions being asked around Lokeren-Temse are no longer polite ones.

Match6 Mar 2027

Nowhere to hide for Lokeren-Temse

0‑3 against Waasland-Beveren, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Naoufel Zerhouni signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Naoufel Zerhouni commits to Lokeren-Temse for another 2 years.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Lokeren-Temse

Thomas Foket 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.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Sander Coopman 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.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Kader Yaméogo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kader Yaméogo, and the manager let it.

Boardroom8 Mar 2027

Nobody left the Lokeren-Temse dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

Hans Januzaj answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market8 Mar 2027

A long bet from Lokeren-Temse on Jet Lee Espín

He is 19, and nobody at Lokeren-Temse signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

In brief
