From our football correspondent Steady

Match5 Dec 2026

Whatever happens, Ryazan do not lose

11 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Maxim Vertiev: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Ryazan have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Ryazan

Svyatoslav Tses' 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.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Ryazan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jaime Júnior 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.

Match5 Dec 2026

No time for Zenit Penza to settle

The goal that put Zenit Penza ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Ryazan equalised, 3 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Miłosz Rogula

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Miłosz Rogula has come out of that comparison in the side, and Ryazan have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Match5 Dec 2026

Honours even between Ryazan and Zenit Penza

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Nobody could get near Nikita Pogrebnev

Successful dribbles: 12. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market7 Dec 2026

The Nikita Pogrebnev story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Nikita Pogrebnev signs something — a contract at Ryazan or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

In brief

Back issues

The Sevastopol Courier

7 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad7 Sep 2026

A one-man rearguard from Vladislav Kucheiko

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Bogdan Krasilov asks to leave Sevastopol

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Yury Maximov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match5 Sep 2026

Redvan Osmanov sends Sevastopol past Pobeda

It finished 3‑2, and it was Redvan Osmanov’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sevastopol.

Market7 Sep 2026

Business is business: Maxim Vertiev goes

Ryazan paid $9.0K and Sevastopol took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Artem Stepanovich 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Vladislav Kucheiko 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Sevastopol settle it inside twenty minutes

2 goals before the ground had finished arriving. Pobeda spent the rest of the afternoon playing a match that had already been decided, and everybody in the stadium knew it.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Artem Stepanovich at his very best

Marked 8.28. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Sevastopol.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Artem Stepanovich

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Boris Bely hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Sevastopol can pretend not to have heard.

Market31 Aug 2026

Pobeda come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Sevastopol did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match29 Aug 2026

Sevastopol get the job done against Angusht

A 2‑0 win over Angusht, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Bekkhan Aliev

Marked 8.13 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Market31 Aug 2026

Ryazan expected to open talks for Maxim Vertiev

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Sevastopol will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Sevastopol

Maxim Konyaev 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Boris Bely 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Yury Maximov has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Sevastopol 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.

In brief
