Tempers go at Ararat

Yaya Sogodogo 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 Ararat training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Vladimir Bubanja 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.

Ararat lose Adama Méïté

14 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The small margins put Ararat out

Out, 1‑2 to Noah, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The boos come down from three sides

The manager makes an example of Yaya Sogodogo

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Talks stall between Ararat and David Idowu

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Nobody could get near Yaya Sogodogo

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