The Tskhinvali Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad26 Jul 2027

Lasha Kakabadze says Tskhinvali went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market26 Jul 2027

Irakli Kobiashvili has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Tskhinvali they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Benito Yllaconza 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.

Match24 Jul 2027

Dinamo Batumi take the points off Tskhinvali

Beaten 0-1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market26 Jul 2027

Guria are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Tskhinvali will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Kakha Kashia wants to come home

“I did not go to Shukura to sit and watch. I want to come back to Tskhinvali and fight for my place.” 5 appearances in 25 matches say the rest.

Ruben Compaoré signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ruben Compaoré commits to Tskhinvali for another 3 years.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Is this Avtandil Zivzivadze’s last season?

“I will know when it is time. I am not there yet.” Avtandil Zivzivadze is 34, with 3 appearances behind him, and Tskhinvali will have to plan for whichever answer comes.

Market4 Jan 2027

Ivan Butusov asks to leave Tskhinvali

“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.

Market4 Jan 2027

Sioni come back empty-handed

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

Market4 Jan 2027

Tskhinvali sign Ruben Compaoré, one for the future

Ruben Compaoré is 20, and Tskhinvali have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad4 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Tornike Arveladze

“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.

Market4 Jan 2027

Nika Okriashvili told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Nika Okriashvili has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Tskhinvali.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Ivan Butusov asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
