Bina Tombiri damages knee ligaments — 81 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 81 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Tempers go at Bayelsa United

James Emo 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 Bayelsa United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kenneth Sheddy 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.

Bina Tombiri told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Bina Tombiri has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Bayelsa United.

Bayelsa United and Andy Ezekiel 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.

Kolawole Oladipo dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

The afternoon belonged to Kehinde Lawal

A mark of 6.97, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

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.
