Match

8 matches without a win for Military Production

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Military Production are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Walid Tawfik says Military Production 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.

Squad

Tahah 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 Military Production this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Gosiame Ngobeni’s goal not enough for Military Production

Gosiame Ngobeni scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to ENPPI, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Marvin Piñón

“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.

Squad

Shaker Ashraf 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 terraces

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 7 of the 32 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market

Mahmoud Ragab 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 The request is on a desk at Military Production, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

4 matches without a win for Military Production

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Military Production are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Military Production

Tahah 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Military Production against Smouha

0‑1 to Smouha, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at Military Production training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdallah Mahmoud 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Karim Mamdouh

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

Squad

Khaled Rabiaa named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Khaled Rabiaa is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Player ratings

Off the pace: Khaled Rabiaa

A mark of 5.29 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.
