Match

Every point is an argument now for Uralets-TS

Position 11 and 12 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Alexandr Smaglyuk 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 The request is on a desk at Uralets-TS, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Uralets-TS

Daniil Cherkasov 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.

Boardroom

$96.2K of the owner's money at Uralets-TS

The shortfall was covered from upstairs again. Supporters are entitled to be relieved and entitled to ask what happens the month it is not, and both feelings usually arrive together.

Squad

Words at Uralets-TS training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Krystian Mucha 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.

Market

Uralets-TS sign Alexandr Smaglyuk, one for the future

Alexandr Smaglyuk is 20, and Uralets-TS 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Linas Klimavicius damages knee ligaments — 84 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 84 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.

Squad

Karolis Girdvainis breaks a bone — 21 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Utenis refuse to drop out of the race

Position 1, 27 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.

Market

Eduardo Simo 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 The request is on a desk at Utenis, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Utenis

Josh Robinson 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.

Squad

Paulius Paulauskas 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.
