Squad

Jackson Dwang breaks a bone — 56 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 56 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

Posta Rangers out of the cup

Tusker ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 13 of the 32 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Oliver Maloba signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Oliver Maloba and Posta Rangers agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Posta Rangers

Harrison Mwendwa 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

Words at Posta Rangers training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Elvis Noor 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Posta Rangers against Muranga Seal

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

Player ratings

Oliver Maloba runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Lazarazu Otieno talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Posta Rangers know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alvish Ram

57 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Posta Rangers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 6 of the 30 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Squad

Kevin Simiyu keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Posta Rangers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Elvis Noor 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 Posta Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Posta Rangers counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Posta Rangers now.

Match

Posta Rangers come up short against Ulinzi Stars

Ulinzi Stars left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

No hiding place for Victor Majid

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yusuf Ayinde

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

Player ratings

A day to forget for Dimpol Omamo

Marked 5.58, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Victor Majid

46 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Posta Rangers lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad

Samuel Njau keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Posta Rangers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Kennedy Ochieng is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Posta Rangers is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

Elvis Noor 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.

Squad

Dimpol Omamo 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 Posta Rangers this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Oliver Maloba

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market

Posta Rangers sign Patrick Atiemo, one for the future

Patrick Atiemo is 19, and Posta Rangers 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.

Match

No goals between Posta Rangers and Sofapaka

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Sofapaka will be the happier side with the point.

Market

The Jackson Dwang story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jackson Dwang signs something — a contract at Posta Rangers or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
