Match

Pafos through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Paralimni, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad

Ken Sema signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ken Sema and Pafos agree another 2 years.

Player ratings

Arseny Gerdt runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

APOEL take the points off Pafos

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

Squad

David Goldar 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.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Andrés Panesso

7.88, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Pafos had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Squad

João Correia 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.

Squad

When it matters, Jay Gorter plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

The Pêpê story refuses to die

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

Player ratings

Jajá runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 42. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

The Monaco deal is off

Everything was agreed until it was not, and Jay Gorter reports back to Pafos with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

Match

Still nobody has beaten Pafos

The unbeaten run reaches 8. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Match

The wait goes on for Pafos

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad

Tempers go at Pafos

Jay Gorter 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

Miłosz Kurzydłowski is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Domingos Quina has improved at 27, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 4 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad

David Goldar 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.

Market

Anderson is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Pafos has been clear about where Anderson stands, which is more than many ever get.
