From our football correspondent Crisis

Market9 Oct 2028

Timur Tukhtasinov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Islom Hasanov 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 Obod this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad9 Oct 2028

Mustaqim Boboqulov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mustaqim Boboqulov and Obod agree another 3 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match22 Apr 2028

The wait goes on for Obod

50 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.

Match22 Apr 2028

A hiding for Obod

Beaten 0‑5 by Neftchi, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market24 Apr 2028

Doston Abdulxayev hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Ulugbek Ismailov keeps Obod in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Timur Hasanov says Obod 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.

Match22 Apr 2028

No clean sheets in sight for Obod

5 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Tempers go at Obod

Doston Abdulxayev 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.

Squad24 Apr 2028

Timur Tukhtasinov 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.

Boardroom24 Apr 2028

Nobody left the Obod dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The terraces13 Dec 2027

The mood at Obod has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom13 Dec 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at Obod

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Obod is running low.

Match13 Dec 2027

Obod are in real trouble now

Position 16, 4 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Market13 Dec 2027

Timur Tukhtasinov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Obod can pretend not to have heard.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Islom Hasanov 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.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Words at Obod training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Shohruh Urunov 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.

Squad13 Dec 2027

A promise honoured for Ulugbek Ismailov

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Obod told Ulugbek Ismailov something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Brahim Bechir stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Brahim Bechir and Obod agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market13 Dec 2027

Experience through the door at Obod

Brahim Bechir arrives at 34 with nothing left to prove and plenty left to pass on. Legs are a young man's currency; knowing where to stand never ages.
