Squad26 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Bandar Omar

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

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Hassan Al Kamali

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match24 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Al Shaab

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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Shaab

Tarek Issaoui 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Nasser Hussain

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

Squad26 Oct 2026

Al Shaab keep their word to Ilyass Lagrimi

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Bandar Omar damages knee ligaments — 24 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 24 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tarek Issaoui is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Hassan Al Kamali

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Shaab

Ali Al Kamali 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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Abdallah Al-Blooshi 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.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Nasser Abdulrahman

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad12 Oct 2026

Ali Al Kamali keeps Al Shaab in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Bandar Omar damages knee ligaments — 31 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 31 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.

Match7 Oct 2026

The cup run ends for Al Shaab

0‑3 against Al Shabab, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Nasser Abdulrahman

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Hassan Al Kamali scores twice — 8.28

Two goals and a mark of 8.28 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

The terraces12 Oct 2026

Al Shaab are taken apart by Al Shabab — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Shaab

Tarek Issaoui 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.

Match10 Oct 2026

6 goals as Al Shaab and Al Ahli go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Al Shaab and Al Ahli, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match10 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Al Shaab against Al Ahli

2‑4 to Al Ahli, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Bandar Omar damages knee ligaments — 40 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 40 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Al Shaab

Ali Al Kamali 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Ali Al Kamali has improved at 24, 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. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Match3 Oct 2026

Al Shaab find a way past Sharjah

Sharjah made Al Shaab work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

One of those days for Hassan Al Kamali

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.08, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Ninety minutes of Nasser Abdulrahman at his very best

Marked 8.06. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Al Shaab.
