Squad22 Nov 2027

A one-man rearguard from Mehdi Nekounam

There were 14 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad22 Nov 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ramin Yazdani

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

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

Jude Soonsup-Bell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

A brace, and Baba Bello Ilou takes the afternoon — 8.87

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Baba Bello Ilou provided it, and the 8.87 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings22 Nov 2027

No sign of nerves from Saeid Beiranvand at 20 — 7.99

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Saeid Beiranvand did not need any: 7.99, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match20 Nov 2027

The wait goes on for Gostaresh Foulad

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.

Squad22 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Jude Soonsup-Bell 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.

Match20 Nov 2027

Baba Bello Ilou among the goals in a wild afternoon

8 goals in one match, Baba Bello Ilou on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of Gostaresh Foulad and Rah Ahan.

The terraces22 Nov 2027

Gostaresh Foulad supporters have found a favourite in Baba Bello Ilou

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Baba Bello Ilou has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad15 Nov 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Ramin Yazdani

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

Squad15 Nov 2027

Jude Soonsup-Bell 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 Gostaresh Foulad this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 Nov 2027

Mehdi Nekounam 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.

Squad15 Nov 2027

No hiding place for Mehdi Nekounam

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

Match13 Nov 2027

No time for Esteghlal Ahvaz to settle

The goal that put Esteghlal Ahvaz ahead was still being replayed on the concourse when Gostaresh Foulad equalised, 4 minutes later. Leads are only worth what you do with them.

Player ratings15 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Jude Soonsup-Bell

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

Squad8 Nov 2027

Ramin Yazdani damages knee ligaments — 33 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 33 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.

Boardroom8 Nov 2027

Gostaresh Foulad put Karim Azmoun on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Mehdi Nekounam keeps Gostaresh Foulad 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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Gostaresh Foulad

Jude Soonsup-Bell 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.

Squad8 Nov 2027

Jadelson Azul wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Gostaresh Foulad know it.

Player ratings8 Nov 2027

Nobody could get near Mahan Bandani

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces1 Nov 2027

The mood at Gostaresh Foulad 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.

Boardroom1 Nov 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at Gostaresh Foulad

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

Squad1 Nov 2027

Ramin Yazdani 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.

Match1 Nov 2027

Gostaresh Foulad are in real trouble now

Position 14, 9 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.

Market1 Nov 2027

Jadelson Azul 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 Gostaresh Foulad, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad1 Nov 2027

A move Naif Al-Howaitan would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Naif Al-Howaitan is living that version at Gostaresh Foulad, and it tends to show in the first month.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

Jude Soonsup-Bell runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match30 Oct 2027

Saipa take the points off Gostaresh Foulad

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