Tempers go at Al Shabab

Ibrahim Al Bloushi 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.

Hassan Abdulrahman 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.

No hiding place for Hassan Abdulrahman

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

Hamad Nader 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.

Words at Al Shabab training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Juan Manuel Villalba 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.

Al Fujairah join the queue for Ismail Hussain

Add another name to the list: Al Fujairah have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ismail Hussain. The answer from Al Shabab has not changed — yet.

Hamad Obaid signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hamad Obaid and Al Shabab agree another 3 years.
