Market26 Jul 2027

Elvis Ronack 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 Mathare United can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings26 Jul 2027

Nobody could get near Douglas Mokaya

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Victor Omune, 34, rolls back the years — 8.14

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.14 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

Teboho Billiat: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Mathare United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Mathare United

Herit Atariza and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match24 Jul 2027

Mathare United find a way past Sofapaka

Sofapaka made Mathare United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad26 Jul 2027

Words at Mathare United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Douglas Mokaya 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.

Mathare United ask about Geordy Ndecket

A loan enquiry to Kenya Police: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout26 Jul 2027

John Muguna: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

Player ratings21 Jun 2027

Age has not caught John Makwatta yet — 7.95

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.95 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Teboho Billiat 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 Mathare United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad21 Jun 2027

John Macharia 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 Mathare United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets21 Jun 2027

Mathare United rebuffed over Bryton Onyona

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Gor Mahia have kept their man, and Mathare United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match19 Jun 2027

A bad afternoon for Mathare United against Mara Sugar

1‑2 to Mara Sugar, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

The manager makes an example of Victor Omune

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings21 Jun 2027

Matala Makhubo runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑2 John Muguna left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout21 Jun 2027

John Makwatta gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say John Makwatta is on it.
