The terraces

The mood at Police Union 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Gosiame Ngobeni out for 35 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Police Union will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

Police Union put Mohamed Warda 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.

Boardroom

Crisis meeting at Police Union

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Match

Police Union sink to position 16

8 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.

Match

The wait goes on for Police Union

5 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.

Squad

Amr El Wensh: 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.” Police Union have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Nahuel Junco stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nahuel Junco and Police Union agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Police Union

Hope Linus 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.

Squad

A fracture rules Gosiame Ngobeni out for 102 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Police Union will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

Mohamed Warda has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Police Union can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad

Daniel Kerl keeps Police Union in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom

The Police Union board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Match

The wait goes on for Police Union

7 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.

Match

Police Union leaking at the back

7 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Squad

Jérémy Oyono signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jérémy Oyono commits to Police Union for another 2 years.

Squad

Hope Linus 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 Police Union this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

A bad afternoon for Police Union against Al Ahly

1‑3 to Al Ahly, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Hope Linus 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 Police Union this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Police Union training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed Tahiri 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.

Market

The Mohammed Tahiri talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Police Union know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
