105 days out for Joe Kirwan after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. WaiBOP United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom7 Jun 2027

WaiBOP United put Liberato Singh 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.

Market7 Jun 2027

Eli Doyle 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 The request is on a desk at WaiBOP United, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout7 Jun 2027

Bill Just frozen out at WaiBOP United

This is not rotation. Bill Just has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at WaiBOP United is pretending otherwise.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Marco Garbett at WaiBOP United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Marco Garbett is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Makai Welch signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Makai Welch commits to WaiBOP United for another 4 years.

Squad7 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at WaiBOP United

Francis Fenton 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.

Market7 Jun 2027

Team Wellington are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. WaiBOP United will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Market7 Jun 2027

Deklan Tuiloma is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at WaiBOP United has been clear about where Deklan Tuiloma stands, which is more than many ever get.

The terraces26 Apr 2027

Supporters organise against the WaiBOP United board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad26 Apr 2027

Francis Fenton breaks a bone — 45 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 45 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom26 Apr 2027

The scrutiny sharpens at WaiBOP United

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

Squad26 Apr 2027

Francis Fenton 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 WaiBOP United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Apr 2027

A row about effort at WaiBOP United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bailey O'Neill was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout26 Apr 2027

Eli Doyle 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.

Francis Fenton 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 WaiBOP United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tim Lewis 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.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Francis Fenton knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at WaiBOP United, and both men came out saying it was fine.
