Squad28 Oct 2030

Khamis Saleh damages knee ligaments — 39 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 39 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.

Match26 Oct 2030

Dibba taken apart

0‑5 to Al Wasl, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match26 Oct 2030

No end in sight to Dibba's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Dibba has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad28 Oct 2030

Eisa Houti stands alone

8 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match26 Oct 2030

Dibba cannot find the net

8 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Squad28 Oct 2030

Tempers go at Dibba

Majid Rashid 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.

The dugout28 Oct 2030

Abdelaziz Mohamed back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Dibba has worked with Abdelaziz Mohamed before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

The dugout28 Oct 2030

Fahad Hassan 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.

Boardroom28 Oct 2030

Doors closed at Dibba

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Khamis Saleh damages knee ligaments — 109 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 109 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.

Market26 Aug 2030

Abdulla Salem Maqdami asks to leave Dibba

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Tempers go at Dibba

Evans Ampofo 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.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Door shut on Abdalla Ramadan

Dibba asked and Al Jazira said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad26 Aug 2030

A row about effort at Dibba

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

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Dibba try to borrow Amadou Niang

Al Jazira have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Dibba ask about Amir Azmoun

A loan enquiry to Rah Ahan: 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 Aug 2030

A door opens for Abdelaziz Mohamed

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Market26 Aug 2030

Hamad Mohammad runs his contract down

3 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Dibba money.
