Mikel Kaloshi keeps Shukura in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Nika Arveladze was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 28. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The paperwork begins on Temur Lobjanidze
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Shukura have done the hard part with Tskhinvali, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Mikel Kaloshi 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.

11 goals as Shukura and Zugdidi go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 11 goals between Shukura and Zugdidi, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Shukura rebuffed over Archil Zivzivadze
