Squad

Ali Jahanbakhsh breaks a bone — 70 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 70 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Ali Jahanbakhsh asks to leave Siah Jamegan

“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.

Player ratings

Morteza Karimi, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 8.10

A mark of 8.10 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alireza Nekounam

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ali Vafaei 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 Siah Jamegan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Siah Jamegan see off Naft Tehran

Three points for Siah Jamegan, 2‑1 the final word against Naft Tehran in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Ali Vafaei

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

A promise honoured for Amadou Niang

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Siah Jamegan told Amadou Niang something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Squad

No hiding place for Reza Beiranvand

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Reza Beiranvand, and the manager let it.

Squad

Ali Jahanbakhsh breaks a bone — 123 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 123 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

A hiding for Siah Jamegan

Beaten 1‑4 by Foolad, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market

Mohammad Ghoddos 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 Siah Jamegan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alireza Nekounam

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Tempers go at Siah Jamegan

Ali Vafaei 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

Saman Ghoddos 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Vouria Torabi

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vouria Torabi, and the manager let it.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Siah Jamegan

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

Market

The shop window has Omid Pouraliganji in it

Siah Jamegan have let the market know Omid Pouraliganji can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

Squad

A fracture rules Ali Jahanbakhsh out for 131 days

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

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Kaveh Shojaei

There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Morteza Karimi at 20 — 7.95

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Morteza Karimi did not need any: 7.95, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Ali Vafaei 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 Siah Jamegan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Siah Jamegan find a way past Gostaresh Foulad

Gostaresh Foulad made Siah Jamegan work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Kaveh Shojaei

At 17 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Market

Siah Jamegan and Amir Ghoddos are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Alireza Nekounam

Successful dribbles: 16. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Ehsan Khodadad 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.
