The terraces12 Oct 2026

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 9 of the 29 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Market12 Oct 2026

Rashad Sheydaev asks to leave Ravan

“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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Ravan

Gastón Valente 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.

Øyvind Alseth 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.

Match10 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Ravan against Inter

0‑2 to Inter, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Ivan Belov

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market12 Oct 2026

Ravan and Hélder Maurílio 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.

Mahir Nadirov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

A day to forget for Javid Dadashov

Marked 5.14, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.

Market31 Aug 2026

Makar Rybakov hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ravan can pretend not to have heard.

Match29 Aug 2026

3 matches without a goal for Ravan

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Øyvind Alseth 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Vugar Ozobic 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 Ravan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match29 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Ravan against Sumgayit

0‑1 to Sumgayit, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mahir Nadirov 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Eduard Yefremov runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Ruslan Mammadov dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

An afternoon Ümid Səmədov will want back

Marked 4.73. Nothing he attempted worked and by the hour mark he had stopped attempting much, which is the part a manager notices rather than the mistakes.
