Match24 Oct 2026

The wait goes on for Ravan

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Samuel Lobato 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.

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jorginho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Ravan supporters have found a favourite in Tamkin Guseynov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Tamkin Guseynov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Namig Huseynov 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.

Qara Jafarov 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Richard Amirguliyev

Successful dribbles: 40. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match26 Sep 2026

Ravan win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 91th minute. AZAL will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both of them Samuel Lobato's — 8.28

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.28, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Ravan

Richard Amirguliyev 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.

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kamran Ramazanov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match26 Sep 2026

Ravan get the job done against AZAL

A 2‑1 win over AZAL, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Ravan supporters have found a favourite in Agil Mammadov

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Agil Mammadov has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Vugar Madatov

“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.

Dimitrij Nadirov 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.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Richard Amirguliyev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. 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

Words at Ravan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ruslan Bayramov is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match29 Aug 2026

No goals between Ravan and Sumgayit

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Sumgayit will be the happier side with the point.
