A knee injury of the worst kind for Rinat Orazov

143 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Irtysh lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Tempers go at Irtysh

Liam Hermesh 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.

Nurbol Orazov is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The small margins put Irtysh out

Out, 0‑3 to Okzhetpes, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The boos come down from three sides

“We pay for this every fortnight. The least we want is somebody who looks like he cares.” 13 of the 29 senior players walked off into it; the rest were not playing.

Irtysh are taken apart by Okzhetpes — and the town wants answers

It finished 0-3. A cup exit is a disappointment; this was a public dismantling, and the difference between the two is the number of people who will still be talking about it in August.

A chastening introduction for Dauren Shomko — 5.36

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.36 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Irtysh say no — this time

The offer from Atyrau for Nurbol Orazov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Ğafurzhan Süiimbaev 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 Irtysh this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The manager makes an example of Ğafurzhan Süiimbaev

“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.

Words at Irtysh training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nurali Suyumbayev 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.

Liam Hermesh has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Irtysh know it, and so does everybody who watches him.
