The Kolkheti Sentinel

A fracture rules Bachana Okriashvili out for 43 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Kolkheti will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

The wait goes on for Kolkheti
6 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.

Temur Gamsakhurdia keeps Kolkheti in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match25 Sep 2027
5 matches without a goal for Kolkheti
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 5 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Tempers go at Kolkheti
Jaba Kakabadze 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.
Match25 Sep 2027
Kolkheti come up short against Torpedo Kutaisi
Torpedo Kutaisi left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

No hiding place for Revaz Arveladze
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Revaz Arveladze, and the manager let it.

The Beka Mchedlidze story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Beka Mchedlidze signs something — a contract at Kolkheti or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Revaz Kakabadze leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Revaz Kakabadze leaves Kolkheti the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
In brief
