Squad26 Aug 2030

11 saves: Amos Wakaso was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 11 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match24 Aug 2030

Nowhere to hide for Ravan

0‑5 against Sumgayit, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market26 Aug 2030

Emin Ramazanov 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 The request is on a desk at Ravan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Igor Ribeiro turns down Ravan

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Qarabag keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Salim Hashimov due for a Ravan medical

Everything agreed with Zira, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Paulo Nardo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Squad26 Aug 2030

Maksim Sheydaev 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.

Transfer targets26 Aug 2030

Door shut on Robbe Quirynen

Ravan asked and Qarabag said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom26 Aug 2030

Doors closed at Ravan

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

The terraces12 Aug 2030

Supporters organise against the Ravan board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Amos Wakaso stands alone

12 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Match10 Aug 2030

A hiding for Ravan

Beaten 0‑13 by Qarabag, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market12 Aug 2030

Raymond Giraud 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 Ravan, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets12 Aug 2030

Salim Hashimov turns down Ravan

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Zira keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Sergey Kazhura is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Squad12 Aug 2030

Words exchanged at Ravan

Maksim Sheydaev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match10 Aug 2030

Nobody could stop scoring

13 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Ravan and Qarabag in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom12 Aug 2030

8 academy players handed senior numbers at Ravan

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Supporters organise against the Ravan board

A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Squad3 Dec 2029

A knee injury of the worst kind for Erdem Akgun

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

Match1 Dec 2029

Chastening afternoon for Ravan

A 0‑3 beating by Kapaz was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Squad3 Dec 2029

8 saves: Amos Wakaso was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Boardroom3 Dec 2029

The scrutiny sharpens at Ravan

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Ravan is running low.

Market3 Dec 2029

Renat Abdullayev 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.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Tempers go at Ravan

Erdem Akgun 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.

Squad3 Dec 2029

Rahid Dadashov 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.

Player ratings3 Dec 2029

Maksim Sheydaev was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 18. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
