From our football correspondent Crisis

Market

Pavel Balanovich 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 Lokomotiv Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Yuri Yablonski 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.

Player ratings

Mikalai Bykau 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.

Market

Niva watching Anton Korzun

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Lokomotiv Gomel have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Egor Yuschenko 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.

Match

Bumprom Gomel take the points off Lokomotiv Gomel

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

Egor Yuschenko 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.

Squad

Lokomotiv Gomel count the cost of losing Yan Pavlov

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Loan watch

Raman Filipenko counts the days

“I watch every Lokomotiv Gomel game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Bumprom Gomel runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad

A fracture rules Yauhen Shikavka out for 23 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Lokomotiv Gomel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Kirill Martynovich 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 Lokomotiv Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

Match

The wait goes on for Lokomotiv Gomel

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.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Yuri Yablonski 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.

Market

Ostrovets watching Anton Korzun

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Lokomotiv Gomel have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad

Egor Yuschenko 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.

Match

Lokomotiv Gomel come up short against Osipovichi

Osipovichi left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Ninety minutes of Valery Klimovich at his very best

Marked 8.13. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Lokomotiv Gomel.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Andrei Martynovich

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market

Mikalai Arlouski sold, and an era ends

$52.0K from Slutsk for Mikalai Arlouski. Money is money, but the dressing room has lost the man it looked to.

Market

Lokomotiv Gomel say no — this time

The offer from Naftan for Yuri Yablonski 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.

Player ratings

Both of them Valery Klimovich's — 8.33

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.33, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Yauhen Shikavka breaks a bone — 52 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 52 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $52.0K sale of Mikalai Arlouski

He is going to Slutsk, the club has $52.0K it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Andrei Martynovich

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Egor Yuschenko 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.

Match

Valery Klimovich the difference as Lokomotiv Gomel beat Uni-X Labs

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Valery Klimovich. 2‑0 against Uni-X Labs, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Match

Lokomotiv Gomel keep winning on the road

3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Player ratings

Valery Klimovich runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 62. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A fracture rules Yauhen Shikavka out for 95 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Lokomotiv Gomel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad

Anton Korzun: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Lokomotiv Gomel have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Kirill Martynovich 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 Lokomotiv Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Only the photograph left for Eduard Balanovich

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Eduard Balanovich will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Lokomotiv Gomel the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Yuri Yablonski 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.

Squad

Egor Yuschenko 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.

Boardroom

140% of the income goes out in wages at Lokomotiv Gomel

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Loan watch

Raman Filipenko counts the days

“I watch every Lokomotiv Gomel game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Bumprom Gomel runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

Valery Klimovich runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 32. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match

No end in sight to Lokomotiv Gomel's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lokomotiv Gomel has to find a result from somewhere.

Market

Eduard Balanovich has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Lokomotiv Gomel they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Yuri Yablonski 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 Lokomotiv Gomel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Lokomotiv Gomel training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Egor Yuschenko 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.

Boardroom

151% of the income goes out in wages at Lokomotiv Gomel

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Squad

Alexandr Ryzhchenko 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.

Loan watch

Raman Filipenko counts the days

“I watch every Lokomotiv Gomel game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Bumprom Gomel runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad

Mikalai Bykau has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Lokomotiv Gomel will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Match

No end in sight to Lokomotiv Gomel's wait for a win

8 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Lokomotiv Gomel has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Alexandr Ryzhchenko says Lokomotiv Gomel went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad

Yahor Zhavnerchik breaks a bone — 29 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 29 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Anton Korzun at 18 — 7.80

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Anton Korzun did not need any: 7.80, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings

Valery Klimovich runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Yuri Yablonski 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.

Squad

No hiding place for Egor Yuschenko

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Egor Yuschenko, and the manager let it.

Loan watch

Raman Filipenko wants to come home

“I did not go to Bumprom Gomel to sit and watch. I want to come back to Lokomotiv Gomel and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Market

Uni-X Labs are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Lokomotiv Gomel will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad

A fracture rules Sino Absamadov out for 125 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Bumprom Gomel will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Razzaa Fachrezi 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 Bumprom Gomel can pretend not to have heard.

Bumprom Gomel say no — this time

The offer from Niva for Kirill Yakuta 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.

Squad

Adrián Urban 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 Bumprom Gomel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Sergey Kruzhilin 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.

Match

Lokomotiv Gomel bow out of the cup

Isloch go through and Lokomotiv Gomel go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Player ratings

Mikalai Bykau runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Lokomotiv Gomel turn down Niva for Raman Filipenko

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match

4 matches without a win for Lokomotiv Gomel

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Lokomotiv Gomel are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Tempers go at Lokomotiv Gomel

Alexandr Dmitryuk 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.

Marked 7.77. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Market

Anton Palitsevich asks to leave Lokomotiv Gomel

“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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Lokomotiv Gomel against Belshina

1‑2 to Belshina, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Yuri Yablonski 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 Lokomotiv Gomel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

“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.

Squad

Yauhen Shikavka stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Yauhen Shikavka and Lokomotiv Gomel agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Egor Signevich is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Lokomotiv Gomel has been clear about where Egor Signevich stands, which is more than many ever get.

In brief
