Match

No end in sight to Suva's wait for a win

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

Squad

Ramzan Khan breaks a bone — 31 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 31 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Salesitino Caucau asks to leave Suva

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Suva

Akuila Mateisuva 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

Abdul Mumini Salifu 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.

Loan watch

Jason Dau has seen enough of Navua

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Suva, and 6 appearances in 21 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad

Ramzan Khan breaks a bone — 77 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 77 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market

Akobirjon Ahmadjonov 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 The request is on a desk at Suva, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match

The wait goes on for Suva

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.

Squad

Atunaisa Naucukidi says Suva 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

Abdul Mumini Salifu 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 Suva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Labasa take the points off Suva

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match

The small margins put Suva out

Out, 0‑2 to Ba, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Faizal Ali asks to leave Suva

“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.

Squad

Akuila Mateisuva 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 Suva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No hiding place for Akuila Mateisuva

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

Squad

Words at Suva training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Remueru Tekiate 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.

Squad

Jale Singh signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jale Singh and Suva agree another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Suva

Akuila Mateisuva 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

Eyes on Peniasi Rotidara again

The phone has started ringing about Peniasi Rotidara again, and this time the name on the line is Ba. Suva are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Peniasi Rotidara 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.

Market

No place for Neerav Goundar in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Neerav Goundar has his answer from Suva; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Market

Suva put Faizal Ali up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Faizal Ali may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad

Jale Singh knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Suva, and both men came out saying it was fine.
