Bidco United taken apart
0‑4 to Gor Mahia, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

The wait goes on for Bidco United
8 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.

Clinton Asiago: 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.” Bidco United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Clement Zubah 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 Bidco United can pretend not to have heard.

A falling-out at Bidco United
Lungelo Kunene and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Too dear: Bidco United walk away from Christopher Koloti
$56.0K was the most the club would pay and AFC Leopards were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Graduation day at Bidco United
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
In brief
