Marked for Eric Njeru

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match11 Aug 2031

Bidco United are in among the leaders

Position 3 and 47 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Market11 Aug 2031

Eric Njeru 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 The request is on a desk at Bidco United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market11 Aug 2031

Only the photograph left for Marcus Hill

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Marcus Hill will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Bidco United the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad11 Aug 2031

Words exchanged at Bidco United

Douglas Mokaya 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.

Transfer targets11 Aug 2031

KCB tell Bidco United: Nyamawi Beja is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad11 Aug 2031

Words at Bidco United training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Izzadin Juma 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.

Match9 Aug 2031

Bidco United find a way past Tusker

Tusker made Bidco United work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Looking ahead11 Aug 2031

Bidco United and AFC Leopards meet at the summit

The fixture the rest of the division is looking forward to more than either of the sides in it. Both know a win changes the season and a defeat does not end it, which is what makes it hard to play.

Player ratings11 Aug 2031

A masterclass from Douglas Mokaya

Marked 8.14 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market16 Jun 2031

Tobi Akiti 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.

Transfer targets16 Jun 2031

No thanks: Nyamawi Beja rejects the move

Bidco United had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at KCB, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad16 Jun 2031

Tempers go at Bidco United

Douglas Mokaya 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.

Transfer targets16 Jun 2031

Bidco United rebuffed over Duncan Ouma

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Tusker have kept their man, and Bidco United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad16 Jun 2031

A row about effort at Bidco United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Sandile Ndlovu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces16 Jun 2031

Bidco United supporters have found a favourite in Tom Wiles

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Tom Wiles has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match14 Jun 2031

Bidco United get the job done against Shabana

A 2‑0 win over Shabana, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings16 Jun 2031

Douglas Mokaya in the eights

A performance of 8.21 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
