Boardroom

Interim Coach has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Rah Ahan can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Boardroom

The Rah Ahan board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Market

Dimas Darmawan 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 Rah Ahan can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Fahad Bader 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 Rah Ahan this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Ahmad Mohammadi signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ahmad Mohammadi and Rah Ahan agree another 4 years.

Squad

Saeid Azmoun 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

Foolad expected to open talks for Shahriar Rezaeian

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Rah Ahan will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Market

Saeid Azmoun linked with a move away

The name of Saeid Azmoun keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rah Ahan say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad

The manager's exit leaves Ali Abdurahmonov exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Ali Abdurahmonov is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.

In brief

  • Boardroom Rah Ahan pull $1.4M back off the table
  • Boardroom Rah Ahan keep producing them

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Alireza Koushki

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

Squad

Harel Atia keeps Rah Ahan in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 11 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Player ratings

Age has not caught Alireza Koushki yet — 8.82

At 36 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.82 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad

Rustam Masharipov says Rah Ahan 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

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Fahad Bader 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.

Match

Rah Ahan and Padideh take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings

The one thing Saeid Azmoun could not do

Shots: 9, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Player ratings

Karim Dejagah could not find anything

5.76. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.

Player ratings

Mohammad Taremi could not find anything

5.77. Every footballer has these and most of them happen away from a full ground; his did not, and he will be aware of that all week.
