Match5 Jul 2036

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

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

Boardroom7 Jul 2036

Taraz put Askhat Postnikov on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Squad7 Jul 2036

A one-man rearguard from Stanislav Samoilov

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Boardroom7 Jul 2036

Crisis meeting at Taraz

The official line will be that it was routine. It was not routine, the timing says so, and every person in that room knows what the next bad result costs.

Squad7 Jul 2036

Askhat Postnikov: 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.” Taraz have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad7 Jul 2036

Tempers go at Taraz

Egor Ališauskas 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.

Squad7 Jul 2036

Erkebūlan Toibekov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Erkebūlan Toibekov and Taraz agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match5 Jul 2036

A bad afternoon for Taraz against Shakhter

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

Boardroom7 Jul 2036

Taraz sign 7 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

The terraces16 Jul 2035

Anger at Taraz spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Samat Nurgaliev keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Taraz may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match14 Jul 2035

The wait goes on for Taraz

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.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Egor Ališauskas 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 Taraz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match14 Jul 2035

A bad afternoon for Taraz against Ordabasy

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

Squad16 Jul 2035

No hiding place for Stanislav Samoilov

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

In brief
