Squad26 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Goga Ananidze

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

Match21 Jun 2028

Chikhura out of the cup

Dila ended it 0‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

The dugout26 Jun 2028

Kakha Shengelia says Chikhura 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.

Match24 Jun 2028

The wait goes on for Chikhura

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.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Alef 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.

Match24 Jun 2028

The goals have deserted Chikhura

3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Chikhura can tell you which week it ends in.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

Chikhura rebuffed over Giorgi Beridze

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

Squad26 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at Chikhura

Luigi Gaspar 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.

Match24 Jun 2028

Lokomotivi take the points off Chikhura

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Goga Ananidze damages knee ligaments — 28 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 28 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings19 Jun 2028

Nobody could get near Pedrinho

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Chikhura

Luka Kapianidze 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.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Alef 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.

Torpedo Kutaisi tell Chikhura: Lucas Flores 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.

Match19 Jun 2028

The half-term report on Chikhura

Position 7, 23 points, and every result so far reduced to one line. The second half of the season starts with the same squad and a different set of expectations.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Chikhura ask about Giorgi Beridze

A loan enquiry to Torpedo Kutaisi: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Chikhura try to borrow Roraigh Browne

Merani have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout19 Jun 2028

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Irakli Kvaratskhelia chose the glass-half-full version of 0‑0; the supporters left with the other one.

In brief

Squad12 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Goga Ananidze

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

Market12 Jun 2028

Besik Khvedelidze asks to leave Chikhura

“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.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Edgar Feijó scored one and made one — 7.85

Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.85, and 2 involvements.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Alef 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.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Door shut on Franco Fagúndez

Chikhura asked and Dinamo Tbilisi said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad12 Jun 2028

A falling-out at Chikhura

Maicon Silva and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Nobody could get near Pedrinho

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match10 Jun 2028

Late, late show earns Chikhura a point

Minute 95, against Samtredia, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Match10 Jun 2028

Chikhura share the spoils with Samtredia

A 2‑2 draw with Samtredia leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
