Match12 Sep 2026
Ermis taken apart
0‑5 to AE Kition, 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.

A falling-out at Ermis
Cüneyt Köz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Michalis Sofroniou is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Squad14 Sep 2026
Dimitris Chatziisaias 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.
Match12 Sep 2026
Ermis cannot find the net
3 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.
Market14 Sep 2026
Charalambos Konstantinou steps up from the Ermis academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Charalambos Konstantinou has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Ioannis Stylianou joins the Ermis first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ioannis Stylianou is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Doors closed at Ermis
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Andreas Georgiou faces the questions
“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Andreas Georgiou after 0‑5, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.
In brief
- Squad 5 past Charalabos Kyriakidis
- Market Ermis and Miguel Rajani are talking past each other
- The dugout Giannis Efstathiou gets it from the manager
