Tskhinvali are in real trouble now
Position 15, 6 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Deniz Yazici 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 Tskhinvali can pretend not to have heard.

Tempers go at Tskhinvali
Jaba Ananidze 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.

Words at Tskhinvali training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Aleksandre Kvilitaia 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.

A long bet from Tskhinvali on Giorgi Shengelia
He is 16, and nobody at Tskhinvali signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Tskhinvali sign Dato Lobjanidze, one for the future
Dato Lobjanidze is 16, and Tskhinvali have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- Market Tskhinvali buy the years ahead of Jaba Qazaishvili
- Squad Mamuka Kiteishvili asks for a word with the manager
- Squad Deniz Yazici is not doing himself any favours
