Nowhere to hide for Fatih Karagumruk
0‑3 against Besiktas, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Graduation day at Fatih Karagumruk
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

One of our own: Mahmut Torun joins the Fatih Karagumruk first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mahmut Torun is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
