Arsenal Dzerzhinsk turn down Belshina for Uladzislau Palitsevich
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Nikolay Sotnikov 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.

Yuriy Lovets was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.03. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
In brief
