Match31 Jul 2027

Maksym Hirnyi settles it late for Probiy

The 88th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Maksym Hirnyi decided nobody was going anywhere. Livyi Bereh had no time left to answer.

Roman Borysevych puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Probiy, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market2 Aug 2027

Volodymyr Barabanov has said yes to Inhulets

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Probiy have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Probiy told to sell

The instruction came from the boardroom and the dugout did not agree with it. Somebody will go, the fee will be called good business, and the manager will spend the season rebuilding around the space.

Squad2 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Probiy

Danylo Honcharuk 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.

Boardroom2 Aug 2027

Belts tighten at Probiy

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Transfer targets2 Aug 2027

Kudrivka tell Probiy: Vadym Stashkiv 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.

Match31 Jul 2027

Maksym Hirnyi sends Probiy past Livyi Bereh

It finished 2‑1, and it was Maksym Hirnyi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Probiy.

Ihor Babenko gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market11 Jan 2027

Volodymyr Radulskyi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Probiy, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match9 Jan 2027

Victoriia Sumy take the points off Probiy

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Tempers go at Probiy

Danylo Honcharuk 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Mykhailo Yaremchuk steps up from the Probiy academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mykhailo Yaremchuk 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A row about effort at Probiy

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Volodymyr Radulskyi was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Vitaliy Kryvtsov faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Vitaliy Kryvtsov after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Volodymyr Ivanychuk gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Maksym Kovalenko knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Maksym Kovalenko trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
