The mood at AS Etat Major has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Boardroom20 Aug 2029

The silence upstairs is getting loud at AS Etat Major

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Narcisse Mbaiguedem breaks a bone — 57 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 57 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Tempers go at AS Etat Major

Oumar Hissein 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.

CotonTchad join the queue for Ahmat Abakar

Add another name to the list: CotonTchad have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Ahmat Abakar. The answer from AS Etat Major has not changed — yet.

Marcellin Biandao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Abdramane Oumar steps up from the AS Etat Major academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Abdramane Oumar 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.

Djibrine Doungous steps up from the AS Etat Major academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Djibrine Doungous 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: Saleh Moustapha joins the AS Etat Major first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Saleh Moustapha is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Idriss Abakar steps up from the AS Etat Major academy

The manager makes an example of Moussa Mbainaissem

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
