Match14 Feb 2032

Spartak Kostroma run riot against Chaika

3‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Player ratings16 Feb 2032

Both of them Vadim Rassadin's — 9.07

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 9.07, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market16 Feb 2032

Spartak Kostroma say no — this time

The offer from Kuban for Aleksey Matveev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Tempers go at Spartak Kostroma

Oleg Nikiforenko 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.

Match14 Feb 2032

Nobody wins at Spartak Kostroma

8 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Player ratings16 Feb 2032

One of those days for Oleg Nikiforenko

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.12, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings16 Feb 2032

Denis Bokov was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.11. 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.

Squad16 Feb 2032

Ivan Laptev signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ivan Laptev and Spartak Kostroma agree another 3 years.

Market16 Feb 2032

The Radomir Pavlyuchenko conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Kuban will make the call about Radomir Pavlyuchenko this week. Spartak Kostroma have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad9 Feb 2032

Oleg Nikiforenko in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Spartak Kostroma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Feb 2032

Spartak Kostroma come up short against Orenburg

Orenburg left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad9 Feb 2032

Ivan Laptev signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ivan Laptev and Spartak Kostroma agree another 3 years.

Market9 Feb 2032

Spartak Kostroma buy the years ahead of Vladlen Bondarenko

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market9 Feb 2032

A long bet from Spartak Kostroma on Sergey Amosov

He is 15, and nobody at Spartak Kostroma signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Market9 Feb 2032

Spartak Kostroma sign Valentin Karpov, one for the future

Valentin Karpov is 15, and Spartak Kostroma 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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad20 Oct 2031

A fracture rules Nazar Zheleznov out for 52 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Spartak Kostroma will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match18 Oct 2031

6 matches without a win for Spartak Kostroma

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Spartak Kostroma are no longer polite ones.

Market20 Oct 2031

Leonid Obukhov asks to leave Spartak Kostroma

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad20 Oct 2031

Vadim Rassadin signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Vadim Rassadin commits to Spartak Kostroma for another 4 years.

Squad20 Oct 2031

Oleg Nikiforenko in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Spartak Kostroma this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match18 Oct 2031

3 matches without a goal for Spartak Kostroma

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Player ratings20 Oct 2031

Nobody could get near Oleg Nikiforenko

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings20 Oct 2031

Denis Bokov was the difference for Spartak Kostroma

Marked 7.50. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad20 Oct 2031

Vadim Rassadin knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Spartak Kostroma, and both men came out saying it was fine.
