Match13 Mar 2032

The wait goes on for Irtysh

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad15 Mar 2032

Words exchanged at Irtysh

Mikhail Zabotkin and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad15 Mar 2032

Makhach Abdulkhamidov 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.

Player ratings15 Mar 2032

Both jobs done by Erbol Postnikov — 7.23

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 10 actions, 7.23, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad15 Mar 2032

Sūltan Shymyrkhan reaches 100 appearances

100 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

The dugout15 Mar 2032

Dauren Suyumbayev 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.

Squad15 Mar 2032

Erbol Postnikov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Erbol Postnikov and Irtysh agree another 3 years.

Match13 Mar 2032

Irtysh and Akzhaiyk take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout15 Mar 2032

When it matters, Zakhar Porokh plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market9 Feb 2032

Kairat Tymoshchuk has said yes to Taraz

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

Market9 Feb 2032

Kairat Tymoshchuk 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 Irtysh, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets9 Feb 2032

Murodzhon Khalmatov is a medical away from Irtysh

The deal with Kairat is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad9 Feb 2032

Tempers go at Irtysh

Makhach Abdulkhamidov 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.

Oluwabori Falaye 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.

The dugout9 Feb 2032

Örken Makhan 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 Örken Makhan trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
