The terraces15 May 2028

The mood at Lokomotiv Gomel 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.

Squad15 May 2028

Maxim Kiselev 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 Lokomotiv Gomel this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad15 May 2028

Uladzislau Gordeichuk 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 dugout15 May 2028

Makar Anokhin 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 Makar Anokhin trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The dugout15 May 2028

Uladzislau Dragun gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Uladzislau Dragun is on it.

The dugout15 May 2028

No hiding place for Timothy Abiodun Eviparker

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Timothy Abiodun Eviparker, and the manager let it.

Market15 May 2028

a squad player linked with a move away

The name of a squad player keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Lokomotiv Gomel say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad15 May 2028

Jakub Murko remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Lokomotiv Gomel would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Looking ahead15 May 2028

Looking ahead: Niva at home

A side in position 12 visits next. The result will not make anybody’s season and it could quietly break the shape of one, which is why the manager has been watching the video since Sunday.

Match5 Apr 2028

Lokomotiv Gomel bow out of the cup

Vitebsk go through and Lokomotiv Gomel go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match8 Apr 2028

8 matches without a win for Lokomotiv Gomel

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around Lokomotiv Gomel are no longer polite ones.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

Makar Anokhin frozen out at Lokomotiv Gomel

This is not rotation. Makar Anokhin has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Lokomotiv Gomel is pretending otherwise.

Player ratings10 Apr 2028

Yauhen Klimovich did the work nobody counts — 7.31

17 combined actions and 7.31. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Match8 Apr 2028

Lokomotiv Gomel come up short against Ostrovets

Ostrovets left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

The manager makes an example of Maxim Kiselev

“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.

The dugout10 Apr 2028

Hleb Malevich: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Boardroom10 Apr 2028

Nobody arrives at Lokomotiv Gomel until somebody leaves

The club is not barred from spending; it simply has nothing to spend that it has not first raised. Every name linked with Lokomotiv Gomel this window arrives with a name leaving in the same sentence.

Market10 Apr 2028

Talks stall between Lokomotiv Gomel and Vyacheslav Papava

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
