Match

Every point is an argument now for AS DGSSIE

Position 11 and 17 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market

Idriss Abakar 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 The request is on a desk at AS DGSSIE, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

Pressure builds in the AS DGSSIE boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

The dugout

Evandro Gomes frozen out at AS DGSSIE

This is not rotation. Evandro Gomes has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at AS DGSSIE is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Words exchanged at AS DGSSIE

Patrick Doukaga 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.

Squad

Words at AS DGSSIE training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Evandro Gomes is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Still no ink between AS DGSSIE and Noham Nasrallah

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at AS DGSSIE, another week without a signature from Noham Nasrallah.

Boardroom

4 new boys at the AS DGSSIE academy

Signed today, seen by nobody for years, and one of them may one day be the reason the club exists. That is the whole of the argument for an academy, and it is a good one.

Market

Abdramane Bechir told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abdramane Bechir has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at AS DGSSIE.

Squad

Tempers go at AS DGSSIE

Evandro Gomes 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.

The dugout

Ahmat Mbainaissem frozen out at AS DGSSIE

This is not rotation. Ahmat Mbainaissem has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at AS DGSSIE is pretending otherwise.

Squad

Marius Ndoram 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.

Looking ahead

Abdoulaye Moustapha goes back to face AS Algoy

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Abdoulaye Moustapha’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and AS DGSSIE needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market

The Karl Tamkio Djomo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. AS DGSSIE know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Market

The shop window has Evandro Gomes in it

AS DGSSIE have let the market know Evandro Gomes can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The dugout

Ahmat Mbainaissem asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

Abdramane Bechir has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and AS DGSSIE will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Looking ahead

Looking ahead: the trip to AS Algoy

Position 5 for the hosts, a long journey for the away end, and a fixture that will look ordinary on paper right up until it is not.

In brief
