The KuPS Post

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match22 Jun 2043

KuPS are in among the leaders

Position 1 and 20 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Akseli Puukko, 36, rolls back the years — 8.06

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.06 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad22 Jun 2043

Tempers go at KuPS

Imran Firov 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.

Squad22 Jun 2043

Words at KuPS training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dmitry Alexandrov 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.

Match20 Jun 2043

KuPS find a way past Inter Turku

Inter Turku made KuPS work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces22 Jun 2043

KuPS supporters have found a favourite in Christophe Blanchard

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Christophe Blanchard has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad22 Jun 2043

Mosa Ramasobane 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.

Squad22 Jun 2043

Tim Lam stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Tim Lam and KuPS agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Player ratings22 Jun 2043

George Taylor keeps on missing

Shots: 9, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad11 May 2043

Eero Granlund damages knee ligaments — 56 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 56 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad11 May 2043

Ilian Saleh keeps KuPS in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad11 May 2043

Imran Firov 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 KuPS this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match9 May 2043

Whatever happens, KuPS do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad11 May 2043

Dmitry Alexandrov 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 terraces11 May 2043

The crowd has taken to Christophe Blanchard

At 22 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match9 May 2043

KuPS see off SJK

Three points for KuPS, 2‑0 the final word against SJK in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings11 May 2043

Nobody could get near Christophe Blanchard

Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market11 May 2043

Tim Lam told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Tim Lam has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at KuPS.
