Squad25 Feb 2036

Karim Karimi breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market25 Feb 2036

Yarin Shyovitz has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Tractor they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad25 Feb 2036

Tempers go at Tractor

Majid Beiranvand 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.

Match23 Feb 2036

A bad afternoon for Tractor against Persepolis

1‑3 to Persepolis, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout25 Feb 2036

The manager makes an example of Majid Beiranvand

“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.

Squad25 Feb 2036

Ismael Barea 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.

Squad25 Feb 2036

Ehsan Karimi out for 24 days

The medical room confirms 24 days on the sidelines for Ehsan Karimi, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout25 Feb 2036

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑3 Ahmad Khodadad left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout25 Feb 2036

A promise honoured at Tractor

Something was said to Ali Dastmarzeh and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market28 Jan 2036

Terms done: Hojjat Ahmadi is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Saba waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Tractor is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad28 Jan 2036

90 days out for Karim Karimi after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Tractor will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market28 Jan 2036

Tractor say no — this time

The offer from Sepahan for Parham Ghannad 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.

Squad28 Jan 2036

Words exchanged at Tractor

Mohammad Hossein Eslami 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.

Match26 Jan 2036

Whatever happens, Tractor 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.

Market28 Jan 2036

Rah Ahan join the queue for Arshia Moradi

Add another name to the list: Rah Ahan have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Arshia Moradi. The answer from Tractor has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets28 Jan 2036

Tractor rebuffed over Abbas Habibi

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sepahan have kept their man, and Tractor go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The dugout28 Jan 2036

Mehdi Khezri back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Tractor has worked with Mehdi Khezri before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

The dugout28 Jan 2036

Mobin Dehghan 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.

Squad28 May 2035

A fracture rules Amir Hossein Reyvandi out for 36 days

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

Market28 May 2035

Mehdi Zare is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Tractor is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad28 May 2035

Words exchanged at Tractor

Mohammad Hossein Eslami 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.

The dugout28 May 2035

Amir Ebrahimzadeh 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.

Squad28 May 2035

Tractor count the cost of losing Ehsan Karimi

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout28 May 2035

Saeid Karimazar 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 Saeid Karimazar is on it.

Market28 May 2035

The Hossein Pouraliganji story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Hossein Pouraliganji signs something — a contract at Tractor or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Loan watch28 May 2035

Nobody is scoring past Mohammad Beiranvand at Saba

6 shut-outs in 24 games. A goalkeeper’s loan is judged on the afternoons when nothing happened at all, and Mohammad Beiranvand has been having a lot of them.

Match28 May 2035

Tractor have something to play for

Position 5 on 57 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

In brief
