From our football correspondent Uneasy

The terraces5 Jul 2038

The mood at Isloch 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.

Match3 Jul 2038

No end in sight to Isloch's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Isloch has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad5 Jul 2038

12 seasons of Vadim Afanasjev

54 appearances across 12 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Isloch know what they have.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Maxim Kovalevich signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Maxim Kovalevich and Isloch agree another 2 years.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Ilja Skrobotov 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 Isloch this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad5 Jul 2038

Ivan Khovalko 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 ratings5 Jul 2038

One of those days for Yuriy Kravchenko

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Boardroom5 Jul 2038

90% of the income goes out in wages at Isloch

Every club in football pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time somebody has tried it.

Boardroom5 Jul 2038

Isloch sign 7 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market19 Apr 2038

Yauhen Shikavka hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Isloch can pretend not to have heard.

Squad19 Apr 2038

A one-man rearguard from Konstantin Veretynskiy

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad19 Apr 2038

Vladislav Davydov 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 Isloch this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Apr 2038

Words at Isloch training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ivan Khovalko 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.

Squad19 Apr 2038

The manager makes an example of Vladislav Zhuravlev

“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.

Match17 Apr 2038

A bad afternoon for Isloch against Dinamo Minsk

0‑2 to Dinamo Minsk, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings19 Apr 2038

Nobody could get near Yauhen Shikavka

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market19 Apr 2038

Nurdoolot Stalbekov linked with a move away

The name of Nurdoolot Stalbekov keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Isloch say nothing, which says plenty.

Player ratings19 Apr 2038

Off the pace: Maksim Malevich

A mark of 5.55 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

In brief
