Match14 Jul 2035

The run at home goes on for Gor Mahia

55 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match11 Jul 2035

Cup progress for Gor Mahia

A 3‑0 win over APS Bomet, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market16 Jul 2035

Terms done: Abeiku Mohammed is going

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

Match16 Jul 2035

Gor Mahia are top

57 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Market16 Jul 2035

Wisdom Ndon 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 Gor Mahia can pretend not to have heard.

Squad16 Jul 2035

Sam Waller stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

No sign of nerves from David Kamau at 17 — 7.68

The hardest thing about being 17 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. David Kamau did not need any: 7.68, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings16 Jul 2035

Aïmen Moueffek, 34, rolls back the years — 8.14

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.14 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market16 Jul 2035

Maritzburg United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Gor Mahia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad30 Oct 2034

A fracture rules Koro Coulibaly out for 72 days

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

Market30 Oct 2034

Ibrahim Ayumba 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 Gor Mahia can pretend not to have heard.

Squad30 Oct 2034

A falling-out at Gor Mahia

Koro Coulibaly and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad30 Oct 2034

David Kamau signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” David Kamau commits to Gor Mahia for another 3 years.

Market30 Oct 2034

Gor Mahia and Aïmen Moueffek are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

The dugout30 Oct 2034

Austin Harrison has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Gor Mahia will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout30 Oct 2034

The manager makes an example of David Kamau

“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.

Market30 Oct 2034

Still no signature from Sidnei Tavares

1 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what Gor Mahia could get for him.

Market30 Oct 2034

The Sidnei Tavares story refuses to die

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