The terraces20 Jul 2043

Anger at Bari spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad20 Jul 2043

A knee injury of the worst kind for Giuseppe Cassano

16 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Bari lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market20 Jul 2043

Jack Cooper asks to leave Bari

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad20 Jul 2043

Andreas Meier is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Market20 Jul 2043

Eyes on Carlo Marini again

The phone has started ringing about Carlo Marini again, and this time the name on the line is Dolomiti Bellunesi. Bari are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market20 Jul 2043

Catanzaro expected to open talks for Giulio Basile

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Bari will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Squad20 Oct 2042

Domenico Lamberti keeps Bari in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 12 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad20 Oct 2042

Sebastiano Pellegrino damages knee ligaments — 116 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 116 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.

Match18 Oct 2042

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

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

Squad20 Oct 2042

Bruno Iannuzzi breaks a bone — 24 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 24 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad20 Oct 2042

Riccardo Pagano 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 Bari this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match18 Oct 2042

Catanzaro take the points off Bari

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market20 Oct 2042

Bari sign Jacques Royer, one for the future

Jacques Royer is 19, and Bari have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market20 Oct 2042

A long bet from Bari on Andreas Meier

He is 19, and nobody at Bari signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

Player ratings20 Oct 2042

Nobody could get near Elia Martinelli

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