The PSIM Sentinel

7 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Franco Ramos Mingo breaks a bone — 70 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 70 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

The silence upstairs is getting loud at PSIM

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Squad

Home is on Zé Valente's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; PSIM are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad

Words exchanged at PSIM

Jop van der Avert 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.

Squad

A row about effort at PSIM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Rio Hardiawan was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

Ezequiel Vidal has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at PSIM 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.

Market

PSIM bring in an old head

Rian Miziar is 36 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Boardroom

$547.9K taken back off the PSIM table

What was available in the summer has quietly gone. Upstairs nobody will call it a change of ambition; downstairs nobody will call it anything else.

Market

The Nermin Haljeta story refuses to die

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

The Persis Post

31 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Rian Miziar 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 Persis can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

No thanks: Shaqueel van Persie rejects the move

Persis had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Feyenoord, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad

Dimitri 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.

Transfer targets

Persis rebuffed over Ambrizal Umanailo

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

Match

The drought breaks for Persis

5 without a win is the sort of run that changes how a town talks about its club, and PSM were the afternoon it stopped. Nothing is fixed by one result and everything feels different by one.

Match

Dejan Tumbas the difference as Persis beat PSM

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Dejan Tumbas. 1‑0 against PSM, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Dejan Tumbas

Marked 8.06 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Febri Hariyadi

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words exchanged at Persis

Feby Eka Putra 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.
