From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match23 Sep 2026

The small margins put Alania out

Out, 0‑4 to CSKA Moscow, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

A cup hiding at CSKA Moscow leaves Alania explaining themselves

0-4, and long before the end the away end had switched from encouragement to something considerably more pointed. Nobody rings a phone-in about losing narrowly.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Alania

Batraz Gurtsiev 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.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Anzor Amiraliev 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.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Soslan Kachmazov

“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.

Boardroom28 Sep 2026

Inquest at Alania

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A mistake David Byazrov will not forget

Goalkeepers do not get to make mistakes; they get to make goals. He made one, he knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Loan watch28 Sep 2026

10 goals on loan for Arsen Revazov

6 appearances at Druzhba and the goals keep coming. Alania are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

David Byazrov is still paying for one afternoon at Alania

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

In brief

  • The dugout The view from the dugout
  • Player ratings Nobody could get near Batraz Gurtsiev
  • The dugout The plan did not have a place for Alan Bagaev

14 Sep 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match14 Sep 2026

Alania are in real trouble now

Position 10, 3 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Age has not caught Soslan Kachmazov yet — 8.04

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.04 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Anzor Amiraliev beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom14 Sep 2026

Alania close the window on a squad of their own making

15 in and 8 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Batraz Gurtsiev 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 targets14 Sep 2026

Spartak Moscow tell Alania: Ruslan Pichienko is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Alan Bagaev 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.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Batraz Gurtsiev in the eights

A performance of 8.06 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match12 Sep 2026

Tyumen snatch it back from Alania

A goal on 92 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

In brief

  • Match Alania share the spoils with Tyumen
  • Squad Alania are still strangers to each other
  • The dugout The view from the dugout

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad17 Aug 2026

David Byazrov 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Batraz Gurtsiev 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 Alania this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Alania bid $37.0K for Vadim Guskov

The offer went to Dinamo Stavropol this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Alania baulk at the price for Nikita Rybakov

Neftyanik wanted more than $29.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Stavropol tell Alania: Vadim Guskov is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Alania

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

The terraces17 Aug 2026

One of their own: Anzor Amiraliev

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match15 Aug 2026

Alania caught on 92 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Veles scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Anzor Amiraliev was the difference for Alania

Marked 7.68. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

In brief

  • The dugout Alan Bagaev is still being punished for one mistake
  • Squad 5 new faces, and Alania are still learning each other
  • Match Alania share the spoils with Veles

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad3 Aug 2026

Alan Bagaev signs on for more

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Alania lose Murat Yshyk

65 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Batraz Gurtsiev 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Alania

Alan Khugaev 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Avangard join the queue for Zaurbek Ramonov

Add another name to the list: Avangard have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Zaurbek Ramonov. The answer from Alania has not changed — yet.

Match1 Aug 2026

Alania come up short against Volgar

Volgar left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between Alania and Alan Bagaev

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Alania, another week without a signature from Alan Bagaev.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Stanislav Melnikov answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

Spartak Gogniev told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Spartak Gogniev has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Alania.

In brief
