Mikhail Gaidash keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Spartak Kostroma may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

A falling-out at Spartak Kostroma

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

Squad28 Sep 2026

Đorđe Pantelić 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

Nader Mohammadi 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Late, late show earns Spartak Kostroma a point

Minute 89, against Arsenal Tula, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Mikhail Gaidash gifts one

A goalkeeper’s error has no defender behind it to tidy it away. He knew before the ball crossed the line, the crowd knew a second later, and there is nothing anybody can say tonight.

Match26 Sep 2026

Honours even between Spartak Kostroma and Arsenal Tula

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Lev Mikhaylov: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Mikhail Gaidash is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Spartak Kostroma

Amur Kalmykov 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Spartak Kostroma training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Đorđe Pantelić 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.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Spartak Kostroma rebuffed over Rasul Mitsaev

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

A step back for Nikita Demchenko at Spartak Kostroma

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad7 Sep 2026

18 new faces, and Spartak Kostroma are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market7 Sep 2026

The ambition of Isak Bahtijaragic outgrows Spartak Kostroma early

Signings arrive with a picture of the club in their head, and this one’s picture was bigger than the building. He will play well and he will be gone, in that order, and everybody knows it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Spartak Kostroma sign Isak Bahtijaragic, one for the future

Isak Bahtijaragic is 19, and Spartak Kostroma 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Giorgy Uridia 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.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Danila Godyaev has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Spartak Kostroma 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.
