Match19 Aug 2026

Irkutsk out of the cup

Saturn ended it 0‑0. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match22 Aug 2026

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

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Neri Taliandro signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Neri Taliandro and Irkutsk agree another 3 years.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Irkutsk

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

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: Irkutsk walk away from Nikita Rybakov

$34.0K was the most the club would pay and Neftyanik were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Yegor Perevoznikov

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Volna tell Irkutsk: Alexandr Volkov 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Irkutsk come up short against Baltika 2

Baltika 2 left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Yegor Perevoznikov

“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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A debut Alexandr Nesterov will not forget — 7.23

There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.23 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Kirill Chernyavskiy stands alone

8 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.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $67.0K for Daniil Chernyakov

Irkutsk have gone to Metallurg with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Dmitry Pytlev 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 Irkutsk this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Irkutsk agree a free transfer for Ilja Volnov

Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Irkutsk rebuffed over Ilja Romaschuk

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Nazar Smolov steps up from the Irkutsk academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nazar Smolov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Irkutsk promote Bogdan Pluzhnikov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bogdan Pluzhnikov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Luka Ilyin joins the Irkutsk first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luka Ilyin is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Dmitry Pytlev yet — 8.41

At 39 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.41 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Dmitry Pytlev signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dmitry Pytlev commits to Irkutsk for another 1 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Irkutsk

Dmitry Pytlev 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Shinnik tell Irkutsk: Pavel Kuznetsov 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.

Match1 Aug 2026

Ivan Yakovlev sends Irkutsk past Cherepovets

It finished 2‑0, and it was Ivan Yakovlev’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Irkutsk.

Market3 Aug 2026

Irkutsk and Yegor Perevoznikov 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Irkutsk try to borrow Matvey Bykov

Sibir have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Alexey Zheleznov has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Alexey Zheleznov on a 2‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Yegor Perevoznikov knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Irkutsk, and both men came out saying it was fine.
