Squad

Samuel Gwijangge damages knee ligaments — 87 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 87 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.

Squad

Pablo Andrade 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.

Squad

Tempers go at PSBS Biak

Kevin López 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.

Match

No end in sight to PSBS Biak's wait for a win

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

Squad

Raja Siregar: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” PSBS Biak have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at PSBS Biak

Kadú 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for PSBS Biak against Persis

2‑3 to Persis, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Words at PSBS Biak training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pablo Andrade 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.

Squad

Pablo Andrade 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.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sandro Embaló

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

Market

PSBS Biak say no — this time

The offer from Borneo for Kevin López was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match

The wait goes on for PSBS Biak

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market

Arif Budiyono puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at PSBS Biak, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Sandro Embaló

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

Match

The cup run ends for PSBS Biak

0‑0 against Persijap, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Squad

Kadú is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Kadú: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Squad

Ilham Udin Armayn pulls a muscle — 16 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 16 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Match

4 matches without a win for PSBS Biak

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around PSBS Biak are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings

Patrias Rumere runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Tempers go at PSBS Biak

Kevin López 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.

Match

Persebaya take the points off PSBS Biak

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

The kick that got away from Lucky Oktavianto

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
