Squad

Somebody is after Ruben Abrahamyan’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Ruben Abrahamyan suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. BKMA-2 have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Market

Ruben Abrahamyan asks to leave BKMA-2

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match

BKMA-2 are in real trouble now

Position 16, 0 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.

Squad

Ruben Abrahamyan: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one BKMA-2 will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Squad

A promotion for Ruben Abrahamyan

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Ruben Abrahamyan has moved up it.

Match

The wait goes on for BKMA-2

10 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.

Match

BKMA-2 cannot find the net

5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

Match

BKMA-2 come up short against Urartu-2

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

Looking ahead

Ruben Abrahamyan goes back to face Urartu-2

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Ruben Abrahamyan’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and BKMA-2 needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Looking ahead

Looking ahead: the trip to Urartu-2

Position 10 for the hosts, a long journey for the away end, and a fixture that will look ordinary on paper right up until it is not.

9 matches without a win for BKMA-2

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around BKMA-2 are no longer polite ones.

Match

Chastening afternoon for BKMA-2

A 0‑3 beating by Andranik was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match

BKMA-2 taken apart

0‑4 to Hayq, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

8 matches without a win for BKMA-2

The run now stands at 8, and the questions being asked around BKMA-2 are no longer polite ones.

Match

3 matches without a goal for BKMA-2

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Match

A bad afternoon for BKMA-2 against Shirak-2

0‑1 to Shirak-2, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Artak Ghazaryan faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Artak Ghazaryan after 0‑1, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

BKMA-2 leaking at the back

6 matches, two or more conceded in every one of them. Sides that create as much as this can live with it for a while. Nobody lives with it forever.

Grigor Mkhitaryan’s goal not enough for BKMA-2

Grigor Mkhitaryan scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Ararat-2, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match

No end in sight to BKMA-2's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at BKMA-2 has to find a result from somewhere.

Match

No clean sheets in sight for BKMA-2

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match

BKMA-2 come up short against Ararat-Armenia-2

Ararat-Armenia-2 left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

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

The dugout

Artak Ghazaryan answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Looking ahead

BKMA-2 travel to Van-2

Next up on the road: Van-2, position 14. The supporters who go will talk about it all week and the ones who do not will check their phones at ten to five.

Match

BKMA-2 taken apart

0‑6 to Sardarapat, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about BKMA-2 and Sardarapat in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

The dugout

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑6 defeat, delivered by Artak Ghazaryan to a room that had heard them before.
